NGOs want apology over mural’s erasure
Tue, 22 December 2015
Sen David
Nine NGOs yesterday demanded that Phnom Penh authorities publicly apologise for painting over a huge mural of a seamstress on the capital’s White Building last week.
The organisations, including women’s rights, LGBT and pro-transparency groups, said that the mural’s removal hurt the portrait subject’s feelings and, in a broader sense, affected the government’s push towards stronger gender equality.
“The painting shows the job of a woman who puts effort in sewing to support her family,” said Thyda Khus, the director of gender equality watchdog Silaka. “It is very meaningful to the [subject] . . . We need the authorities to say sorry in public.”

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

More likely that a ''fire'' will damage it beyond repair meaning it will need to be torn down.Duncan wrote:prahkeitouj wrote:If so, the building will never be sold.
