In order to recover the lost splendor of Phnom Penh, the government brings its support to the mammoth South-Korean “city” project located north of Phnom Penh. Vice-prime minister Sok An made this declaration yesterday during the groundbreaking inauguration of the Camko City construction site.
The groundbreaking for the construction site of the ultra-modern South-Korean city project, christened Camko City, located north of Phnom Penh, took place yesterday. $2 billion will be invested to build, from now until 2018, villas, skyscrapers, hospital, one university and several shopping centers. Sok An declared: “In the 60s, Phnom Penh was beautiful like a jade. But, after the war, it is impossible to compare Phnom Penh with other cities in the region. That is why, today, the government encourages the Camko City project which will embellish the city anew.” “I would like to live here, but I don’t know if I would have enough money,” Kep Ravy, a hardware store manager commented during the inauguration. An optimistic official from the Ministry of Economy believes that Camko City will be accessible to one third of the population of the capital, because most of them own lands in the provinces which they can sell to buy an apartment here.

Wow, the model looks great with
four lanes roads and the whole
nine yards. I can't wait until
it's done. I am sure it will go
well. Khmer people is just
excellent in working with their
hand... . This will be a great
opportunity to lean a lot of new
stuffs.
Good luck and have a happy
Construction work!
Try to make reader angry? hope it work for you, so Hun Xen or the Viwet may give you an apertment at Camko or we will send you to Hochikmoch.
Sell land to buy apartment? ahahah!
Oh my God! Sell land to apartment!
Here is my suggestion to all you for trying to live in apartment! Please don't live in apartment! Period! Apartments are for poor people with low income and it is more like a prison to be exact! There is no privacy when you live in apartment! What about the parking space for your cars! How many bedrooms is it?
I have lived in all kinds of places in my life and I found out that I enjoy living in a Townhouse because the bedrooms, den, living room, kitchen, the backyard are way bigger! Of course the privacy too! If I have enough money I will turn my Townhouse into a castle! Ahahhah! It is all depend on the zoning law too!
If you have land please build yourself a nice Townhouse, mansion, or a simple house with plenty of spaces! Don't sell your land for stupid tiny apartment!
Laugh it up!!! Wait until you are
unemployed for 20 years+. I bet
you will sell everything too.
To 1:48AM!
Did you say unemploy for 20years+?
Didn't your Samdech HUN SEN Vietcong slave create any kind of job for you? No? No! You poor thing! Now come here and give me a hug! I tell you that you had been kissing the wrong ass! Now it is time for you to go kiss the Vietcong ass for some jobs but you know what! The Vietcong won't give you any job either and what are you going to do? If million and million of Cambodian can survive without a job and why can you! ahahhahhaha
I was talking about you, 1:48.
If you were umemployed for 20
years, I am sure you will sell
your cars, PC, TV, home, ..., and
you will be living on the street
and beg with the rest of beggars
in Long Beach, Dude.
well..it is out of topic dude...
just keep up with the damn camko plan! they are going to suck all the damn money and properties cambodian people have and get the hell out of the country...
to be honest,it'll probably be a good investment for tourist and guests nationwide to enjoy the shopping,schools,& etc.But does any of the profit helps for the people in needs out in Cambodia? the unfortunate who will probably work hard professionally in theses buisness and get a low pay?? think about the people there...i wonder if the Koreans out there keeping more of the revenues than the city itself...think about that
