On August 3, 2026, Lok Chumteav Hun Mana, Director-General of Bayon Radio and Television, handed over a house to Mr. ប៉ែវ រ៉ែន, a 55-year-old veteran with a leg disability, and his wife, ខាត់ ក្តឹប, aged 52. They live in បុស្សតាផង់ village, ត្រពាំងក្រញូង commune, ត្រាំកក់ district, Takeo province.
The couple have eight children. Seven are married and live separately, but all face financial difficulties. The couple currently live with their youngest son, aged 15, and four orphaned grandchildren in difficult circumstances.
On the occasion, Hun Mana conveyed greetings to the veteran’s family from Samdech Techo Hun Sen and Samdech Kittiprittpundit Bun Rany Hun Sen, as well as Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet and Lok Chumteav Dr. Pich Chanmony Hun Manet.
