Japanese people cleaning up the streets!
Japanese people cleaning up the streets!
This evening I came across a group of Japanese people wearing a white bandana with the Japan logo, cleaning up the streets with their bare hands and throwing the trash in some plastic bags!
I hope they make the people shy here and make them realize they have to clean up their city themselves!
I don't have any better pictures but at least you can get an impression from what I saw this evening:

It's not the first time. It didn't work then and it won't work now.

This is what we would need here nothing else, Everyday we are breathing so much fine dust just because they don't want to spend on equipment!! But this machine would earn itself back very fast!! Streets will look super clean and people come to buy the properties again..
even sucks up fine dust and really cleans these horrible nasty streets here with anti bac-water!!

The big red "Khmer Beverages" sweeper trucks, two of them in convoy, were doing a fine job of cleaning up street 130 near Sharkey bar yesterday morning. They might be back in a few years time.

What a pleasant surprise to see these red trucks! and hats off for the companies who are paying for it! the only sad thing is they are not from the government, such a shame that they don't want to spend a dollar to clean up the country.
Like they always do, just let it be.. and let it be so worse and horrible until some private people or helpers from Japan will pay for it...
That is their strategy, like there are no ambulances, no firetrucks... all donated by China and Japan because the situation was out of hand already..

Yes, the sweeper trucks do such a fine job...especially when they dump a full load into the riverside cistern that the Japanese spent years installing. I am sure the trash does quite well in the turbines and later flowing into the river.

Phnom Penh has a new mayor. City hall just began maintenance on Sisowath and started making rounds to clear nearby sidewalks from obstacles. What makes you think it's privately funded, you're just guessing aren't you?ClubBar wrote:What a pleasant surprise to see these red trucks! and hats off for the companies who are paying for it! the only sad thing is they are not from the government, such a shame that they don't want to spend a dollar to clean up the country.

These large red trucks were indeed privately funded, by Khmer Beverages, as a marketing stunt. They're very low quality, Chinese made trucks, and are certainly not a long term solution.Alexandra wrote:Phnom Penh has a new mayor.

I don't want to bash the red trucks because it is really a great effort, but from a professional point of view they don't work so efficient because they just brush and spray water. You can compare it when there is rain.. with rain no fine dust.. but after the roads dried up again, it is worse than before. We need professional equipment here
If they think the MUT Road Sweeper Trucks are too expensive, which they are not because they will earn themselves back very fast..
than they could also go for this solution:

There is absolutely no excuse not to buy a few of those small trucks!! Some of you are probably thinking why not let people sweep the streets, Well because people with a broom can't remove fine dust! The streets are full with fine dust! I am absolutely no green activist but this fine dust is freaking killing us including all business because people simply don't want to walk around in that dust which goes into your bloodstream like little razor blades
This little fellow here can remove fine dust from the streets this model is equipped with the unique and patented SAIGA Particle system which has been tested and approved by TÜV Germany.
Have you guys seen the road from Airport to town? or in Siem Reap to Angkor, all those tourists breathing more fine dust then they were ever exposed to in their whole life. Such a shame really and a missed chance!

Did they also pay for gasoline and maintenance, and tell the City Hall minions to start this now? I interpreted "it" as the move to clean up a bit, not multiple cars, but fair enough.Miguelito wrote:These large red trucks were indeed privately funded, by Khmer Beverages, as a marketing stunt.

I'm saying City Hall follows direct orders given by the new head honcho.

Japan must be the cleanest place on earth. The people are taught to take ownership as children and they do not have janitors at schools. Kids wouldn't be such pigs in the west if that kind of discipline was applied there. As for Cambodia, I remember a discussion on FB about trying to teach some disciplines here, including cleaning the classroom, to which someone replied that the kids have such limited time to go to class to actually learn something that its entirely stupid to waste their time trying to teach order, cleanliness, hygiene and pride of ownership.
I have long argued that learning starts with learning how to learn, and that starts with learning some disciplines like structure and order and respect. A clean environment helps a lot.
I wonder what the place was like 50-100 years ago, did people take more care to clean, sweep, pile up and dispose of rubble and such, or has it always been so ignored? Amazing.
