They said nothing about the buildings falling down, which is what everyone is bleating on about like sheep. Sure, they will degrade. Cheers caption obvious.
Those two buildings that collapsed were two out of how many? Buildings under construction that collapse happen in every western country, including the UK and the USA. It is not endemic in Cambodia.
You are just grabbing at straws because you all hate SHV for some odd reason.
Try and have an educated opinion.

Followed by some posts with quotes from engineers about exactly why they will degrade.stewie wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 8:11 amI see the structural engineers and financial gurus are in full retard mode on 440.
Those building will not fall down. They won't rot and they won't be knocked down. The structural integrity isn't compromised because there's no facade on the front! lol
Concrete protects the rebar and neutralizes the rust (go look it up). The only reason concrete and rebar blows out is defects during manufacture, and that can be fixed.
I am well aware of the shit show in SHV. I don't live there or have any ties, and will never return. But the same old tedious replies to the same old misinformed stories is very tiresome.

Nothing shouts 'great investment' than buying a concrete shell with dubious land legal provenance left to rot in tropical, coastal conditions for 5-6 years.
Even more so when in the knowledge that they were commissioned by Chinese mafia to launder dodgy casino cash as quickly as possible, using illiterate day laborers from Kampong Cham to do the work.
Reassuring to know that there were no building code violations because there were no building codes.
Sure some of the Okhnas might be persuaded to take on a few and jazz up as vanity projects or to show some solidarity with the govt, but 95% of them will continue to stand for several more years until the inevitable demolition job begins.

The money is gone. Not much will change for years.
Bodeng is gone and a huge replacement is here.
The best that will happen is a squatting Khmer revolution like something from the Jungle Book.
That would be a vast improvement.
It needs to come to a total collapse to bring prices back down to a competitive level, or tourists will never come back
Legalise weed while making changes or you won't even have man-bun nation..

The empty building story in Sihanoukville started with the expulsion of so called on-line gambling company`s, illegally operated in Cambodia, And bankruptcy of legal company`s, who don`t finish there projects.
That isn't true, lots of these projects were by Chinese for Chinese. I knew a few people that were turned away just because they were khmer. Isn't that a bitch.pedros wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 11:00 amThere are dozens of rotting borey projects around here in ranging degrees of degradation.
This one was 'completed' around 2018 and opened by Hun Sen himself to much fanfare. Occupancy must be <10%, plenty left unfinished and now a breeding ground for rats and drug addicts.
This ambitious project started quickly back around 2019 and what was completed is now basic shelter for homeless vagrants.
While these could be explained away as poor location choices or a failed construction bubble- what in the name of money laundering is this?
A full sized mall complex with cleaners and security guards, but has no shops and never had a customer through the extra large glass doors. It's called SP Mall, has signs from the road offering supermarkets, sushi bars, pizza parlours etc, but has been devoid of any activity for 2+ years.
Recently I've seen a few Chinese in expat owned businesses..restaurants. When we Westerners try to enter a Chinese owned restaurant we are told no. I wish the expat owners would tell the Chinese to f*** off, when they show their gormless faces at the door.

Has anyone ever been told 'no' when trying to enter a Chinese restaurant here? Sounds like a myth.Guest555 wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 7:47 amRecently I've seen a few Chinese in expat owned businesses..restaurants.

Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.
technically yes, but I was with 10 khmers on Ochheuteal at peak Chinese invasion in 2019 and we were refused from several for not being Chinese, the last two restaurants were Khmer and we were allowed in there.Bong Burgundy wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 10:42 amHas anyone ever been told 'no' when trying to enter a Chinese restaurant here?
