Kompong Speu – As thousands of people descended on Phnom Penh for the return of the Water Festival this week,

Clergy Strives to Keep Festival Traditions Alive
Kompong Speu – As thousands of people descended on Phnom Penh for the return of the Water Festival this week, about 300 villagers in Kompong Speu stayed closer to home to celebrate two Buddhist rituals on Thursday night. Ak Ambok and Sampeah Preah Khe, which translate as “offering pounded rice” and “PAYING respects to the moon,” were once celebrated in pagodas across the country on the night of the full moon that falls during the Water Festival. Young people feed each other fruit and pounded rice during the Ak Ambok ceremony at Treng Trayoeng pagoda in Kompong Speu province's Phnom Sruoch district on Thursday night. (George Wright/The Cambodia Daily) Young people feed each other fruit and pounded rice during the Ak Ambok ceremony at Treng Trayoeng pagoda in Kompong Speu province’s Phnom Sruoch district on Thursday night. (George Wright/The Cambodia Daily) But the tradition is slowly fading away, members of the Buddhist clergy say. This year, only a handful of pagodas in Phnom Penh staged the rituals, and they were held in only a smattering of pagodas in the provinces. Ak Ambok and Sampeah Preah Khe derive from a legend that Buddha was once incarnated as a rabbit named Pouthesat, who sacrificed himself for a hungry god by jumping into a fire during a full moon. Bananas, sweet potatoes, yams, coconuts and pounded new rice are offered to the rabbit Buddha. As the rituals’ appeal has waned among younger generations in recent decades, monks at Treng Trayoeng pagoda in Phnom Sruoch district’s Treng Trayoeng commune have been forced to resort to some unorthodox methods to entice the local youth, such as playing loud pop music through speakers. “I am really worried we will lose this tradition,” said Nou Chin, chief monk at the pagoda, his voice competing with bass lines blaring from the sound system. “We use this music to attract the younger members of the community. Once they are here, we can stop it and then explain about these traditions,” he said “It’s like fishing: If you don’t put bait on the hook you will not catch any fish.” Perhaps because of his extraordinary efforts, Thursday night saw a healthy turnout of revelers, many of whom were local youth. Beginning at about 6 p.m., the festivities included a mixture of past and present traditions, as some youngsters tried their hands at traditional rice pounding while others took to the dance floor and bought raffle tickets in hopes of winning a cash prize. At one point, there was a three-way battle for the airwaves, with a monk giving blessings over one sound system and traditional Cambodian music coming from speakers outside the pagoda, while techno music blared from the dance floor. Nget Chanbo, chief of the religion department at the Ministry of Cults and Religion, said based on his own observations, about 60 percent of pagodas still hold small Sampeah Preah Khe and Ak Ambok ceremonies, but he said the number was on the decline. “People are not practicing the ceremony [in pagodas] as much because people lost their faith because there are some monks involved in politics,” he said. “The people’s beliefs are less strong because they are influenced by other cultures and different religions such as Christianity and Islam…who use money to attract people, but with Buddhism you either believe or you don’t,” added Mr. Chanbo. The dance floor had been in full swing for about three hours at 10 p.m. when the speakers were cut and about a third of the revelers sat down on mats for a blessing. The chief monk then gave a brief sermon explaining in detail the meaning of the ceremony. Soon after came the candle burning ceremony, when five candles representing Kompong Speu and four neighboring provinces were attached to a wooden beam and rotated until they sputtered out. The chief monk then examined the pattern of candle wax drips and the speed with which the candles burned out to make predictions for the coming year’s weather and general luck. Kompong Speu burned out fast, indicating heavy rainfall early in the year. Nou Chin asked the onlookers what they thought the province’s candle wax drips looked like. “A beetle!” somebody shouted, prompting giggles among the crowd. The chief monk laughed too, but then considered the wax more closely. “I think it looks like a stream and a dam, so it means that our Kompong Speu province will have a good year of rice next year,” he told the crowd. The most animated part of the night was Ak Ambok, where young men and women are paired up in lines and made to feed their partner as much ambok, or pounded dry rice flakes, as they can stomach. They also stuff bananas and coconut into each other’s faces—anything that a rabbit might like to eat is fair game. The tradition is lighthearted, but it has a serious purpose, bringing the community together at the start of the rice-harvesting season to celebrate the fruitfulness of the land and the rains of the past six months, and look ahead to the coming harvest. Ambok is usually made from the new grains of “srov domnerp,” or glutinous rice, just after they sprout. Koy Hon, 53, said she attends the ceremony at Treng Trayoeng pagoda every year and particularly loves preparing ambok, but was worried that the tradition would soon be lost. “If I had money, I would buy more giant wooden mortars to make ambok and show the young people,” she said. Catching sight of a group of children and teenagers nearby who were attempting to pound the new rice into flakes of ambok, she shouted, “Hey, don’t do like that, it is not correct!” Ms. Hon rushed off to show them the correct way to wield the wooden pestle. “I’m worried that it will be lost one day and my children won’t even know what rice is,” she said after returning from her impromptu demonstration. After one last blessing, the older and middle-aged villagers began mounting their motorbikes for the short ride home. The teenagers returned to the speakers and danced to the pulsing strains of techno music long into the night.

