Memory of deadly building collapse lingers for Sihanoukville workers

Workers gathered this week to mark the one year anniversary of a building collapse in Preah Sihanouk province that killed 28, and spoke of their fears of returning to construction work as the provincial court is set to begin hearings on June 25 to try four men for manslaughter in the case.

Marking one year since the disaster, Mam Thim, 54, recalled his experience in the early morning of June 22, 2019, at a ceremony in Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district earlier this week.

Thim said that when the seven-story building collapsed in the early morning, he did not think he would make it out alive.
