Japan Donates 15 Garbage Trucks to Cambodia

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 donation is aimed to improve the collection of solid waste and the transport to solid waste treatment facilities.


Translation: "Get your shit together."

I can't help feeling it is a bit pathetic for Cambodia to be accepting something as basic as garbage trucks when the CPP spends $40 million on fancy new party headquarters.

They are also very small for garbage trucks.

This is not the first time that Japan has been giving away these things, they gave another 10 in December 2021. Maybe they are trying to tell us something!

So, I wonder what prompted this...Did a Japanese official visit and say, "They need more waste removal capabilities?"

Yes Singapore. Sterile and soulless. I would take the PP of 20 years ago (garbage and all) over Singapore any day. I suspect many would agree.
