PHNOM PENH: The opening ceremony of the 2023 Cambodia SEA Games is just two days away, but the hosts seem to be struggling to complete the various related facilities and venues, including the athletes’ main village, located at the Morodok Techo National Sports Complex.

Although the athletes are currently housed in six blocks of white apartments, located almost 200 metres from the Morodok Techo Stadium, there are some uncompleted apartment units, along with other signs of rushed work, such as dust-filled spaces and unremoved stickers on newly-installed windows.
