Real estate or land transactions create little wealth. Basically, they are just transfers of pieces of existing wealth from one owner to another, and some make money in the process.

Construction on those lands create some wealth, but more in countries exporting contruction materials than in Cambodia itself.

Cambodia needs wealth creators. Ealth creators are makers, producers and exporters. Producers and exporters are entrepreneurs. Has Cambodia created and helped such wealth creators? It seems it has created more enterprising consumers and importers?

CPP government is the major corruption government in South East Asia.
Cambodia is gone down hill for 30 years and turn to the poorest country in the world.
Hun Sen and his CPP are not smart enough to run the country.
Cambodia need new well educated government to bring the country backup.
