Its official, the Phnom Penh Hash has been banned by Phnom Penh Authorities! An official letter received today from Phnom Penh municipality has ordered that the P2H3 stop their activities immediately.The letter, sent to the GM states that an outraged high ranking PP Municipality official saw the new P2H3 banner with the words “Drinking Club with a Running Problem” on the truck on Sunday and sent an immediate memo requesting the club be disbanded. Reasons were cited that for the health of the Cambodian people, sport and alcoholism should not be encouraged together. If the Hash meets again this Sunday the Police will be called in to disband the gathering.
P2H3 Mismanagement committee members will be meeting the PP Municipality soon to try to resolve the situation. GM Blackout hopes that by changing the banner and apologising to the Municipality that we may be able to appease the authorities and continue the P2H3 runs. Hash Trash will report the latest situation after this emergency meeting. Sunday’s run may of course be called off, so watch this space!
