Prasat Thnom Pdey is famous for taking land as property

 Thnom Pdei temple is a national cultural property located in Chrolong village, Da commune, Kampong Leng district, Kampong Chhnang province.

Mr. Sok Thuok, Director of the Kampong Chhnang Provincial Department of Culture, told Kampuchea Thmey that every year, all the temples in Kampong Leng district are guarded by the state. But in 2021, the name of the guard that the department requested the Ministry has not dropped yet, which can usually fall during this 2 months.

The director of the department said that when there is a guard, the department has assigned a cat to protect the temple to help protect the temple to have a good environment.

Separately, for the management of the site of the temple, in the past, the Ministry of Culture did not allow the construction of a fence around the temple, but can mark the border.

According to the policy of the Ministry of Culture, in 2021, the working group of the Ministry will cooperate with the Provincial Department of Culture to study the location of all the temples in the province to make the title of state property owned by the Ministry of Culture properly. To preserve, protect and protect in the future.

Regarding the question of why they did not clear the pit in the temple that criminals dug to find treasure in the 1980s, are we not afraid of the collapse or collapse of the empty temple?

Regarding this question, Mr. Sok Thuok, Director of the Kampong Chhnang Provincial Department of Culture, replied that we could not arbitrarily remove the excavated pit in the temple because it was illegal.

The removal of the above pit is possible only if the technical engineers of the Ministry of Culture inspect and evaluate first and also have a decision from the Minister of Culture.

Kampong Chhnang Provincial Department of Culture also appeals to the authorities as well as all our people to help protect and prevent, please report immediately in case of further excavations by criminals in all temples. To jointly help protect all the temples in Kampong Chhnang province to remain stable in the future.
