https://cne.wtf/2019/08/01/chinese-busi ... noukville/Preah Sihanouk: On the afternoon of July 31, 2019, authorities cleared the sidewalk in Sangkat No. 3 Sihanoukville.
Some Chinese businessmen had blocked the thoroughfare with unpermitted construction, which caused traffic congestion and the loss of the city’s beauty.
As for the location, the Deputy Governor had confirmed that the Municipality had already made two instructions and recorded the report twice, this being the third and final time, but owners did not act. Following the city administration’s instructions, the area was cleared by force.

SHK Chinese Businesses Watch As Bulldozers Move in
The look on their faces, lol.
Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.
The last time I saw Sihanoukville was around 2005 when there were still cows grazing all over the place and lots of open green space. Today I saw this photo comparison on Facebook of the Lion roundabout now vs. then. I had heard the place had developed a lot, but good lord. What a disaster.

I’ve been there every few months for the last year and each time I can barely recognize it. I just showed the second pic to a Cambodian and she couldn’t believe it.McPhisto wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 8:23 pmThe last time I saw Sihanoukville was around 2005 when there were still cows grazing all over the place and lots of open green space.

I last went two years ago, before they started building The Great Wall.
I was chatting to a Hong Konger yesterday and he told me that several of his friends are talking about relocating to Turdville to escape the clampdown. Kind of weird.

Just makes me glad I went there years ago and wont be revisiting any time soon, fark that.

In my opinion, Cambodians get what they deserve If they won't protest when their own country is at stake. They should be ashamed of their cowardly selves. Hong Kongers are not only taking-on their local government, but the Chinese government too. I have no sympathy for those that just complain all the time without doing anything about it.

My personal feelings are that Khmers are like volcanoes in the way that they bottle everything up while keeping calm and saving face until, BOOM, they can't take no more and sudden, terrifying violence is unleashed.Chneseexpat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 8:25 amIn my opinion, Cambodians get what they deserve If they won't protest when their own country is at stake.

Soon enough, I predict somethiong will happen like a drunken Chinese ploughs down a group of schoolkids and monks, the mob start burning the car, then Chinese businesses and a full scale riot breaks out. This may also be an excuse to bring in more Chinese 'security' to protect their interests.

I actually disagree. They don't deserve the shit. They have had enough shit and are still finding themselves again.pedros wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:16 amMy personal feelings are that Khmers are like volcanoes in the way that they bottle everything up while keeping calm and saving face until, BOOM, they can't take no more and sudden, terrifying violence is unleashed.Chneseexpat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 8:25 amIn my opinion, Cambodians get what they deserve If they won't protest when their own country is at stake.

You know, an individual is formed from the hardship they suffer. So too, a country. Cambodia is moving forward. The youth are exposed to the world with rose coloured spectacles and, well, youthful inexperience. They are also tethered to their elders and tradition (not a bad thing). They dream. They grow. They find. All the mess that exists in the 'regular' development of a human being exists in Cambodia, plus there is the added complexity of a pretty brutal history, a real challenge to find a voice in a time and place where it still takes quite some guts to do it, and people (including western barangs) exploiting and using for their own benefit. Despite all this, Cambodia is really doing its best to develop in a world where no country is getting it right. It's catching up pretty quickly in all sorts of ways, and its youth dares to dream it can be special. Laying this shit about Sihanoukville on them as deserved is pretty brutal. Even the best of you are swayed by money. It's pretty understandable their vision is influenced by the short terms wins of selling property at ridiculous prices without a strategic overview of the larger impact.
Cambodia does not deserve this. The people are bound to fall into learned behaviours... "keep quiet if you want to survive." "take the money while you can."
......
But, as with anyone, back them into a corner far enough and there will be some repercussions.

Yeah, I was of the belief if you protest about any kind of cronyism in Cambodia you get beaten/fired upon/imprisoned or murdered. That they don't protest is not to say they accept it.violet wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:33 amI actually disagree. They don't deserve the shit.

But if your are going to do mass development, you might want to put some thought into basic infrastructure...like storm sewer...
