After the Phnom Penh municipality issued a directive for all vehicle owners to stop using their old license plates and change them to a new license place, the traffic police started stopping vehicles bearing the old license place. The police action met with angry reactions from vehicle owners. The public strongly criticized the police action by saying that the municipality issued the directive not even two weeks yet, and now it ordered the arrest of all vehicles bearing the black and white license plates already. The vehicle owners said that the black and white license plates are not illegal, but if the municipality orders them to acquire new license plates, it should make them pay less, after all, they paid for the black and white license plates once already. Keo Sarin, the director of the land transportation department of the Ministry of Public Works, said that the old license plates are not illegal, and they are still valid for use. Ung Chun Huor, the deputy director of the land transportation department, said that the old license plates identify all vehicles and they were issued by the government for the public to use. For now, it is not illegal to use them, and the law does not force anyone to change their old license plates for new ones, the change is made on a voluntary basis.

the current government leaders are crazy and uneducated. They do what they think but they don't know well the poor's difficulties. They are exploiting the poor's blood for supporting their families, relatives and nepotism. I strong do not support new directive to replace new number plate. At the time, traffic police take this opportunity to pocket money from innocent people. That is the strategy to pocket money. Hun Sen's government is crazy!!!!!!!

I remember that one time I made a plate before one month changing the new ones. I was wondering the govn't has decision to change and they still make the old until they issue the new. How crazy the HUN SEN govn't act. Their brain are too crazy to do things.Even it doesn't badly affect the rich (Top govn't officials) people because most of them used the State transportation. But it affects ordinary and poor people like us.

They soooooooo crazy....
