Shoddy engineering. Corruption. The buying and selling of people / workers and the land in SHV.
This is international news, and but no surprise to anyone aware of what's happened to SHV in the last two decades.
I'm sure that the Khmer people are furious. I hope they can take back their country from those lining up to purchase it.

Sihanoukville, Breaking News Cambodia: Given the scale of the national and international media attention, it is not surprising that the Cambodian Prime Minister himself came to the site of the Sihanoukville catastrophe tonight to offer condolences to families and support to rescue workers.

People don't like to lose face, but neither do they like the buying and selling of their country.
You don't think the Khmer people are fed up with their country being sold off to the Chinese?
I've seen angry Khmer people, but are you saying that you never have?

Re: 7-Storey Building Collapses in Sihanoukville, Cambodia (Death Toll Rises)
From reading around what khmer friends are sharing on FB there is a lot of anger towards the Governor of SHV - greed over safety is the theme, happy to take money off chinese without care of his people dying. This whole "we closed them down twice" rings like the same bullshit from the casino on Koh Rong who despite being forced to close was found to still be operating, the excuse then was "well the police went and served them notice to close and they agreed, what more do you want us to do"Cinnamoncat wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 8:17 amPeople don't like to lose face, but neither do they like the buying and selling of their country.

There will be a bunch of high profile sackings, the chinese owners will get stiff sentences before being quietly shipped back to china and then the destruction of SHV will continue as normal until the next tragedy.

The Chinese started constructing around half a decade ago. What happened before then? It was pretty flat when I was there a decade ago and I never imagined 7 story buildings would collapse.Cinnamoncat wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:56 pm no surprise to anyone aware of what's happened to SHV in the last two decades.
