Sangkat 1 are thieving pricks!

This is a free speech zone where you can discuss and debate everything Cambodia related whether you're a dyed in the wool leftist, a liberal or somewhere to right of Attila the Hun. This is also where you get to read the news the local media suppresses.

Sangkat 1 are thieving pricks!

Honestly! $200 to generate a piece of paper with some stamps on it that could perhaps take the laziest public servant in the world 30 minutes to generate?!?!

What is with Cambodia's most corrupt Sangkat - the one that we riverside dwellers are beholden to?

They've already pinched me $450 for the world's quickest and grottiest civil wedding that was over and done with in ten minutes flat! Even the bloke who I had to not pay a bribe to at the MFA sucked air through his teeth at that!

The scum tried to charge us $250 for the bit of paper that the bloke at the MFA did for about half that price (which I think still may have included a bit of tea money if I were a cynical bloke)

Is there any way around the tyranny of the sangkat and the world's most appallingly highly priced bureaucracy? This is a fucking piss take and they aren't getting the money.

It's a good thing that there isn't a Kao-San Road in PP that could replicate low-level government papers at better prices, or I might be tempted into doing wrong...

I know Dengchao. Your other choices are
a) Beat the crap out of them or burn down their houses. Tempting but not worth it in the long run.
b) Report them to the anti-corruption people.....

The rents and other things paid along the riverfront create the highest paid jobs to get.
