Cleaning up the streets of Phnom Penh

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh: Authorities in Daun Penh, led by Mr. Yas Yuthea, Deputy District Deputy Governor, at 08:30 PM, April 30, 2018 have ordered the police to collect prostitutes, homeless and beggars in the area of Daun Penh in Phnom Penh.
These people, who are making Phnom Penh streets untidy, are rounded up and put in a truck, and then they are sent to the sinister-sounding Department of Social Welfare of Veterans Affairs And Youth Rehabilitation of Phnom Penh where they are "reeducated" before being released. This most recent collection of street people netted 26 people in all; among them, 10 sex workers, motor taxi drivers, sex workers including one transsexual, together with two motorbikes.

There is no jail big enough for all the people who make Phnom Penh look untidy.

Every person why drops plastic bags, plastic bottles and other trash as if they have a personal slave to clean up after them.

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.

There is a real tragedy here. Apart from the meth addict girls, there are those that roam around in seek of finance to survive. There are also those girls from the outer country coming into the cities to raise revenue for their family, be they sick or in debt. (I am talking about the genuine ones, not the B.S. sob stories of girls looking for a meal ticket from a naive foreigner)
End of the day, there is an easily discovered reason why girls are street workers.... be it drug addiction, easy money, or the latter... in desperate need


Myself, I feel a lot of sympathy that girls prostitute themselves to support themselves or family. Throwing them into prison, ooops, sorry, 're-education' is not the answer. Vietnam used to do that and learned it does not work.

I am mindful of a Vietnamese guy said to me maybe more than 10 years ago about survival in Vietnam... "if you do not work, you do not eat, if you do not eat, you die". Cambodia is similar... no social welfare for homeless and poor... just lock em up attitude. Solve the problem, not punish the victims.
Water quenches the thirst, alcohol releases the truth.
