I noticed yesterday while driving by that the market on MTT near Mondial center (ផ្សារ ឃ្លាំងរំសេវ /Rumsiyu market/gunpowder storage market) is being torn down. Any news about this? Mondial was apparently sold quite a while, but the adjacent market is news to me. I'm assuming the government owned the market, so... Who got the money, what is it slated to become?

I'm kinda curious as it was most likely state land and of course, everything is often hush-hush when it comes to these sort of deals between the government and bigwigs, be they local or foreign. Any ideas (Khmer news?) of what will becomes of that whole area? It's huge so would be of interest if it ever pops in the local news.

To be fair to everyone in the hierarchy here they probably hold a "chook" raffle with each Carefully Prepared Person holding only one ticket. The winner gets the latest govt public/govt private/heritage listed / land available.

There have been disputes at this market for years, it's not government owned - it's private. I believe it was owned by the same guy who owns Mondial Center.

Interesting. Apparently he had sold out Mondial, so perhaps just let the leases run on the market and now tear down beginning. Do you happen to know the history behind it? The market literally means "gunpowder warehouse", which suggest it used to be a sort of military warehouse perhaps? Too far from the palace to be very old though.
