Hun Sen is doing a very good job by expanding the river bank wider and made Cambodia land smaller. Thank you Samdech Hun Sen for making the poor Cambodian become poorer and your families become richer.

Well, we're going to need extra water to increase our rice production in order to solve the high rice price issue.

HEY ALL YOUR GUYS ARE SPEAKING BULLSHIT!!!!
Most of the houses were built illegally by parasites . No OSHA, they throw their garbages and the toilets go directly into the river.
They damage the environment and make the river banks very uggly. It is the destiny to have these houses collapses, as they were not here before.... Nature back to nature.. Stop defending these parasites coming from the country side and too lazy to work in the farm...
