geovalin Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Residents and civil society organisations in Sihanoukville are complaining of the foul odour produced by piles of rubbish after workers at the city’s only waste collection company quit their jobs en masse. Lim Lina, a resident from commune I, urged authorities to address the issue in a timely manner. “People who live here don’t know what to do. We can only share information about it on social media, hoping they will come to collect rubbish once they see it,” he said. Cambodian National Research Organisation (CNRO) director Sok Sokhom told The Post on Tuesday that piles of rubbish were strewn throughout the city, giving off an unpleasant smell and leaving the environment and the city’s image in ruins. “The issue of wastewater flowing into the sea has been solved, but waste management remains a major concern. I urge all relevant authorities to address the issue,” he said. read more https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/rubbish-piles-sihanoukville-workers-quit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotman Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 and this is the place that some posters on TV say is a much better alternative for expats than Thailand? I don't think so. maybe in 50 years, but not yet a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I don't know why anyone would vacation in S'ville. Water and electricity shortages daily. Streets piled with garbage and untreated waste, even worse than a few years ago due to the infrastructure abuse by the Chinese invaders. Rampant price gouging by hotels and bars, even some places only accepting Chinese customers. Not to mention the light and noise pollution of the casinos, which also tend to be the source of many crimes that sometimes spill out into the streets. I think the Cambodian authorities will regret this giveaway of sovereignty. However, the dark genie is out of the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
