Cambodia’s opposition leader has expressed concerns over record gas prices in Cambodia, which costs over one US dollar a litre, despite falling oil costs in other countries.
Last week, Sam Rainsy has threatened to lead a demonstration against the government should the prices remain high. He says that the gas price in Cambodia is higher than Thailand and Vietnam.
On Monday, the gasoline price fell from 4,200 riels (approx. $1 dollar) to 3,800 riels per litre. “The price dip is still not good enough for civil servants that receive low salaries”, Rainsy added.
Cambodia has the following major gas companies in the country, they are: Caltex, Total, Tella, and Sokimex. Among them, gasoline at Sokimex Company is the cheapest- it is priced at 3,600 riels.

Good move.

Alright, but just remember that you
are pro-poluter, and don't come
crying to us about toxants in the
food, fish, or rivers ...., not
to mention wiping out our forestry
with acid rain.
Who is currently in power right now? Who is currently cutting down our forest right now? How is currently getting punishment for these crimes right now?
Answers is Cambodia's problem, get rid of those and Cambodia will come up faster.
4:42 AM, Your reasoning is wacko. How can cheaper price of gasoline causes pollution when the average income of Cambodian population is less than $300 per annual? How much can the country compete economically when your gasoline price is 30 percent higher than your neighbors? Cambodia is not there just for its existence for a sake of the suffering country. Cambodia is there to compete and strive for its existence as a successful country. Give me break and give me a better reason or reasons besides your wacko pollution claimed to support this poor ruling CPP/HUN SEN government.
Hun Sen is a greatest obstacle for Cambodia to grow. Hun Sen is a least educated and the most brutal Evil/Beast Khmer Rouge ever lives.
Post6:32, lower gas price promote
more usage of gas and oil that
will end up being in our water
supply and air; which in turn,
produce acid rain that will
destroy our forest.... Got the
idea?
And your income per capita for
cambodia is not correct. Go here,
if you dare to learn the truth:

Post5:47, it is better to cut
the tree and sell it than to let
it be destroyed by acid rain.
Does that make sense?
What are you talkig about idiot 6:04PM? How many trees that were destroyed by acid rain in Cambodia?
WE need trees to protect from flooding. If you cut all the trees there we go a great disaster: flood and mudslide soon come. Thousand and thousand people and the whole town/village were buried in the giant mud in Phillippines and in Indonesia.
Do you want the whole country like Vietnam and Cambodia be buried in the mud and wash away by the water?
You are the most stupidest evil animal, monster on earth. Damn you why don't you just kill yourself before you advocate to kill those million innocence in those countries? No power nation can protect from this mother nature disaster, no body. If we can prevent better than say sorry.
Come here I kick your stupid head so you won't be too stupid.
