The Preah Vihear National Authority has commenced its renovation and repair works of the Preah Vihear temple, reports Radio Free Asia.
Mr. Suos Yara, Undersecretary of the Council of Ministers in charge of Preah Vihear developments, said the renovation and repair works have been carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the technical experts. "We look at [the temple] in accordance with the reccomendations of the technical experts. We look at which parts are our priority and which parts are vulnerable to collapse and we will repair them first. We cannot say how big is the project, it all depends on the budget we recived. We will repair the areas of priority first like if the stairs are all in dereliction and out of use we will repair them first", he said.
Government officials refused to reveal the annual budget earmarked for the renovation and repair works of Preah Vihear temple.
A police officer based at Preah Vihear said the renovation and repair works have commenced, starting with the temple's columns. "The authority started to straighten up the tilted columns because they are afraid that they will collapse one day. They are starting the renovation and repair works now like they try to dry the pond to clean the dirts", he said.
Mr. Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, said in 2010 Cambodia will design a masterplan for the developments of the Preah Vihear temple and send it to Unesco before the end of the year.