Xi outlines ‘6 priorities’ in building new type of relationship with US

FOLLOWING an intense two days of talks, Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Barack Obama unveiled an array of agreements on climate change, military cooperation and trade as they sought to overcome tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Xi outlined six priorities in building a new type of major-country relationship with the United States. “China would like to work with the US to implement the principle of no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect, cooperation and common prosperity and make the new type of major-country relations between the two countries produce more benefits to people in the two countries and the world,” Xi told Obama. “I will make joint efforts with President Obama,” he said. “I would like to keep in close touch with him.” The six priorities in China’s diplomacy with the US include the communication between high-level officials, mutual respect, cooperation in all aspects, management of disputes, collaboration in the Asia-Pacific and joint actions on global challenges, according to Xi. Xi and Obama met at the Great Hall of the People, following a red-carpet ceremony to welcome the US president yesterday morning. Obama arrived in Beijing on Monday for the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders’ Meeting and a state visit at Xi’s invitation. Ending his first visit to China in six years, Obama said he and Xi have reached a “common understanding on how the relationship between our countries should move forward.” “Where we have disagreements, we will be candid about our intentions, and we will work to narrow those differences where possible,” Obama said before leaving for Myanmar, his second stop on a three-country trip through the region. Both Xi and Obama heralded a joint commitment to cut greenhouse gases. They also announced an agreement to have their militaries give each other more guidance about their activities in the Pacific. In addition, the two leaders touted a breakthrough in trade talks to reduce tariffs on high-tech goods, as well as a deal to extend the lengths of visas to US and Chinese citizens. Obama yesterday congratulated Xi and the people of China for “hosting a successful APEC summit” and expressed his gratitude for Xi’s “outstanding hospitality in the state visit.” Saying this year marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of China-US relations, Xi said bilateral ties now stand at a new starting point. “Facing the current complicated and changing international situation, China and the United States should and will be able to cooperate in more areas,” Xi said. On Tuesday evening, the two heads of state held a meeting at the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in downtown Beijing after the APEC meeting. At the meeting, Xi proposed “a new type of military relations” that suits the new type of major-country relationship between China and the US Xi said the defense departments of the two countries have signed agreements to establish a mutual reporting mechanism on major military operations and a code of safe conduct on naval and air military encounter between the two sides. The two militaries should deepen exchanges, mutual trust and cooperation based on these agreements, he said. China would like to make progress in the exchanges between senior officers of the two armed forces, smooth communication mechanism and conduct more joint trainings and drills with the US side. Xi also welcomed the US to take part in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Silk Road Fund initiated by China.

