Sihanoukville is a Mess; Authorities React

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.

What do you think? A prime commercial business park, or a fully fitted-out detention center?

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On the morning of 19 September 2022, while chairing a meeting on anti-trafficking measures, Samdech Krala Hom Sar Kheng, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, noted that "The Royal Government’s spending of US$200M to build infrastructure in the city of Sihanoukville, and approximately $2B in the expressway to improve National Road No. 4, was not to create a haven for illegal gambling, but was only to attract the right investments, and the right sort of tourists to generate income for the whole nation, not just Sihanoukville."

The Deputy Prime Minister ordered police officers to pay attention in achieving four priority goals:
1) To save victims of human trafficking in time;
2) Strive to hunt down and severely punish without exception ringleaders and those involved in human trafficking;
3) inspect and collect evidence to close crime sites and illegal locations;
4) expand investigations to locate money laundering and other criminal activities.

Or else the buildings will be demolished to make way for the Wisneyworld Fun Park and the next wave of Chinese visitors. :wave:

Yes, rather ironic that these fugly buildings were set up behind one of the best beaches in the area yet the 'slave workers' inside were not allowed to play outside and enjoy the beach. :evil:

Those are the ones leaving through the front door, but the back door is always a little bit open and some will always be coming through it.

I think they're coming by sea now. Or, were.

The next arrivals have been delayed while they take swimming lessons prior to departure.
