Three Hurt in Phnom Penh Grenade Blast

Eng Sophea, chief of the municipal police’s serious crimes bureau, declined to comment while investigations were underway.
Asked of possible motives, he replied: “How would I know this unless I am the grenade attacker?”

Three Hurt in Phnom Penh Grenade Blast

A grenade explosion in a residential area of Phnom Penh’s Chamkar Mon district on Tuesday night injured three people and rattled the city, leaving officials searching for a motive. 

Pools of blood and an inch-deep hole could be seen on the road about 30 minutes after the explosion occurred at about 7:40 p.m. on Street 163 in Boeng Keng Kang III  commune. The windows of a pickup truck were blown out in the blast.

    This is utterly stupid. Who would dare to invest in Cambodia?

    Look at Vietnam. They are stable, their students are achieving high scores. Vietnam has a lot of top Chess players as well as many medalists in Academic winning many top prizes and gold medals.

    As the results, Vietnam now has at least 7 huge high-tech factories each with tens of thousand high-paying jobs.

    Last year, 150 thousand Vietnamese high-tech workers produced 32 billion US dollars in high-tech export. Compare that to 700 thousand Cambodian garment workers who produced only 6 billion in export.

    So, each Cambodian garment workers only produced 9,000 US dollars in export while each smartphone Vietnamese high-tech workers produced 27,000 dollars in export. There is no way Cambodia can compete with Vietnam.
