PHNOM PENH - A London-based environmental advocacy group urged international donors Wednesday to use their leverage over Cambodia to bring about improved governance and transparency of Cambodia's petroleum and mining sectors.

"Cambodia is on the verge of a petroleum and minerals windfall, but both sectors are already exhibiting early warning signs of the corruption, nepotism and state capture which plagued Cambodia's forest sector," Global Witness said in a statement.

yes, there is a huge deposit of oil and natural gas under cambodia, especially the tonle sap lake. hint: during dry season, the low water reveils gas vent oozing from the ground; there is one such area at koh soutin area near the city of kompong cham. khmers thinks its sacred ground and built buddha temple on or over it to hide or preserve it from the world. god bless cambodia.

We are not so sure yet whether our country have huge oil deposit. No one or company give official figure how much oil and gas Cambodia had even Chevron, they reluctance to give out information but mining is in the process of extraction in Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri provincce. the government of Cambodia should use and manage this revenue properly otherwise this revenue cannot contribute to economic growth and sustain Cambodia development for next generation.

Wish Cambodia is a prosperous Country!
