There are reports that Mr. Mam Sonando, owner of Beehive Radio station, and his assistants were prevented by military commanders from distributing gifts to soldiers guarding Preah Vihear temple and they were asked to leave the temple.
Gen. Srey Doek, commader for the Preah Vihear precinct, told the Cambodia Daily that he did not know that Mr. Mam Sonando brought gifts to distribute to the soldiers, but he said that the soldiers will not accept any gifts that involved in politics. He said: "We will only receive gifts that are honest, but we will not receive any gifts that are not honest."
Mr. Mam Sonando arrived at Preah Vihear temple on Friday (19th) with electricity generator, fuel-operated water pump, electric cables and some consumer goods donated by listeners of Beehive Radio and Khmers living overseas.
Mr. Sonando said that he returned back to Preah Vihear on Saturday and was prevented from travelling up to the temple. At the end he decided to donate all the gifts to a Buddhist temple at Chup Koki village in Ouddor Meanchey province.
Mr. sonando said that he was happy that the soldiers don't need those gifts, so he can divert those gifts to those who needed them.
Note: In 2008, border guard soldiers did accept gifts and foods from Mr. Mam Sonando as has been shown in the above picture.