The floor collapsed, machines fell and workers screamed


The floor collapsed, machines fell and workers screamed. What began as an ordinary morning at the Nishiku Enterprise garment factory ended in chaos last month when the floor beneath the workers’ feet suddenly gave way. “I fell down 3 metres; the sewing machine fell on top of me. I didn’t think that I was still alive,” recalled 33-year-old Seang Sophan, still in pain from leg and hand injuries. In the weeks since the accident at the factory – which has produced garments for major brands New Look and H&M – architects and builders interviewed by the Post have pointed to Cambodia’s near-complete lack of building standards as the likely culprit. But with hoped-for ASEAN integration looming, a path towards finally obtaining those standards may finally be in sight, according to a UK government-commissioned report obtained last week. “From discussions with [government adviser] Dr Sok Siphana … a planning and building standards bill will be introduced to the Kingdom’s parliament during 2014, as part of Cambodia’s accession to ASEAN,” the report says. The report is based on the findings of the UK’s Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), who visited Phnom Penh in March to assess the challenges involved in introducing new standards and to advise Cambodia’s government on its role in ensuring the industry is regulated. The report highlights “an immediate need to identify and risk assess factories that may be unsafe for use due to failures in fire safety mechanisms and possible structural flaws”. In the long-term, it says, there is a “need to introduce building standards into the Kingdom and in parallel develop … a building control profession to undertake the compliance checking and enforcement of these standards”. But this will be no easy task. Much of Cambodia’s infrastructure had to be redeveloped after the civil war, which the report says “led to a myriad of standards being used by the international investors”. “However, these standards are not tailored for local conditions,” it says. The inception of national building standards will take “several years to accomplish and would also require the establishment of testing facilities for materials as well as the training and employment of a cadre of building inspectors,” the report continues. Other needs identified in the report include new university courses, indemnity insurance and the establishment of a regulatory body. Siphana could not be reached for comment yesterday, but Kert Sareth, an undersecretary of state at the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, confirmed the government was working towards drafting the bill, but could not reveal when it might reach parliament. The need for such a bill cannot be underestimated, experts say. Cambodian-based architect Don Rennie said “simple life-safety issues” in the industry are often “just ignored”. “There is a lack of knowledge, training and experience. There is a lack of enforcement of existing laws,” he said. In the United States, simply having a degree in architecture “does not make you an architect.… Here, it does”. Drawing further comparisons, Rennie said the lack of inspections in Cambodia could not be further away from the “police authority” awarded to Los Angeles building inspectors. This suggests “the value of life here … is very cheap,” he said. But it is not just the government that has come under fire. Joel Preston, a consultant at the Community Legal Education Centre, said that while the “number one responsibility rides with the government,” if brands “want to claim they are socially responsible” they, too, should play a role. Building safety is “a massive concern for us because of the increasing prevalence of these incidents,” he said, adding that without reform, collapses could become a “continuing trend”. The RICS assessment was spurred by the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh, which left more than 1,100 people dead and thousands wounded. Following the disaster, Cambodia’s own thriving garment sector was touted as a “cleaner” alternative for brands. But while Cambodia’s mainly one- and two-storey factories reduce the risk of structural failure – unlike Bangladesh – experts say the complete lack of standards leaves the Kingdom’s workers unprotected. And failure to reform could cost the country money, through the “withdrawal of existing business”, according to RICS. In May 2013, less than one month after the Rana Plaza tragedy, a mezzanine constructed without authorisation collapsed at the Wing Star Shoes factory in Kampong Speu province, crushing two workers to death. Korn Vet, the father of teenage victim Kim Dany, who had been working at the factory for just two weeks prior to the collapse, said that he had never considered that the building his daughter was working in might be unsafe. “I am still in shock,” he said. Vet said that concern about building safety has driven his three other daughters out of Cambodia’s largest export sector and into farming. Until proper standards are introduced, he said, he and his family will not trust factory work. “Workers’ safety should come first.… We do not want to see another accident when they have happened already; the government must start to take action,” he added. On the day of the accident at the Nishiku Enterprise factory, a company director said the floor that collapsed, built over a 40-by-20-metre reservoir, had not been reinforced. The factory and those who built it have thus far faced no legal action over allegations of possible negligence. Now back at work but in a different building at the large complex, Sophan said she is afraid of disaster striking again. “I am worried that the factory still allows other workers to work in the old building,” she said. “I will not return to work in the old building if the factory is not built to a standard that will ensure our safety.”

