Trouble in paradise: Mixed report card for new sheriff in Sihanoukville

By the time a new police chief arrived, crime had run rampant in Sihanoukville for more than a year. Three months in, Post Weekend went to see what, if anything, has changed

Sihanoukville has always had its darker side, but earlier this year, it seemed like things were getting out of hand.

Amid a spiralling outbreak of beatings, stabbings, thefts and shootings – much of it linked to the “Russian mafia” – the blame was laid at the feet of the then provincial police chief, Seang Kosal.

“What does the police chief [Kosal] do?” lambasted Interior Minister Sar Kheng, “He sleeps in the province and does not open his eyes to see [what is going on] in Koh Rong, [where] foreigners are robbed and shot.”

Haven for pedos.

As recent history proves.

No doubt as the pressure in Thai grows more will move there.

Could the in-justice against foreigners be worse than here ... ?

May indeed be a haven for paedos, however it appears the supply is out and about. I went down one street in S'ville last month and there were dozens of very young girls on parade.

Foolish remark! Doubt if you've ever been there. Most of the Brit Pedos are still in the Uk in the Government and there are nary an RC School or Church around.

Most people in Cambodia do not tolerate the Pedos and are reported. I saw an American Pedo School teacher get nabbed and extradited back to America.

Certainly NO Haven!!!
