The Cambodian government is furious thatThomson Reuters Foundation, an international news service, had shrunk Cambodia’s land mass by 4,515 sq. kilometres, reports Kampuchea Thmey.

Thomson Reuters Foundation had listed in its official website the total Cambodian territory as 176,520 sq. kilometres, instead of the official total area of 181,035 sq. kilometres recorded in all official documents.

The Cambodian Council of Ministers (CoM) had written a letter since 12th April requestingThomson Reuters for a correction, but up until now it said it had not received any correspondences from Thomson Reuters yet.

Mr. Tith Sothea, spokesman for the CoM’s Press and Quick Reaction Unit, said the Cambodian government had requested Thomson Reuters to correct the mistake as a matter of urgency. However, up until now the CoM had not received any official reply fromThomson Reuters yet, he said.

Note: Ohhhhh….May be  Thomson Reuters Foundation shrunk the Cambodian territorial size by 4515 sq.km basing on its findings that Cambodia does lose land to neighboring countries for using the illegal treaty 1985 and the illegal supplemental treaty 2005 (READ HERE) which later on publicized by SRP leader.  And i hope that  Cambodian govt under Samdech Moha Batdei Hun Xen will bring legal charge against the members of  Thomson Reuters Foundation like PM Sam Rainsy, too for  disinformation.
