Utopia Corner demolished in a short time.

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Utopia Corner demolished in a short time.

Post by paparazzi »

Large crowd watching the businesses at Utopia Corner in Sihanoukville demolished.

Seems all demolished in a few hours.

Onlookers stunned as people operating business all said goodbye to their livelihood.

do you mean it was an unscheduled demolition where they just tore the place down with owner assets in place?

Looked like it when i drove by.

Allot of military police keeping an eye on the whole thing and at the same time they were tearing down the place other people were putting what they could into a truck outside.

I did see some of the business owners advertising their last day of trade. There must have been notice given. Wondering if the speed of demolition caught them before they got all their assets out.

Just seemed a tense situation.

Certainly another large area of constuction about to happen. Problem is not much left standing in that prime area and add to that the large construction site on the beach.

Hard to see why anyone would want to visit a city which is just a big construction site!!!!!

I guess the Chinese will enjoy.

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
