After two hours of negotiations between Cambodian Independent Democratic Economic Association System (IDEAS) representatives and Phnom Penh Municipal officials on Thursday, no agreement was reached.

The negotiations came after over 200 IDEAS persons asked for a delay in punishment by the Cambodian traffic police until at least December 31.

Chief of IDEAS Von Pao sent a letter to the Phnom Penh Governor Kep Chuktema said asking for a halt on fines on non-valid vehicle number plates until December 31, 2009. The Ministry of Public Works and Transportation have so far provided only 200 number plates, compared to 1,500 requests. The delay was not agreed by the City. The IDEAS’s representative said that “Tomorrow, we will file to the Ministry of Interior about this, according to the Phnom Penh Municipality suggetsion.”

“It is very difficult for our members to get a real answer. For the next week, our members fear punishment by the police.”

If the Interior Ministry does not agree to the request, IDEAS will appeal to the Prime Minister.
