More Chinese Takeover in Sihanoukville

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.

another new project announced
Morgan The Pure Bay, a multi-million dollar mixed-use development by a Chinese firm, broke ground on Wednesday in Sihanoukville, on the country’s coast.

A project of Chinese-owned Morgan Group, the 38-storey building will occupy 3.2 hectares of land in Otres Beach.

It is Morgan Group’s second development in the Kingdom, following Morgan Tower in Phnom Penh’s Koch Pich, which is still under construction.

“The beautiful bay of Preah Sihanouk province impressed us and we decided to invest here,” said Ding Yongjun, managing director of Morgan Group.

“The project’s attractive design, duty-free shops, and luxury items will attract many tourists visiting the coast.”

Mr Ding did not disclose the amount invested in the project.

Preah Sihanouk Governor Kouch Chamroeun said Morgan Group’s presence in the province is the natural outcome of the current rise in tourists and will be an important contribution to Preah Sihanouk’s economy.

According to Mr Chamroeun, China continues to be the top investor in several industries in the province, including manufacturing, transportation and logistics, tourism, gambling and construction.

He said that 819 construction projects have been greenlighted since 2007 and hat the province now boasts 218 buildings higher than five storeys.

“We welcome Morgan Group’s mixed-use development project. Our province has been lucky to receive a lot of investment over the last few years, especially from China, that contributes to its development and improves people’s lives,” he said.

“This investment will contribute to the economic growth of Cambodia and create many jobs for our people, especially those living in Preah Sihanouk,” he added.

Minister of Land Management Chea Sophara, who presided over the groundbreaking, said the investment reflects the trust and confidence foreign investors have in the government’s investment policy.

“Why do we have so many development projects in Preah Sihanouk province? It is because we have political stability and impressive economic growth. If we didn’t enjoy a stable political situation and robust growth investors wouldn’t come,” he said.

In August last year, Morgan Group began the construction of Morgan Tower, a 210-metre building in the capital that will cost $160 million.

The hundred metres rule is not new. Wooden "temporary" structures were tolerated, anything else is and was illegal. According to the law, that is.
what are 100 meters?
what are you talking about?
the other day on the beach ochitel began to build a new skyscraper 15 meters from the water's edge!
all do not care about the laws!

Frank, first everyone is complaining in dry season that's there's no water because they sold the reservoir to the Chinese. Now they're complaining there's too much water. You just can't please some people.
This was our neighbors wall, now they have a pool, to me that's win-win.

Looks like Aleppo or something, what happened to the place?
