Svay Rieng: Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany Hun Sen have extended help to a family who just welcomed their triplets. The triplets were born last Friday at the capital’s Calmette Hospital. The Prime Minister and his wife received the information about the babies and the parents which prompted the honorable couple to donate cash, food items and baby supplies.

Over $1,200 cash donation was handed over by the Prime Minister’s personal assistant, Seng Teang on Friday morning. Teang says that the donations were gifts of Prime Minister Hun Sen and Bun Rany Hun Sen to the couple. The parents of the triplets were identified as Meas Sona, 27 and Mao Sophors, 29.

Sona works as a bank employee while Sophors is a microfinance worker. The couple lives in Svay Rieng province but chose to give birth in the capital.

The Prime Minister’s assistant stresses that these donations were not from the Royal Government, the Cambodian Red Cross, or any of the political parties, but rather from pure generosity with the high consideration of Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife who have witnessed the real difficulties for people who have given birth to three or four twins. Since 1999, the Prime Minister and Bun Rany Hun Sen have already personally helped a total of 382 families who have given birth to twins, triplets or quadruplets.
