Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 3 – Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen called on artists to become educational activists in fighting against fake news on Covid-19 in Cambodia, speaking at the national culture day on Tuesday.

He also appealed to artists and students to play a role in hygiene and sanitation education.

"I hope artists and students will educate people on hygiene to protect themselves from Covid-19. Any disease can be transmitted through poor sanitation," he said.

Yesterday at the graduation ceremony he called on each individual to join hand in countering fake news, not just relying on ministries or government spokesperson to denounce fake news.

"Each of us must help fight fake news. Just the Ministry of Health and the government spokesperson is not enough," the premier stated.

To tackle fake news, he recommends Cambodian individual to share real information on Facebook.
