Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners

Ahh, the idle complacency of the corrupt, nothing matches your boorishness and blindness...Freightdog wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 3:42 pmActually, your constant negativity about Cambodia is bordering on trolling, and puts you squarely in the suspect category- others have already been culled out.
So UT’s question is not unwarranted. Take it onboard, or risk taking a break.

Why does this post ruffle the feathers of the mods so much? I don't think the description is that far from the truth.orichá wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 2:53 pm Of course inspection is in name only.
...Local chiefs have the prerogative to take as much as they like from whoever they like, as is traditional to use property here... For example, the Chinese mob is penetrating deeply into the city of Phnom Penh. No longer are they limited to the outskirts of the city around the airport or way out in Poipet:
A colleague reported three weeks ago that he was given 10 days to vacate an apartment premises in Toul Tumpun, in the very heart of the chic expat district, in which you find non-girly bars and restos, and also in which a sizeable population of professional expats reside, including hundreds of people working at embassies, NGOs, and schools.
The man's entire apartment block was abruptly leased by persons unknown. He noticed the week following his eviction that a large black steel gate had been erected in front of the building entrance. The business inside is unknown but could be anything. Chinese guys coming and going apparently.
So, there you go. That the feckless government "expresses surprise" comes as no surprise because the ruling elite for years has given free reign to local authorities and judges to do as they please in their territory as a simple way to maintain their loyalty. Look the other way as the police chief and landlord take big money. Anyway, it's nothing new.
Sihanoukville is full of Chinese, Indonesians, Bangladeshis, etc, etc, and plenty of locals nibbling away in several multi-storey edifices all over town... It is getting busier.
One thing is sure though. The cool sea air at the beach sure as hell beats the crap out of dusty hot little Shitpot and Poopoo Penh, lol...
Riding the tuk-tuk to the bus station in PP the other night, the air was full of smoke, really thick and awful, from Boeung Tumpun all the way up to Daun Penh.

I apologize. You are right. will take a break. . . Maybe a long vacation.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 4:05 pmIt means you are using language that only young children use.

Truly sorry, I am just a little frustrated by so much lying. The government announces the air quality is great in Phnom Penh. When it isn't.
Sorry to upset with my petulance. Later, alligators...

If you don't like it you are welcome to bugger off somewhere else, I am sure we will all be able to deal with the grief and sense of loss after a year or two.orichá wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 3:40 pmWhat's that supposed to mean?

It is ugly and polluted by the smoke of dozens of small brick factories burning polyester, nylon and rubber day and night.
The government is run with the same kind of bloody awful corruption and incompetence as was Spain during the regime of Generalissimo Franco, LOL...
I CAN SEE THAT...
I think you'll find the main problem is with your respiratory system rather then the air quality.
Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners
What is this?
Maybe this person is tied to Cambodia because of work, or business.
The assumption every Westerner in Cambodia can just bugger off easily is simply wrong.

Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners
The air quality is not great. As you approach the capital from the south especially, you can see a giant cloud of dust, exhaust fumes and other pollutants over the city. However it is relatively good when compared to other cities in the region like Ho Chi Minh, Bangkok and Chiang Mai.orichá wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 6:20 pmI apologize.

Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners
I used to get visits like this quite frequently when I lived in a condo, but as I was never there, they often just dealt with my landlord and I would just give him my documents for when they came back. They did come once when a friend was there, they asked to see me and when he told them I wasn't there, they just left. I've never actually had to deal with them myself.
What is the protocol when they turn up? What's their demeanour like? Official and authoritarian or polite and respectful?
Do you invite them in whilst you look for your documents or make them wait at the door?
I don't have the FPCS app on my phone. I'm still a bit confused as to how it works. I assumed only the landlord needed it on their phone. I know I'm on it because I had to help him put me on it, but we did it on his phone, not mine. I guess I should download it. Buggered if I know the password though.
Any tips and tricks on how you should deal with them?

Open the door, slap them in the face with a few bundles of 500 riels then close back the door, see what happens ?

Re: Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners
They told me they were coming one day and then canceled. Then the next morning five of them pounced on me as I returned from buying coffee. One of them was a heavy guy in a green uniform with a gun and he stood outside. Two others had officer hats and braids and stuff. I thought it was a ridiculous annoyance as I was on my way out. I didn't really humour them much and spent most of the time smoking on the balcony nearby. One even asked for some money for coffee on the way out. I had the a couple of miserable squashed 10,000 Riel notes in my wallet that they were too embarrassed to take. Overall a fantastic experience 10/10.xandreu wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 11:03 pm I used to get visits like this quite frequently when I lived in a condo, but as I was never there, they often just dealt with my landlord and I would just give him my documents for when they came back.
