Royal Decrees approve three Cambodian municipalities to turn into provinces

Pailin, Sihanoukville and Kep municipalities have been re-designated as Cambodia's newest provinces, English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodia Daily on Thursday quoted recent Royal Decrees as saying.

Cambodia now has 23 provinces in all with one municipality, namely Phnom Penh, it said.

Earlier reports in local media said that the re-designation aimed at facilitating the forthcoming Commune Councils Election this year, or the local poll of the kingdom, to elect village and commune heads.

With the title of province, the people in these three areas can enjoy wider political participation, said local media.

The election will start on May 17.

More power to his cronies. This is Sihanouk style of breaking up the provincial territory.

Thanks. Former residence of Battambang province and current residence of Los Angeles, California.

Cambodia is getting smaller in size but number of provinces are increaced. In the near future, places like Khan 7 Makara, Svay Pak, Tuol Krasaing, O'Yada, Phnom Den, or Kantouy Neak can become provinces

Increase number of provinces to increase number of administrators who are not serving people but coming corrupt clowns or suckers.

Cambodia is such a small country already and why the fuck dividing it any more?

AH HUN SEN officials have nothing better to do except to divide Cambodia to create their own Kingdom!

It looks good organizing, but it is nothing new to convert from former municipalities to new provinces. The best organizing to be more effectively and efficiency governance is to be able to properly govern and manage the former municipalities for more developing in order to reply and implement the government policy of poverty reduction.
