Vietnam irritated about subsidizing gazoline in Cambodia

Border filling stations asked to check oil smuggling

VietNamNet Bridge – Filling stations in Tay Ninh Province bordering Cambodia have been told to stop selling petrol in bulk to buyers in an effort to prevent oil products from flowing into the neighboring country where petrol is priced higher, a local official said.

Do Thanh Hoa, director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, told the Daily his department had just required all petrol stations in the province not to sell petrol to the buyers who use cans or barrels to contain the fuel.

"The order is already given to all 285 gas stations in the province as more people are increasingly involved in smuggling petrol from the province to Cambodia in recent months," Hoa told the Daily on Tuesday. He explained that at the time being, the petrol price in Cambodia is some US$1.2 per liter while the price in the province is much cheaper, at less than VND15,000, or some 90 US cents.

Many motorbike riders have been stealthily transporting petrol in plastic cans to Cambodia to earn a wide margin, he said.

"Early this year, we limited the volume of petrol sold to all stations in the border zone to some 150,000 liters each per month to check the illicit trade. Since then, many smugglers have gone further inland to buy the gas with large amount in cans and barrels," Hoa said.

To put a choke on the illegal gas transport across the border, gas stations along the border have been asked to sell a maximum 50 liters of petrol for each buyer at one time.

According to Hoa, the department last week closed a gas station in the province for violating the order.

Hoa estimated that oil smuggling has fallen by some 30% compared to the high time in March.

In the first six months of the year, the province's market monitoring agencies confiscated some 75,000 liters of petrol found being illegally trafficked to Cambodia.

The Market Monitoring Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade said that petrol smuggling in the Mekong Delta tended to increase lately, with some 15,000 liters of petrol smuggled to Cambodia per day.

Well, at least Vietnam is not the one who called the Khmer people in Issan province "Chinese Thai" just to steal the temple and land from them.

PS: Oh, and if you should ever need affordable trees or lands, hesitate not to let us know about it. We got plenty of that here.

of course, that's what can happen because vietnam is so greedy and wanted to have administration of khmer krom under their gov't. so, they have to take care of all the problem poses with large population of indigenous khmer krom people because it is viet gov't responsibility to take care of the area they control. if they can't handle khmer krom, then return it to cambodia. you know, a big responsibility comes with their greed because they want the right to administer khmer krom. sorry, khmer krom are khmers; and just because political boundary separated them from their motherland cambodia, doesn't mean they have to yield to vietnam gov't. it is like trying to contain the ocean, tough enough. it is called karma, youn! youn gov't in hanio has the responsibility to take care of all khmer krom problems; it's just the facts of life, isn't it for stealing from cambodia. god bless khmer people.

No way, 5:21, if Vietnam gives 1 cm of land to Cambodia the real Khmer-Yuon will run the leader out of office just like they did in Thailand for allowing Cambodia to list the Khmer-Issan's temple.
