Re: Phnom Penh's tallest buildings.
Having seen Phnom Penh's finest trying to handle a couple of fires near my place in normal houses, I think you could be right,
Are there any plans to enhance the sewerage systems of Phnom Penh to handle all the extra stuff that's going to hit from these places?

They have been removing sand from the Mekong for many years to enhance the flow of sewerage . What more do you want done.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I'm surprised none of the big ones haven't collapsed yet.

Those will be the ones built on the old Boeung Kak Lake during a minor earthquake tremor - echoes of Mexico City ..

Many other cities are unknowingly built on the skin of a rice pudding where the surface is strong but nothing but sludge down below. Kiwi's will remember what happened in Christchurch just recently.

Re: Phnom Penh's tallest buildings.
Don't panic, everything is in wise hands
“Although we have never experienced any earthquake, we try to draft our laws so that high-rise building owners will have to be concerned about avoiding various natural disasters,” he said.
“I ask for all the high building developers to start thinking about this problem because of climate change,” Nhim said.
............
The Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology issued a statement Wednesday saying that Cambodia does not have natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunami.
The statement came out after there are reports about an earthquake in Phnom Penh and Kampong Cham province.
People in buildings around Phnom Penh and in Kampong Cham province claimed they had experienced what they believed to be a mild earthquake.
................
Sources close to the government today predicted earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes would spontaneously erupt all over Cambodia if Rainman ever stepped foot in the kingdom again.
(not a quote but i do remember something like this being reported a few years ago)

Re: Phnom Penh's tallest buildings.
As long as they do not put the same stuff on the outside of the buildings as they did on the grenfell tower, they should be ok.
