Malaysian company to invest 100 mln USD to build resort along Cambodian-Vietnamese border

March 01, 2007

CVI Ressort of Malaysia plans to invest about 100 million U.S. dollars to build five-star hotel, golf course, international information center, stadium, entertainment center, commercial center and supermarket on 130 hectares of land in Svay Rieng province along the Cambodian- Vietnamese border, Srey Thamarong, advisor to Prime Minister Hun Sen said in Phnom Penh on Thursday.

Lim Thee Wah, owner of the company, recently told Hun Sen that the hotel will have 450 rooms and the golf course 18 holes, with nine in Cambodia and the other 9 in Vietnam, he said.

Hun Sen supports the investment plan because it fits the policy of the royal government and will boost the economic growth of the kingdom, he said.

Hun Sen has tried for long to develop the border areas into a complex zone with industrial factory, tourism project and economic and trade facility, thus bringing peace and security there, he said.

Hun Sen expects the CVI Ressort plan to develop the areas into a sight-seeing spot, where both Cambodians and Vietnamese can enter without visa, he said.

The prime minister also wished that similar plans will occur later to develop the Thai-Cambodian and the Laos-Cambodian border areas, he added.

Let Debate:
Khmer Rouge's trial in Cambodia is just a myth, a political oriented trial and an instrument of Vietnam to legitimize its invasion, influence and occupation in Cambodia. Or it is important to try few surviving KR cadres for people justice? Which one is more serious than? Or do we have other good solution?

The debate for our young generation and everybody would significantly focus on:
1. Which one is more important between the invasion of Vietnam and the ignorant leading of the KR in the past?

Tip:
- Present Cambodia situation, the Khmer Rouge (KR) is already powerless and dead...so all Khmers still happy with Vietnam's invasion in January 7, 1979-till now or revenge the dead KR regime between 1975-79?

Answer the question, please Khmer compatriots, especially young generaiton!

I am always in full support of
border trading. It sounds so
historical; that is how our
anscestors used to do it.
And yes, it is a great idea to
develop the area and take trading
to a new level.
