Vendors from Tuol Kork Market hold up pictures of Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany yesterday outside the premier’s home in Phnom Penh. About 50 vendors joined the demonstration yesterday to appeal for Hun Sen to intervene in an ongoing dispute with the owner of the market, who they say has increased the rental price of stalls. Vendor representative Ven Moly said the market owner had announced plans to more than double the rental fees for some of the market’s 200 stall-holders, and that some vendors would soon be charged as much as US$350 per month.
