(Phnom Penh): Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet praised venerable monks who have embraced social media as a tool to share moral and spiritual teachings with the public. Samdech Thipadei noted that even his spouse, Pich Chanmony Hun Manet, enjoys listening to these Dhamma talks.
The premier spoke on Friday (May 9) during the inauguration of the Techo Santepheap Dormitory and other achievements at Svay Pope Pagoda, Phnom Penh.
“We can observe on modern social media platforms a growing trend of sharing positive experiences and educational content. Many venerable monks and educators are using these platforms to promote Dhamma teachings,” the premier underscored.
Samdech Thipadei acknowledged that public education requires joint efforts from both religious and national institutions. He called on everyone to promote positivity and share constructive messages to help counterbalance negative content. He emphasised the importance of upholding morality, ethics, and lawful behaviour, adding that the government prefers education and moral guidance over strict legal enforcement.
