In the recent months, because of the price of gasoline keeps on increasing, other goods on the market also saw a price increase, and the price keeps going up with no end in sight. Rong Chhun, President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), issued a statement on 19 March 2008, calling on the government to take measure to control the price increase of goods in Cambodia. In his statement, Rong Chhun raised the fact that the gasoline price has now increased to 4,900 riels (~$1.22) per liter. Rong Chhun said in his statement also that the price increase of goods will create unrest and disturbance in the society and the population will lose their peace of mind, this is the reason why the government should resolve this issue urgently. Up until now, no government official has yet to reply on Rong Chhun’s call. According to RFA, the price of 1 liter of gasoline in Washington DC is only $0.86, i.e. 3,435 riels only.

The government shouldn't interfered with the business sector, but what they can do is to import more good in order to increase competitions and lower the price of goods as a consequence.

RFA must get real to compare the price of gasoline in USA to Cambodia. Every nation knows that USA fuel reserve is ample, even if the untapped resource in Alaska can sustain USA for decades to come.
Even if Cambodia starts to tapping thier resource from the current sattion of shore, still can't see that the price of gasoline will definitely fall lower than the current stock exchange price [104US$/barrel of crude oil]
The SRP is so quiet on the issue of inflation that some think it has already sided with the ruling party.

Either that or they are getting tired of making fool of themselves in public.
