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.

The street food corner will be established in the public park, in Commune 2 of Sihanoukville, according to a recent meeting chaired by Khuoch Chamroeun, provincial governor.

The construction of the street food corner will be shared by the provincial Department of Tourism and Department of Land Management, Urban Planning, and Construction.

Chamroeun said it will not only attract more tourists but also provide a place for large groups to go for guaranteed food safety standards.

As planned, the street food corner will feature food stalls, decorations, parking and signage. The standard of each food stall will be assessed properly by the Ministry of Tourism.

Director of the provincial Tourism Department Taing Sochetkrisna said that street food is a category in the ministry’s annual clean city competition.

Nine public toilet blocks are being constructed at strategic locations along the beaches in Sihanoukville as part of making the city more attractive to tourists.

Kheang Phearum, Preah Sihanouk provincial spokesman said yesterday the toilets are being built along O’chheuteal beach, Otres Beach and Chum Teav Mao Beach.

“With Preah Sihanouk province being one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations, the building of the public toilets will be an added advantage. Furthermore, the use of these public toilets will be free-of-charge,” he added.

He said the public toilet facilities will be ready before Khmer New Year, that is in April, one of the longest holidays in Cambodia.

Four Companies Join Forces to Redevelop Sihanoukville City into a Fintech Hub and Elite Club Attracting International Talent Followint Multipurpose SEZ Master Plan Announced
19/11/21 11:32

Phnom Penh (FN), Nov. 18 – Continent Assets Management Co., Ltd, PLMP Venture Capital Co., Ltd, PropNex Cambodia Co., Ltd and Ly Ly Kampong Seila Special Economic Zone Co., Ltd signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on 17 November 2021, to join strategic cooperation in designing new investment projects in Sihanoukville City under the honorable presences of Governor Kuoch Chamroeun and Master Plan Project Director Chea Kok Hong, following the government multipurpose SEZ masterplan announcement last month.

Twenty years ago, Sihanoukville City was a sleepy fishing village, similar to the origins of Shenzhen. The real estate market took off from about 2015, which centres around casino, hotel and condominium complexes development. As a result, the current market's real estate stock has risen from about 200 projects in 2015 to about 1,580 in 2021. However, the COVID19 pandemic had impacted real estate industry affecting 75% of projects and slowdown in development. Also, the Cambodia government issued strong mandate last year to ban of online gaming that resulted in massive cleanup to rebuilding a cohesive and safe community for the new economic initiatives, such as Fintech Hub, representing multibillion of investment opportunities for international investment.

Thus, this MOU aims to launch the first Sihanoukville re-development project model and platform to strengthen, diversify, and bring in new business income models alongside the government-led Sihanoukville master plan vision. The focus will be on restructuring the under-developed assets, which will create new markets to attract international talents and entrepreneurship clusters driven by financial and technology innovators encouraging by top educational facilities, world class lifestyle facilities, and vocational training institutes to develop into a vibrant e-community, which is also a provision to attract retirement village development, high yield property investment and luxurious service project investment.

Since the Sihanoukville city's location is the strategic corner of the Asia-Pacific region with deep sea port supporting sez developments and new economic thrust to support its growth, the group is expected to make the best out of this strategic location and timing to rebrand the city as the new important landmark that can live up with the upcoming demand of e-community in this digital age evolution.

By seeing momentum in big-scale infrastructure projects into the city year over year with the right market conditions and strong support from the government for productive services and innovative products to scale, a fintech sandbox community and the elite club and innovative lifestyle services will formulate new project development modalities and at the same time, revitalize a good development image of the Sihanoukville City redevelopment master plan.
