I lived in Battambang as I went to Phnom Penh in 1969 and it was beautiful city then I remembered that time. People had been so attitude walking, and they were intelligence.
Phnom Penh in 1968 was once hailed as the "Pearl of Asia," a city renowned for its charm and beauty. Designed with a vision by French architects, the layout of Phnom Penh still retains elements of its elegance, despite the rapid urbanization and disorder of the 21st century. Today, however, the city is a far cry from its former glory. Chaotic building projects, uncontrolled urban sprawl, and traffic without regulation have turned it into one of the least pedestrian-friendly cities in the world. With virtually no proper pedestrian crossings or footpaths, Phnom Penh has become a difficult place to navigate, diminishing its appeal to visitors. Phnom Penh today is a living canvas that tells the story of Cambodia's tumultuous history-a tale of political upheavals, genocide, and power struggles that defined the nation over three decades. In contrast, 1968 marked a peak of peace, freedom, and democracy in Cambodia. While the country was under the monarchy led by King Norodom Sihanouk, political plurality flourished. The king’s Sangkum Reastr Niyum (សង្គមរាស្ត្រនិយម), or the People’s Socialist Community, dominated the political landscape but coexisted with other significant political movements. These included the Democratic Party (គណបក្សប្រជាធិបតេយ្យ), the Pracheachon Party (គណបក្សប្រជាជន), and the Khmer Renovation Party (គណបក្សសម្រស់ខ្មែរ). This diversity of political thought in 1968 was a hallmark of a relatively open society-a stark contrast to the present day. At that time, Cambodia enjoyed more freedom of expression and political competition than it does today. The atmosphere of openness in 1968 contrasted sharply with modern Phnom Penh, where governance is dominated by individuals with limited understanding of urban planning. Many leaders lack the experience or vision required to manage the complexities of the capital city, leading to its evident decline. What was once a city of beauty, ambition, and cultural vibrancy is now a symbol of lost potential, struggling to reconcile its storied past with its chaotic present.....

I lived in Battambang as I went to Phnom Penh in 1969 and it was beautiful city then I remembered that time. People had been so attitude walking, and they were intelligence.
this footage was likely taken from between may to september 1968 judging from the flowering flame trees that used to be the pride of the city
Wonderful 🇰🇭 ❤
