More than 100 vendors at the Diamond Island night market have requested their landlord suspend rent payments for three months, due to a slump in business following last week’s bridge tragedy.

“It’s so quiet – my business has dropped by 80 to 90 percent”
The vendors have submitted petitions asking for the suspension of rent payments, but they plan to continue selling their wares in the hopes that custom will see a resurgence in the future.
“Even though we have not [got] customers, we haven’t stop selling.
“If we stopped it would make the situation quiet forever.
“So, we must try to sell our products – hopefully the project will return to normal,” said Nou Sokunthy, owner of K & T shop, who added her signature to a petition two days ago.

“We hope the companies understand our situation and forgive us.”
Officials at the Overseas Cambodia Investment Corp-managed Diamond Island night market have confirmed that they had received the petition from vendors and sounded optimistic that a resolution could be found.

they only make koh pich for a business for temporary because koh pich is living areas for the rich. once they finish building more bridges, highrises, skyscrapers, etc; it is an attractive location, actually, the river views, the river breeze, etc,... good location for living and doing business; they just have to make exit plan for crisis because crisis can happen anywhere, not just koh pich, you know! the law should require posting of a maximum capacity on every structures, buildings, etc... this way people can see and aware that they should not exceed the maximum capacity of people say in a room, a build, etc, etc..., even on a bridge, etc., you know. it's a matter of well planning and safety code in mind all the time, you know. yes, cambodia can use the education on this! there are more to cambodia and the world, ok. just because a car crashed, a plane misses the landing, a train reck, etc, doesn't mean we all stop using them, the same concept apply to koh pich incidence. please use your brain and be smart by thinking clearly, ok!
same shit never changed in Cambodia thinking.
