Q: why people cover their nose and face?A: "well! because Phnom Penh makes me feel i need it evey time i go out door. I inhale large amount of flying dust everyday. Without mark, I feel very hard to breath! there is no clean air. They do not care about cleaning the street".
Q: Why do you think Phnom Penh municipality don't care about washing the street? is it because they do not have the washing truck or machine?A: "NO. I think they don't want to wash the road because if the street are cleaned it would make it too slippery for traveller to walk or ride motobike. This would cause fruther traffick accidents!". Laugh.... laugh....
Q: Anything more you wanna add?A: "Err well, one more thing is that: If Phnom Penh municipality wash the raod, they will have to spray lot of water. This can cause the dirt and the soil to flow into the drainage system that would further cause flood on the street...(laugh). They fear that people would blame them for making the street flood!. That is why they don't care about washing the street. I thnik they wanna see flying dust, becuase for them it is a kind of a beautiful looking thing. They might want keep the dirt so Phnom Penh would look like Europe under fog when the wind blow!"
Q: what do you think truely about dust in Phnom Penh?A: "God! very bad. I feel somebody blow dirt on me when i take a ride. I have to use mark to protect myslef, otherwise my lung would be riuned!"
Q: do you think Phnom Penh is clean city, because authority say they make new garden?A: "Oh that is only a few place. you can still see trash on the garden. BUT most place is dirty and dusty. No place to relax or walk. I can't imagine a city witout a place to walk!"
Q: but the road is mostly paved?A: "So what? Most roads have never been washed clean at all! only a few people brush it and you can see dust is flying into the nose of travellers. Why not wash and clean the road at night?. Such a lazy city!".
Q: And the municipality say Phnom Penh is beautiful?A: "I would say Phnom Penh is the disorganised city, the only city where strrets have no sidewalk or with dirty sidewalk, full of gargage, digging, soil in the side of the street, flying dust, hot and not inviting, not attractive, boring place, very dark at night. In brief i would say it is just like a country side town!".
Q: why you are so negative about this? There are more clearn places in Phnom Penh?A: "Well, as i can see there are only two or tree gardens in the whole city where about 2 millions people are living. It is just a tiny result. There is no large-scale project. They just a piece of work and then become too proud of themselves. this is what i can see. i don't know if i am negative".
