Cant register a 2nd hand bike in Barangs name?

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.

Cant register a 2nd hand bike in Barangs name?

on fb;
is this true?? what is the reason for such a crazy law?? Are Barangs ONLY to buy new bikes?
Hello, new regulations in Cambodia make it impossible to register a locally bought second hand bike in one"s own name as a foreigner. That means we cant cross borders with such a bike anymore.

I wonder how long before this (like work permits) is applied retroactively.

Second hand imported bikes that have yet to be registered are still possible if you're willing to pay the new plate costs.
