A deputy provincial governor of the Preah Vihear province was arrested by military police on 14 November 2007. He is accused of involvement in the grabbing of state forest lands. A local newspaper reported that Meas Savoeun, the deputy provincial governor of Preah Vihear province, was arrested at his office and sent to Phnom Penh on that same day. According to the newspaper, the arrest of Meas Savoeun stems from his involvement in the grabbing of 3 areas of state forest lands, and setting himself up as a middleman in the land transaction. This arrest serves a warning to other individuals who are currently illegally grabbing state lands, in particular those powerful officials.

What? Hun Sen's government is filled with land grabbers from just one arrest, mee chkout (Socheata)?
How about the CPP malndgrabbers ? why arrest only former Funcinpec resistance leaders like Meas Savouen ?
Have your say on election day 2008
Which CPP land grabber?
CPP don't grab land. Usually, it is Ah illegal Khmer-Yuon who grab the CPP land.
4:23Pm, the blind, dumb and deaf.
if they don't do is wrong and if they do is wrong, What do youwant, fool?
10:27 PM haha you make your message look like it comes from an ignorant one.
Nohting wrong about stoping landgrabbing, but do it based on land law, not based personal feeling of ah akvack chkae youn Hun Xen. otherwise, it is nothing more than a land grabber grabs land from other land grabber.
4:23 PM
what do you smoke? lop lop!! ah lop
5:36, everything is based on law. This is not the west.
what is the difference? are you saying the west eat skeak and BBQ while the east eat cat/dog?
when will your low life motherfucker grow up and get serious about leading Cambodia like leaders in the whole do to their countries?
No, I am saying that the west eat steak that is full of hormones and turned their siblings into gays and lesbians, and we eat everything that is natural.
that's RIGHHHHT. you eat what is natural. haha like dirth rat fresh from the rubbish field. By the way, ah kvack's doughter took a wife. do you know?
your f*cking fool need to grow up fast in terms of natural resource management, laws of corruption. or else ah kontop and ah thai'lame will your economy alive.
Yes, I know about PM Hun Sen's daughter toke a wife. He should never send her west to eat all those chemical filled foods. Oh well, sometime bad thing happen to all of us.
As for natural resources, we'll need it to get out of poverty. We can't do it for free. It will take forever. That is why we have explorers from all over the world searching for it, and I hope we will find something valuable that worthed trillions of dollars.
Bad thing happen to only idiots, not to all of us. do you know PD life style is so popular in S.E.Asia these days?
dump azz!! just look at the timber industry. the forest is gone so does the $$. the same thing goes for tourism industry. Angkor Wat is almost collaped due the overlaod of tourists, but where does the $$ go?
go ask ah youn khmer!!
Pff he got arrested not because of land grabbing, he got arrested because he did not share the benefits from his land grabbing action! He thought no one would know because he is in Preah Vihear...
The law is there just to make sure that if you don't share the benefits from your illegal actions then the already-rich-and-powerful-corrupted leaders will make sure to use the law to nail you!
Ex: you are a Forest official, it's OK to cut trees and export to Vietnam but you better share otherwise since everybody know what you are doing, one day they will send the Police to settle score & you can be sure they will seize from your house all that dirty money to put in their bank accounts overseas.
When you read "only a few policmen are corrupted" this means "only a few policemen do not share their corruption money"
Ha ha ha, look what happened to Phnom Penh Police Chief!
Even better, they later declared that the thousands of $$$ they found in his house were counterfeit! What a nice way to pocket his money & then show to everyone a bunch of fake $$ so no one will ever ask what happened to the money...
These guys are really good.
Yes, you are right, 7:36. There is no such thing as getting rich alone in this world. You always mush shared your wealth, and bad thing will happened if you don't. Let's say you are making 10 millions dollar profit, for example. Right of the bat, you have to pay some taxes (or share it with the government), and you also have to pay your tax accountant, and of course you don't want to forget your agent that got you the deal, ... . Therefore, you see? It is the same everywhere.
5:22 AM but the difference is you pay to the corrupted fools, we pay tax to the state.
No, we pay tax to the State too. But no State on this planet ever seen 100% of their taxes, may be about 90% top.
