New Hope!

Humanitarian:

World Food Programme resumed their breakfast distributions to 450,000 Cambodian school children in rural areas, reported AP on Tuesday.

The new scheme will cost around USD 9 million per year, which means each children wil recieve around USD 20 in terms of food cost, added the news wire service.

The attemp is to reduce children's lack of nutritions and as the result will increase their learning capacity. But the United Nations World Food Programme is not so sure if this programme could last longer due to fund insecurity, stressed AP.

Comments:

It is always very nice to see children come to school in the morning, holding their bags. In addition, they also bring their plates and wait for yummy breakfast. Later on, they stay at schools and learn from their teachers.

It is such a good innitiative to attract students to come to class. And it is not expensive. Only USD 20 per year could change their lives and histories. It is more than worth to invest.It helps both children's education and health.

Poor Cambodian children face difficulties even before births. Now they are on earth and looking for hopes. Their hopes are some other people's unnecessary. I always feel positive that our rich Cambodians will share their happiness with those children.

It is the second time this year that I heard about foreign entertainment companies planned to sue Cambodian firms for copying their work. It is applauded, by the way. Every time I listen to the current Cambodian music, I have the feeling of finding out where it is copied from. It is annoying! I could not relax with the music. That's why almost every month local firms are able to release at least an album! The number of album sung by a local singer exceeds even Michael Jackson's.

Wake up, please!  If we put all the blames to the market or the audience, it is very wrong. Audience never like the copied ones although they prefer low cost. They would like great music, the one that they admire and appreciate! And if you tell me Cambodian music is invaded by foreigners' resulted from globalization's effect, it will never convi...

Closing Cambo Six is a safe bet for securing government's social goals

The Phnom Penh Post's article "Game over for Cambo Six", published on February 26 about the government's closure of Cambodia's legal betting company Cambo Six revealed another major development of the Kingdom's policies towards gambling. It is more focused on long-term results of social improvement by eliminating contradictory forces such as gambling. The new policy will save a great deal for the government's poverty reduction plan, for public spending and for improvements in education. Firstly, the closure will remove the forces that contradict poverty-reduction efforts. This means at the same time the government and civil society are running programs to make people richer, gambling makes them poorer. Secondly, the government's order saves the country's public spending. The government, of course, loses tax income from gambling. But they do not need to increase the budget to cope with social problems resulting from gambling. Domestic violence, ro...
