I'm guessing those allowed to wear dust masks in the first few photos are 'connected'?

Re: 50 Shisha smokers arrested in a raid
Shisha is a type of tobacco is it not? dont know why they banned it in the first place tbh

They banned it because "shisha and e-cigarettes are drugs which get youths hooked and make them neglect their studies and work, and may lead to serious problems for the nation" http://m.phnompenhpost.com/national/shi ... nationwideJamie_Lambo wrote:Shisha is a type of tobacco is it not? dont know why they banned it in the first place tbh

The shisha bars were very popular a while back (when CNRP were demonstrating) and were packed with teenagers/twenty somethings...I reckon HS was weary of the 'talk' that was going on inside.
This current raid was quite a big operation;
http://www.police.gov.kh/news/socail-se ... 0607099900 and involved the SWAT Team: fully kitted out with their kneepads.
However, the main man managed to slip away in his plateless Porsche

As the last paragraph of the Koh Santepheap article rightly asks, why was this place that was so widely known able to sell Shisha and operate for so long without being cracked down upon?

Re: 50 Shisha smokers arrested in a raid
Hahaha, I think I recognise a former student form a school near the embassy, LOL.
I don't see how it could be interfering with their studies, they don't study. They pay money and get the certificate. End of.
Maybe the shisha bars are competition for their schools, LOL
No jokes re SISHA and bars, please.

It's good to know that the govt has priorities. It is more important (and much easier) to target shisha smoking than such triffles as infrastructure, education, health facilities, corruption, illegal logging, pollution, sanitation etc.

I guess they had to use all the SWAT weapons and uniforms they got from the Chinese for selling them Ream Park to rape.
