The Phnom Penh municipality plans to close motorcycle repair shops and motorcycle washing shops set up along roadsides in Phnom Penh, because these shops destroy public order, cause traffic jam, plug sewers, and create a lot of noise to the neighborhood. The Koh Santepheap newspaper reported that the plan to close all these activities was concocted during a meeting at the Phnom Penh city hall, presided by Chreang Sophan, the deputy governor of the city of Phnom Penh. During the meeting, the roadside shop owners were accused of destroying public orders as described above. An official from the city hall indicated that currently, in the city of Phnom Penh, there are thousands of such motorcycle repair and washing shops, and that most of these shops are set up along roadsides causing daily traffic jams. These shops do not have the city authorization to operate. The city will set up a committee to review and teach the shop owners, if they still persist in their activities after one or two summons, the shop will be closed down.

PP Governor should designate some places for this kind of business in light industrial area instead of allow them to work in residential areas to protect public health. I support for the move because of the interest of the public health.

Agreed! and I think somewhere near
Phnom Penh International Airport
is highly appropriate because that
is where all the noises and
pollutions are, hehehe.

Come on, guys, have you ever
worked on motocycle engines before?
The noise pollution is unbearable
sometime, not to mention the oil
spill and mess it create in the
area. Try to do that where you
live everyday, and I bet they will
kick your asses out of your
community too.

"committee to review and teach the shop owners"

This committee is another opportunity for the CPP to earn more dollars.

Yes, but it is better to teach them
somewhere near the airport, hehehe.

Come to think of it, it is not a
simple problem. If we moved the
shop too far from the city, then
people have a hard time getting
their bike repaired ... .
Damn, let's keep open mind about
all this.

Agree with Municipality plan to remove those shops to ease traffic and make City clean.
But Municipality must also have plan to facilitate traffic in other areas too, like the streets around the Psar Tmey, around olympic Market, the areas next to the big hotel Paradise..... and elsewhere in PPenh.
There should be a clear policy concerning the market: Hygiene, order and safety.
What we see at any market in the City and in the whole Cambodia is: Lack of Hygiene, lack of order and of Safety. Al this can be changed.

I agree with you. You can see that all the roadsides in PPenh are used by the shop-owner to display their goods. The roadsides are public places for pedestrans. i know the shop-owners pay money everyday to the local authority. The Governor should consider this matter.

Hey, 10:42, are you trying to turn
our Psa Tmey into a European shop
or something? FYI, we don't like
frozen food here. We only eat
fresh catches. There is nothing
wrong with the place that smell
like fresh fishes, dude.
