Kong Sam Ol,
Minister of the Palace
Phnom Penh Post
Royal Palace
Phnom Penh, July 31, 2012
To the publisher, The Phnom Penh Post
Clarification of article: “No plan to end Palace road block”, published in The Phnom Penh Post.
Please be informed that based on
the article in The Phnom Penh Post in both the Khmer and English
newspapers issued respectively on July 26 and July 30, I would like to
make a clarification to the publisher that due to the traffic congestion
and the high speed caused by all types of vehicles, the Ministry of
Royal Palace made a proposal to the Phnom Penh City Hall to take the
prohibition of traffic along the stretch of road in front of the Royal
Palace into consideration.
Those speeding vehicles caused disturbances for guests visiting the King and both domestic and international tourists being entertained at the garden and visiting the Royal Palace, which is the prestigious heritage of Cambodians.
Sometimes the speeding motorcycle and
car drivers use that stretch as a race track, causing traffic accidents,
injuries and death as well.
The Ministry of Royal Palace
didn’t send a written letter stating “the noise pollution from the
vehicles at day and night causes disturbance for the king” to Heng Chan
Theary, the municipal director of the traffic office.
The Ministry of the Royal Palace
is renovating its roofs which are in a dilapidated condition, so we
called for an interim closure of the stretch of road in front of the
Royal Place so as not to affect the traffic there.
The closure of the road is not
because of “the noise pollution from the vehicles at day and night
causes disturbance for the King”, as was said in The Phnom Penh Post,
because we have many pedestrians walking happily on the stretch of road
and at the garden without the disturbance from the vehicles.
Kong Sam Ol,
the Minister of The Royal Palace.

A Kong Sam ol is working for Yiek cong in Royal Palace,too. The same thing as his King's boss. Acually, this guy[A Kong Sam Ol] has more power than A King twice since this guy always getting along with the Clans of CPP the most.
It doesn't matter what you do . All of your tricks that you have learned from Yiek cong as your master mind as we all Khmer patriots had realized all of those tricky of a Yiek cong too,but we not kneel down with the enemy,Yiek cong,because of our mother land and our identity of origin. Unfortunately, you are a traitorous because of your position, and title that is why you commit to lose everything that Khmer ancestor leave it on for your family and you to live free. Now you keep sale it to Ayoun Hanoi as well, Don't you?
