UNION activist Rong Chhun in a letter dated Wednesday lobbied Prime Minister Hun Sen to pressure petroleum companies to lower fuel prices to 4,000 riels per litre.
After a period of hikes, local fuel prices have stabilised at around 5,400 riel a litre, but have not decreased even as international crude prices dropped US$36 to around $110 per barrel from a record highs in mid-July.
"The petroleum companies can[not] reject an order from the prime minister," said Rong Chhun, the Cambodian Independent Teachers Association president. He said skyrocketing fuel prices have dealt a major blow to already cash-strapped civil servants.

Asking Ah Quack to lower the fuel prices is like asking the NEC to look over the election fraud. He is not stupid-I am sure he knows the international price on fuel has dropped. Yet, on another hand-he can be that stupid, I think.
The temple kid might do it to avoid people power, or to gain his popularity again after all the allegations of electoral fraud and other irregularities during the election.
I felt so disappointed by Chea Mony didn't care about Democracy.
