Cambodian government spokesperson Pen Bona said Prime Minister Hun Manet had directed that this year’s New Year celebrations should not include water spraying and powder smearing as in past years. Instead, they should promote national culture and traditions through folk games, dance and religious ceremonies, alongside recognition of frontline soldiers and visits to people displaced by conflict, with part of the funding allocated to them.
