I believe the crime rate is much lower than, for instance, in the U. S. There is a lot of petty crime, small-time robberies, etc. Of course, you read about rape, killings, robberies at gun-point, etc. But if I compare these with the news stories in my county in the U. S., which only has a population of about 650,000 and where there are shootings on an almost daily basis, I don't think Cambodia is bad or that there is a spike in crimes. Read Koh Santhepeap or the police blotter of the PP Post to get a picture what's going on. Don't forget, newspapers sell better if they have gruesome stories to report.KJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869408230216868495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-51732034694505257632009-10-24T00:47:43.689-07:002009-10-24T00:47:43.689-07:00forgot to include the qustion whether prices in sh...forgot to include the qustion whether prices in shv and other provinces have fallen as much as in pp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-68234087147444031232009-10-24T00:46:10.111-07:002009-10-24T00:46:10.111-07:00How is the flooding problem in phnom penh?

If you have a hard title you are expected to develop the land. If not you will assessed a penalty by the Land Management office. This was implemented in 2007. Regardless of how you may have held the land, a minimum of a 3-year penalty will be levied. So this is not a good prospect for erstwhile speculators who are now sitting on land.<br /><br />11:16<br />Your comment is ludicrous at best if not outright silly so I won't bother with removing it, which I normally would have done as you didn't contribute anything in terms of discussion or debate. If you don't have anything to say don't write a comment.
