SRP MPs Son Chhay and Ho Vann handed over a petition bearing the thumbprints of Boeng Kak lake residents who are opposed to the development of the Boeng Kak area. The petition was handed to the attention of Kep Chuktema, the Phnom Penh governor, so that the city rethink over its agreement to lease the Boeng Kak lake area to a private company for a duration of 99-year. On Wednesday morning, the two SRP MPs led about 60 Boeng Kak lake residents who represent the 4,252 families, to deliver a thumbprinted petition to governor Kep Chuktema. However, the latter did not come out to the meet the representatives of the residents, claiming that he was too busy with the commune election. He gave an appointment for the residents to return back on 03 April.
