Elevator Use in Phnom Penh Center

Below is an e-mail, exactly as it appeared in my Inbox, I recently received from the administration team here at Pact:

Dear all:

On behalf of Admin Unit, I would like to inform those of you who use elevator please pay attention to this statement. Based on our staff observation, it sometimes is found that there is no elevator when door of elevator opens.

We would like to draw your attention to this matter when you press button up or down on 3rd floor and the red light button of elevator shows you that it arrives. However, you must check it whether the elevator arrives or not in case of door opened before you step in. As a part of our job, we informed PP center to take care of this issue this afternoon. As acknowledged, PPC will take action to get it fixed as soon as possible. We would suggest that you should use stairs rather than elevator.

Your attention to this matter is our concern.

Before you get overly concerned, let me assure you that I always take the stairs. Though having an elevator is a nice convenience (and quite rare in Phnom Penh), the elevator is quite slow and usually overcrowded.
