18 Cambodian Students to Study in U.S. as Fulbright Scholars

Phnom Penh
June 12, 2008

Cambodian Fulbright students.

The U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh conducted a pre-departure orientation for 10 Cambodian students who will pursue graduate degrees in the U.S. as new participants in the Fulbright Fellowship Program. They will join 8 other Cambodian Fulbright students currently in the U.S. for a total of 18 Cambodian students studying under the Fulbright program in 2008-2009. For the first time ever, Cambodian students will also pursue Ph.D. degrees with Fulbright funding.

Guests of honor for the opening ceremony were U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia Joseph A. Mussomeli and H.E. Dr. Kol Pheng, Senior Minister and Minister of Education, Youth and Sports. After the opening ceremony, the new students and their parents had the opportunity to discuss living and studying in the U.S. with two recently returned Fulbright alumni: Mr. Chan Virak, who received a Masters in TESL from San Jose State University, and Ms. Noun Monisophorn, who received an MBA from Brandeis University.

The Fulbright Fellowship Program was established by the U.S. Congress in 1945 as a means to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. The Fulbright program was re-instituted in Cambodia in 1994. Since that time, 94 Cambodian students have pursued programs of graduate study in the U.S., and 44 American Senior Scholars and Specialists have traveled to Cambodia to teach in Cambodian universities and assist with curriculum development.

In his remarks, Ambassador Mussomeli told the students, "You are about to embark on an adventure that will change your lives. Not only will you pursue an academic program that will strengthen your personal skills and development, you will also serve as cultural ambassadors to the United States during your time there, working to increase American understanding of Cambodia."

The primary source of funding for the Fulbright program is an annual appropriation from Congress to the Department of State. The allocation for the Fulbright program in Cambodia in 2008 is $500,000. Additionally, U.S. universities that will host Cambodian Fulbright students for the 2008-2009 academic year will contribute an additional $170,000 in scholarships and cost sharing, bringing the total value of the Fulbright Program for Cambodia this year to $670,000.

Fulbright Student Fellowship grants provide round-trip transportation to the United States, and tuition, fees and living expenses for full-time graduate study (except as noted below). The application process to become a Cambodian Fulbright Student Scholar begins in March each year with Embassy staff conducting information sessions on the process at universities throughout Cambodia.

To be eligible for the Fulbright program, applicants must:

have a strong academic background and a record of excellence in previous studies;
have completed a Bachelor’s degree from a recognized college or university;
be proficient in English (minimum TOEFL score 570);
be able to adapt readily to a foreign environment; and
be in good health and able to undergo a rigorous study program.
Since the Fulbright program is one of mutual exchange, it is also important to note that during the upcoming academic year two American Fulbright Scholars will travel to Cambodia to conduct curriculum development work at the Royal University of Phnom Penh in Education Leadership and at the National University of Management in Business Marketing. Additionally, four American students will come to Cambodia to conduct research as part of the Fulbright program. These will be the individuals whom U.S. institutions of higher education will depend on to transmit a knowledge of Cambodia to American students in the years ahead, and so we are pleased to support these scholars as well.

Since its establishment, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 286,000 participants -- chosen for their leadership potential -- with the opportunity to observe each others' political, economic and cultural institutions, exchange ideas, and embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world's inhabitants. Fulbright alumni populate an entire range of professions and include heads of state, cabinet ministers, ambassadors, Members of Congress, judges, heads of corporations, university presidents, journalist, artists, professors, and teachers. Actor John Lithgow, composer Philip Glass, opera singer Renee Fleming and economist Joseph Stiglitz are among notable former American grantees.

In Cambodia, several Fulbright alumni are working in key positions in the Ministries of Finance, Agriculture and Natural Resources Preservation, and Interior. Many others are lecturers at different universities and national program officers for a variety of international and non-governmental organizations.

France, China to sign oil and gas deal with Cambodia

France's oil and gas company TOTAL and China National Offshore Oil Corporation CNOOC are expected to sign a deal with Cambodia to explore oil and gas on the mainland of Cambodia. The signing agreement will take place this year after the national election finished. Though, they are planning to search for oil on the mainland of Cambodia, but currently, other oil and gas companies in the world such as Moeco, Jogmec, GS Gallex, Pan Orient and Inpex are working with Cambodian National Petroleum Authority (CNPA) to reach agreements on oil and gas exploration in the country? Unless, we have some solutions to help stop increasing of gasoline's price.

Democrat calls for FM to reveal Cambodia's new map

The Democrat party called on the Foreign Ministry on Sunday to reveal the new border lines for Preah Vihear Temple proposed by Cambodia in its bid to list the temple as a Unesco World Heritage site.

Deputy party leader Alongkorn Polabutr expressed concern the ministry appeared to be withholding details of the Cambodian proposal.
Phnom Penh's bid to make Preah Vihear Temple a protected site reached a stalemate last year when Bangkok objected to a map attached to the proposal.
Bangkok said it included overlapping zones between both countries and they had to be demarcated first.
Several rounds of negotiations followed and Cambodia agreed to propose a new map which Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said did not include the overlapping areas.
He doubted the government would compromise on the issue that could benefit former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra who was reportedly keen about investing in Koh Kong province in Cambodia.
Alongkorn said the ministry should make the issue transparent by showing details of the map to the public before Unesco considers the Cambodian proposal between July 2 and 10.
The Cabinet is scheduled to endorse Cambodia's new map next week, enabling Phnom Penh to submit its proposal to Unesco.
Thailand and Cambodia claimed ownership of the temple until the World Court ruled in favour of Cambodia in 1962.
Alongkorn said yesterday was the 46th anniversary of that ruling.
It should be noted the World Court ruled that only the temple, not the areas around it, belonged to Cambodia, he said.
A seminar on the controversy was conducted in Si Sa Ket province yesterday, where many panellists expressed doubts on the Thai government's expected admission of Cambodia's new map.
Last week, some residents in Si Sa Ket called for the removal of Cambodian communities from overlapping areas.

Gasoline: Almost 2 Dollars Per Liter

Most people are not ready to spend 2 dollars for gasoline per liter since their salaries are not enough to spend on transportation; however, some other people can afford for the price of gasoline even thought the price keeps increasing from time to time, in fact, they upgrade their elite cars or buy up the new arrival model. Looking back to the people whose standard salaries are not enough to spend anymore on gasoline, they are ready to use electronic bicycle imported from china as their transportation instant of motorbike.
What are the primary solutions to stop the price keeps increasing from day by day both Cambodia and the whole globe?

Charge less or Charge more?

We always expect that the more we use or the more we buy something from the seller or the service provider, will be charged or paid cheaper than less consuming user or buyer. In contrast, here, the more we use, the more we have to spend more and more payment to the service provider. In fact, all cambodian cityzents know that the price of using electricity provided by ETC is weird from other service providers since we have to spend 610 Riel for using less than 100 Kilo; however, such as hotel owners and thounsand-consumption-electric users need to spend more than 2000 riel per kilo. In addition, my friend, in a case of my friend's house, said that his house has no refrigerator and he dare to say that his house rarely watch tv or consume a lots of electricity as everyone, his family members, always out for work and he concerns that why he has to spend about 100.000 riel (over 100 kilo.) for using electric per month. That's such an unsure counter machine of electric or other cases that we have to find out in order to share and be shared with others.
so I hope in the near future something will be changed to make more reliable for users.
