Japanese Minister Admires HE’s Facebook Skills

Japan’s Vice Foreign Affairs Minister praised Prime Minister HE’s effort to quickly resolve the problems of citizens through Facebook as his page hit the 3.3 million “Like” mark yesterday.

Kao Kim Hourn, a minister attached to the prime minister, told the media that vice minister Masakazu Hamachi “asked about Prime Minister HE’s experience using Facebook to connect with people and respond to their problems.”

“Mr. Masakazu said that [Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo] Abe’s Facebook page also receives information from people, but in general, he doesn’t respond to problems using it,” Mr. Kim Hourn said.

Mr. HE has been adamant about creating an “e-government” and issued a statement instructing all authorities and ministries to establish working groups to monitor comments pertinent to their sectors on his Facebook page. He also urged all ministries to set up Facebook pages of their own, given the popularity of social media amongst citizens in Cambodia.

In response, various ministries and government institutions across the country have begun to do so.
