In order to prevent a disorderly price increase of merchandises, Kep Chultema, the governor of Phnom Penh, ordered the city district and commune authorities, and in particular, the committee in each market, to broadcast a new measure whereby the merchants in all shops and stalls in the markets must clearly post the price of their merchandise. Shops and stalls which do not abide by this order will be shut down immediately. Kep Chuktema also ordered the economic police to visit each market and review any merchandise that sustain drastic change, the police must take immediate measure to deal with dishonest merchants who stock goods to sell at a higher price. Those who instigate the rising price of rice and other goods will be arrested and dealt with by the law.
