H.E. Khieu Kanharith Presides Over The Inauguration Ceremony Of Jayvaraman VII’s Statue
AKP, Phnom Penh, July 28, 2011
Cambodia’s Information Minister H.E. Khieu Kanharith accompanied by his wife and Pailin provincial Governor H.E. Y (Ee) Chhien preside over an inauguration ceremony of a stone statue of King Jayvaraman VII (1125–1215, reigned c.1181-1215) and donate a unit of computer, printer, study material as well as some budget to Phnom Yat Secondary School in Pailin province.
Jayavarman VII was Cambodia's greatest king. During his reign as king, he had expanded the Khmer Empire's northern border, reaching as far as China, east bordering the Gulf of Tonkin near Hanoi, west bordering with Burma and south bordering with Malaysia.
After his death, the Khmer Empire crumbled and had shrunk to its present day's size.

If only we had a leader like Jayavarman VII nowadays...
Yes we do my fellows Khmer's. Jayavarman VII in every Khmers blood.
Too many Jayavarman VII at one particular time is not good! We need more indians and only one chief at a time.So pick your choice,and let one person to be Jayavarman VIII or better yet let's find Liv Yee the 2nd.
we should erect more king Jayvaraman VII statue on every province of Cambodia. Our current leader should follow his example to defend and preserve our culture and heritage.
