As part of the Cambodian people’s desire to cherish the Kingdom’s hard-won freedom from years of civil war, Prime Minister Hun Manet has issued a sub-decree to designate the December 29 Win-Win Policy anniversary into an official Peace Day.

“It is a reminder of the achievement of the complete end of the war in Cambodia and the building of peace and national unity in Cambodia by the victory on December 29, 1998,” he said in the sub-decree issued yesterday.

“Peace Day is a lasting remembrance of the heroic deeds and sacrifices of Cambodian patriots who fought on all fronts; in war, diplomacy and political battles.”

“(This was done) to achieve a complete end to the war in Cambodia and to bring national unity and peace to the nation and the people of Cambodia throughout the country,” he added.

HAVING your things stolen is one of the worst things that can happen as it is an arduous process to try and get them back.

Tired of waiting for the police to take action, a Thai woman decided to try and get her wallet back after it was stolen from a department store in December 2023, alleging that she had trouble filing a complaint about her stolen wallet.

Out of desperation, Pumpim Parichat in a Facebook post, offered a generous sum of THB2,000 (RM267.25) to the person who stole her wallet, promising that she would not report the individual as long as her wallet and bank cards have been returned.
