吴哥窟週五日出奇观‧仙女机构严阵以待
吴哥窟週五日出奇观‧仙女机构严阵以待
仙女机构副主席宋松华（左）和官员討论群眾控管措施。
週五（23日）吴哥窟將出现日正当中天文奇观，为了避免因出现大批人潮而导致意外事故发生，仙女机构將在当天施行群眾控管措施，並禁止游客使用无人机（Drone）拍照。
按照吴哥窟的建筑结构设计与位置，每年的昼夜平分点，即9月的秋分与3月春分，观测者如果站在吴哥窟西门前面，將会看到太阳直接在吴哥窟五塔正中最高塔上面徐徐升起。今年的日期为9月23日清晨4时至6时，预料將吸引大批国外內游客涌往观赏。
仙女机构副主席宋松华表示，当局於当天將派出保安人员，以维持秩序及疏导交通，以免发生意外事故，或游客破坏古跡行为。
他说，吴哥窟將规定游客必须在当局指定地点观赏日出，以確保不会出现人潮过於拥挤现象。
他也说，当局也將监视游客的行为，不允许游客踩踏古跡或坐在龙桥上。
此外，游客也不能使用无人驾驶飞机（Drone）拍照，避免对其他游客造成困扰，甚至发生无人机掉落造成游客受伤事件。

Water Fest ‘will be celebrated’
Water Fest ‘will be celebrated’
Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday doubled down on his May pledge that the annual Water Festival and accompanying boat races – held only intermittently and in truncated fashion since tragedy hit the 2010 celebration – “must” go forward this November.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony at the National Institute of Education yesterday, the prime minister told students that the festival would proceed this year regardless of the water level, which last year was used as the rationale for cancelling the event.
That move, which had come just two weeks after the premier had pledged that it would go on as planned, was widely criticised by analysts as an attempt to prevent an influx of crowds into the city amid fears of political demonstrations over the beating of two opposition lawmakers and the ouster of CNRP acting president Kem Sokha from his National Assembly post.
“This year’s water festival will be celebrated even if the water level is only two metres deep,” Hun Sen said yesterday, contradicting his claim last year that the Tonle Sap’s 4.2-metre depth had been too shallow for rowboats and warranted the cancellation of the festival. “The water level this year is better than last year’s.”
Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology spokesman Chan Yutha could not be reached yesterday.
City Hall spokesman Mean Chanyada told the Post that a meeting had been held with the National Committee for Organising National and International Festivals (NCONIF) to discuss the festival. He said that both National Police and military police would be deployed on the days of celebration to ensure social order, though he declined to provide details on strength and methods of deployment.
“Let’s assess the situation first … There is still a long time to go … For a big event like this, we have to have a clear security strategy and what we should do,” he said.
In November 2010, in the Kingdom’s largest loss of life in peacetime, 353 people were killed in a crush when crowds became bottlenecked on a bridge connecting Koh Pich to the mainland and pushed forward in a panic.
A government inquiry that followed found no government or police officials were at fault for the crowd control issues.
When asked yesterday whether prisoners would be granted royal pardons this Water Festival, Ministry of Justice spokesperson Kim Santepheap said that, while it was indeed a long-standing tradition, no meeting on the issue had yet been scheduled.
“Normally there are three times [prisoners receive royal pardons] in a year … The ministry is waiting for the request from the provincial prisoners committee,” he said. The Water Festival is slated to be held from November 13 to 15 this year.
