Sam Rainsy, opposition leader, is questioning a high-ranking government official on the issue of gasoline price which still remain high whereas the international price of crude oil has been decreasing.

Sam Rainsy threatens to lead a demonstration to protest this issue if there is no response, or clarification from Keat Chhon, the minister of finance.

Sam Rainsy said: “We will protest directly at the ministry, we plan on bringing motodoup (tuk-tuk drivers), and the people to demonstrate directly in front of the ministry of economy and finance. If the minister does not respect the law, who will respect the law? And this is no ordinary law, it is the constitution, the supreme law of the land. Members of Parliament sent him a question, and he does not even reply to MPs. For ordinary citizens, the minister will look down on them even more, he will step all over them.”

Sam Rainsy made the declaration following a letter he sent to Keat Chhon, the minister of economy and finance, on 12 Jan to ask why the price of gasoline price in Cambodia still remains the same (4,000 riels per liter, $1 per liter) whereas the international price of crude oil has been steadily going down.

How many liter in a gallon?

1 gallon (in the USA) = 3.8 liters.
Therefore, the price "where you are" is $0.65 per liter or 35 % cheaper than in Cambodia. But in Cambodia, most people earn less than $1 per day.

The SRP always want to destroy
Cambodia's environment and avoiding
paying their fair share of taxes,
that is why they are constantly
barking at gas price and
everything else.

There are still a few stupid people here who are being used by Hun Sen/CPP to equalize the genuine concerns of the free will Cambodians. If this not via the internet of self expression; Hun Sun would have used his riot police to beat us or exploit/paid the poor boys of no education background Kmean wat to physically rally against. This is like he uses Cambodians to fight Cambodians for his cause. He never seen such selfish ill-considerated leader like Hun Sen.

You Know why the price of the gasolin in Cambodia is still high while the price at international market went down? This is because
Mee Sam Hieng called Mee Ka-Chrouk, owns Tela Company. Mee Ka-Chrouk will never drop the gas price because she needs money to keep A Hun Sen in power until 2042.
Fuck mee Ka-Chrouk or Mee Sam Hieng or mee Bun Rany!

We don't need to drop the gas
price so that people will polute
our environment. We need to keep
the carbon monoxide at minimum
so that our wildlifes can recover
from extinction and our forest
from being destroy by acid rain.
You got that, Psycho?
