Amid struggles by the Cambodian Veterans Association to live up to its pension obligations, Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered the minister of social affairs and the minister of finance to provide roughly $1.5 million to alleviate the issue ahead of the Pchum Ben holiday.

Hun Sen, who also heads the CVA, said yesterday at the National Institute of Education he was shocked by revelations at the group’s congress on Tuesday that 1,523 members’ families had not been provided for.
