SIHANOUKVILLE provincial governor Kuoch Chamroeun said anyone in possession of illegal weapons in the province should hand them over to the authorities or they will be punished to the full extent of the law once caught.
PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): The Covid-19 pandemic brought high-rise building construction in Preah Sihanouk province to a halt when it began, resulting in several business disputes that four real estate companies are now working together to solve, according to provincial governor Kuch Chamroeun.
Phnom Penh spokesman denies it is a facility for China’s military after embassy calls for transparency. It comes after CSIS report says satellite images show three new buildings have gone up and a road is being built.
In southern Cambodia, the city of Sihanoukville, was counting its blessings not all that long ago. Not only was it reaping the benefits of a construction boom as part of the New Silk Road, but it also was a tourism hotspot. But within a short period of time, two crises transformed it into a ghosttown.
