Fresh Coconut Water. Fresh, nutricious, healthy nad refreshing (IMAGE: Cambodian Herald)

Coconut water is the clear liquid inside young coconuts. In early development, it serves as a suspension for the endosperm of the coconut during their nuclear phase of development. As growth continues, the endosperm mature into their cellular phase and deposit into the rind of the coconut meat.^[1] A very young coconut has very little meat, and the meat that it has is very tender, almost a gel. Coconut water has long been a popular drink in the tropics, especially in Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, Africa, and the Caribbean, where it is available fresh, canned, or bottled.
Coconuts for drinking are carefully packaged and sold in many places. These are typically Asian coconuts whose outer green husk has been removed, and the remainder wrapped in plastic. Throughout the tropics they can be found sold by street vendors, often cut in front of customers to ensure the coconut water's freshness. Coconut water can also be found in ordinary cans, tetra paks, or plastic bottles (sometimes with coconut pulp or coconut jelly included). Bottled coconut water has a shelf life of 24 months.
In recent years, coconut water has been marketed as a natural energy or sports drink due to its high potassium and mineral content. Marketers have also promoted coconut water for having no fat and very low amounts of carbohydrates, calories, and sodium. However, marketing claims attributing tremendous health benefits to coconut water are largely unfounded.
Unless the coconut has been damaged, it is likely sterile. There have been cases where coconut water has been used as an intravenous hydration fluid in some developing countries where medical saline was unavailable.

Deadly bus trip to Battambang

Last Friday, a bus left Phnom Penh bound for Poipet via Battambang. About two hundred kilometres into its journey it reached Pursat, a provincial capital on National Road 5 and around one hundred kilometres from Battambang.

The wrecked bus sits beside the road in Pursat

It was dark and the coach was apparently traveling at full speed when it pulled out to overtake a parked truck and collided head on with a cement truck traveling in the opposite direction.

The driver of the bus was killed and several people were seriously injured. So far this year, four people have died in passenger bus crashes, and 50 have been injured

 In 2011, 25 people were killed in passenger bus crashes and more than 100 were injured.

Earlier this week the Ministry of Interior called for all bus companies in Cambodia to install “black boxes” in their buses to monitor the “careless” driving it says has resulted in three fatal crashes on the Kingdom’s roads in the past week.

Him Yan, director of the Ministry of Interior’s department of public order, said yesterday the recent spate of high-casualty bus crashes had been caused not by faulty buses but by negligent bus drivers.

“The bus companies always co-operate well with the ministry to check their buses are in good order, but the drivers are so careless,” Him Yan said.

“So we want the companies to put  black boxes in the buses to follow the drivers and know how they are driving, and to check the speed they are driving at as well,” he said.

Him Yan said the ministry planned to crack down on reckless driving and suspend, or shut down, bus companies that were found to have caused traffic accidents.

Representatives from Virak Buntham Express Travel, the operators of the bus that crashed in Pursat, declined to comment. However, Mekong Express bus company administrative manager Sin Sisaket applauded the government’s call for all of the Kingdom’s passenger buses to install a “black box”.

Sin Sisaket said all of the Mekong Express buses had already installed a similar machine of their own initiative to record the speed of the bus and counter bus drivers who “try to tell us a lie, because we can see what is happening during their driving.”

The devices also limit the speed at which the buses can travel.

“We put it with the wheel, so the drivers cannot drive faster than the company-imposed speed limit,” he said.

“We allow them to drive up to 70 or 80 kilometres per hour when they are transporting passengers and that is different from the speed limit from the law traffic, which allows 90 kilometres per hour.”
