It is understandable that tuktuk drivers do not want to risk losing their vehicles by taking passengers during the lockdown.

Curfew Fines and Tuktuk Confiscated in Phnom Penh

Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: According to the police officer stationed at the roundabout at the Chroy Changvar Bridge, a Chinese man and a Cambodian man, a tuk-tuk driver, were arrested for violating the lockdown without a permit.

According to the source, after detaining the Chinese man, the police fined him according to the decision of Phnom Penh Capital Hall and allowed the Chinese man to return to his old place on foot. The police confiscated the evidence for transporting the Chinese man (the tuktuk) and temporarily stored it at the Chroy Changva District Police Inspectorate.

It should be noted that the confiscation of this exhibit was due to the fact that the person concerned (tuktuk driver) did not have the money to pay the fine on the spot, and the authorities gave him 30 days to pay according to the schedule.

PP Governor: Police use of whips to enforce lockdown is like “parents disciplining their children”

Phnom Penh governor Khuong Sreng has said that the use of whips or canes by police to enforce the lockdown on citizens who refuse to stay in their homes is warranted and is like “parents disciplining their children”.

His reaction came after photos were widely distributed showing members of the Phnom Penh police being issued with and carrying what appear to be thin rattan or bamboo whips or canes.

The Governor also added that if people still do not listen to the authorities, they will be arrested immediately and processed according to the special Lockdown procedures and fined or imprisoned according to the law.

In addition, Colonel San Sok Seiha, spokesman for the Phnom Penh Municipal Commission, said that from now on authorities will use ‘Hot Dharma’ or “tough education” for people in the Red Zones who violate the lockdown prohibitions.

According to Colonel San Sok Seiha, “Most importantly, the people living in the red and vulnerable areas, which has spread COVID…. We must use hot dharma to help prevent infection…. if he continues to disobey government prohibitions and laws.”

He outlined police strategy as thus: First, police will give the offender a blow with a cane to move them on. For the second offence, a fine will be levied and third time offenders will be sent to court.

He added, for areas that are not at high risk, the authorities will always be understanding and will give education, but still follow the administrative measures of the government, if a citizen continues to violate the ban and the law.

Sar Kheng has already made a statement telling them to quit this behavior.

Its a silly and inaccurate article. They are clearly not whips they are using. Whips have a flexible extension that forms a lash in a whipping action, hence whip.
The police in this case are using canes, which are, in effect, the same type of weapon as truncheon used by security guards. It is ridiculous to suggest that Whipping is going on in the streets of Phnom Penh. Caning could be accused, but this also is an exaggeration, as a caning would indicate the person being caned strapped down with bare buttocks, as in the caning punishment in Singapore.
No, this is beating at best, striking with a stick would be the most accurate description. But, of course, that doesn't sell copies of the Khmer Times, does it?

They are not printing any copies at the moment, let alone selling any, it's online only.

Something about a viral outbreak...

Or we can call it what it actually is assault and police brutality. This is ironic because you can't beat a dog that is trying to bite you here with a stick, but it's perfectly acceptable for police to hit you with a stick.

It seems to me that this attitude change in policing relates to the time of day. Before midday you can pretty much roam around in your local area. Passed 4pm there appears to be a bigger presence and the closer you get to curfew, the more they are on your case.

Also, avoid any crowds. I got close to a group of about 10 Khmers who were walking across Botum Pagoda Park at 11am on Tuesday. That small group together made the cops sitting at the junction get off the asses and tell them all to go home, including me. I said I was exercising and the cop said "exercise at home". I am not in a red zone so this is bullshit, but definitely not worth arguing about.

Go out early, on your own and keep away from any crowds that you see, and you'll be fine (so far).

I was surprised to see the post office open yesterday. Seeing as you're only meant to go out to buy food, I'd assumed it would be closed.

I'll say it again,same as what I saw in australia last year ,all the small shops were forced to close with only the big corporations, eg supermarket allowed to operate, read into this what you like but why are you safer in an aircond supermarket than an open market.
