Hanuman is a Hindu deity, a vanara, who are creatures with a monkey like form, and combative and mischievous in nature. They exist to serve Rama in his battle against the demon king Ravana. Hanuman's position is that of a general, commanding his fellow vanara.
Here, in the centre of the town of Kampong Cham, on a traffic roundabout, is a statue of Hanuman in combat with a monkey. It may come as no surprise that boxers in SEA sometimes ask Hanuman for assistance before climbing into the ring.