The Cambodian Rice Federation (CRF) is seeking financing from China’s Export-Import Bank.

The Cambodian Rice Federation (CRF) is seeking financing from China’s Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) to build much-needed infrastructure such as warehouses and drying facilities to hopefully increase milled rice export capacities. Sok Puthyvuth, president of the CRF told the Post yesterday that the CRF had set up a working group charged with studying Cambodia’s rice industry and preparing a proposal for the Chinese bank’s funds. “We are working on our internal plan before submitting to them [Ex-Im] because we need to know exactly what our current capacity is and how large a loan we need to increase that,” Puthyvuth said, declining to detail how much funding the CRF plans on asking for. In May, during the CRF’s presidential appointment, Puthyvuth said Cambodia’s rice industry needed more than $500 million in financial assistance for industrial development. “We are studying all aspects of rice sector’s holding capacity infrastructure including warehouses, drying, silo, seeds, everything.” Puthyvuth said the CRF will submit the rice body’s plan to the Cambodian government for approval. If given the green light, he said a loan agreement with Ex-Im could be signed as early as next month. Managing director of milled rice exporter Mekong Oryza Trading, Hun Lak said the industry was in urgent need of “hundreds of millions of dollars” to build the warehouses and silos needed to house Cambodia’s rice. “It is very important for the industry. When we have all of these, we can be able to accept big order contracts,” Lak said. “I think now the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Economy and Finance are still negotiating with the Chinese bank. It is a very positive sign that the government is acting to help rice exporters.” Ken Rattha, spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce could not be reached for comment. In Channy, CEO of Acleda Bank, which last year provided about 50 per cent of the agriculture industry’s $700 million worth of commercial banking loans, said the CRF will have to provide clear and transparent financial statements to prove the need for such a loan. “Our country’s banking system has a lot of money to loan them but what is important is that most of them don’t have clear financial statements – that is the main issue,” said Channy. “Any and all banks will ask about it. Of course they will likely grant them a loan, but it could again just be in small amounts.”

The eldest son of the former England captain was wanted by a number of Barclays Premier League clubs, but the 15-year-old is understood to have opted for Arsenal after impressing coaches in north London. Brooklyn has been training with the Gunners and playing for their Under-16 side, having previously had trials with Chelsea, United, Queens Park Rangers and Fulham.

Bookmakers Coral place Brooklyn at 14/1 to appear in the Premier League and 33/1 to play for England at senior level. Despite David's history at Old Trafford, the Beckham family have strong connections with Arsenal. The former Real Madrid midfielder's youngest son Cruz, nine, is a member of the Under-10 side while Romeo, 12, plays for Arsenal's Under-13s. David trained with Arsenal in January last year to keep fit after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer season, before joining Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain where the 39-year-old retired. An Arsenal source told the Daily Star: 'Brooklyn is talented and he has stood out in all of the training sessions and games he has played. 'He has had other teams sniffing around and it was always going to be a case of when, not if, he was signed up by a big-name club. 'Arsenal realise he can be a huge talent. They have seen that potential and protected their asset. The club has signed him, fending off interest from Manchester United and Chelsea in the meantime. Next summer we may see him sign a big-money deal and with Arsenal.' Professional contracts cannot be signed until the player is 17, but clubs can reach pre-agreements with their targets. As yet, there is no official word from the Beckham camp or Arsenal as to whether the reports are true.
