The Government Will Sooner Control the Angkor Wat Entrance Ticket Operation , HE Said

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Theoretically. If that were fully true, the proceedings from ticket sales should be going to the Khmer people.

we all know that khmers can not be trusted to receive all the monies from the temple admissions,

It wasn't sold to the Vietnamese (as in, Vietnam the country)?
Obviously not, it's just a nonsense idea that is often repeated by ignorant people. The Sokha Group is Cambodian and the ticket concession was run by them since 2000, nothing was actually sold except tickets.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I'll admit I've ignorantly repeated it once or twice.
