Sic Site....

I have read Rasmei Kampuchea daily newspaper, issued 17 December 2008, on title is the body free of Apsara. It was shocked me… wow what it is. Through out its context, it refers to Apsara. Unbelievable, Unbelievable… This is the innovation?

Apsara is respectful girl carved on Angkor Wat temple’s wall. Moreover, Apsara Dance has been recognized as world intangible heritage.
Of course, I do agree that Apsara’s body is free, no shirt, during that time. But when we look at a new crazy innovation design, it seems that those Apsaras’ faces are passionate (Sic). If we compare to original Apsara status, it does not show sexual feeling on their faces. They smile as respectful Khmer women, moreover, it indicates the meaningful.

I strongly criticize that these designers are changing value of Cambodia culture. They just serve their business, profits only. Maybe they are outside the country for long time and have forgotten what Khmer culture is.
I have some recommendation, we have valuable culture, thus please do not do something confusing to the next generation or other who do not know about Cambodian culture.
