Cambodia breaks Guinness World Records one after another
Cambodia’s display of origami hearts was included in the Guinness Book of Records on 11th Apr, as the world’s largest show of origami hearts, breaking the previous record held by Britain, a Guinness World Records adjudicator announced.The nearly 4 million origami hearts were displayed at the complex of the famed Angkor Archaeological Park in northwest Cambodia’s Siem Reap province to show support for the 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in May and the 12th ASEAN Para Games in June.
The Guinness World Record representative presented a certificate to Hun Many, President of the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia (UYFC), recognizing Cambodia’s attainment of the world record title for the Biggest Display of Origami Hearts.
Cambodia on last Saturday broke its own Guinness World Record for the largest Madison dance involving 4,999 participants, a Guinness World Record adjudicator announced.
UYFC holds four other Guinness World Records so far, including the largest sticky rice cake (num ansom) weighing 4,040 kilograms, the largest Madison dance with 2,015 participants in 2015, the longest dragon boat measuring 87.3m, and the longest hand-woven scarf (krama) at 1,149.8 meters, both achieved in 2018.
