PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia has banned all sand exports on environmental grounds, the Ministry of Mines and Energy said on Wednesday (July 12), officially ending the sale of sand to Singapore which has for years used it to reclaim land along its coasts.

The ministry said most of Cambodia's sand had gone towards the expansion of the island city-state of Singapore, and it would now have to look for other sources.

Environmental groups have been pressing the government to stop the trade, saying the digging and dredging of sand has had a serious impact on coastal ecosystems and surrounding land.

GrA ministry spokesman, Meng Saktheara, said the government was responding to the concerns of the campaigners and it also agreed that large-scale sand mining was indeed damaging.

"Their worries are right that the risks are massive so the ministry decided to ban sand exports and large-scale sand dredging," Meng Saktheara told Reuters.

Meng Saktheara said Singapore was Cambodia's top market for sand until last year when the temporary ban came into force, and had it imported some 16 million tonnes of sand since 2007.

U.N. trade data released last year showed that Singapore had imported more than 72 million tonnes of sand, worth more than $740 million, from Cambodia since 2007.

It was not clear why there was such a big difference between the official government figure for exports to Singapore since 2007 and the U.N. figure.

Singapore's embassy in Phnom Penh did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

不让人活啊。。。

China on Thursday turned over to Cambodia 100 buses to be used to expand public transportation in its capital, Phnom Penh.

The donation of the vehicles comes three years after municipal bus transportation was reintroduced in the capital. Currently, the city of roughly 2.5 million people has about 1.5 million motorbikes and more than 30,000 cars clogging its roads.

The value of the new buses was not announced. Labels on the buses indicated they came from China's Zhengzhou Yutong Bus Co., one of the world's leading bus producers.

China is Cambodia's most important political and economic ally. It has provided millions of dollars in aid and investment over the past decade, agreed to write off debts and granted Cambodia tariff-free status for hundreds of items. Cambodia in turn generally supports China's positions on international political issues.

所以新加坡人需要有危机意识, 看看当年大马禁止砂石出口新加坡时, 其中有一说是会破坏大马生态环境, 现在大马本身的填海计划也不小。

           这个道理就像美国阻止中国参与国际太空站一样,是怕人家进步

         填海岸边的地，不可以用海砂吗？

        填了之后，经过个5，10年的雨水流入和自然反应，海砂会去盐吗？
  
        如果不是要很深入地底的打桩的高楼大厦，在海砂土上盖渡假屋，有问题吗？

这跟引进外劳来增加国劳就业人口一样的妙论
