Recommended Posts

Prime Minister Hun Sen launched the Cyclo Foundation which will receive $440,000 per year to support cyclo drivers, who number only about 300 in Phnom Penh. A cyclo is a three-wheeled pedal-driven vehicle, typical to Cambodia, that was popular in the past; but now most locals prefer motorized vehicles.

 

Speaking at the meeting with Phnom Penh cyclo drivers, the premier introduced the organization of which he is honorary president and Phnom Penh’s mayor (governor), Khoung Sreng, is president. It is estimated that the organization will need around $300,000 per year for its work.

 

He will support it with $240,000, other donators will contribute $200,000 and the mayor will fund $10,000. To date, Mr Hun Sen has given $145,000, while $50,000 came from government members and other donators.
