PHNOM Penh Municipal Court has summoned the owner of a controversial local development company to appear next week over a land dispute pitting two of Cambodia’s elite against each other.
Court deputy prosecutor Sok Roeun said Suy Sophan, owner of the Phanimex company, had been directed to appear in court on Monday over a land dispute in Meanchey district, after a complaint was filed against her by Yim Chhay Lin. Yim Chhay Lin is the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Hun Sen and the daughter of Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chhay Ly.
Suy Sophan said yesterday that she hadn’t received the summons.
“I will not go to the court,” Suy Sophan said. “I will have my lawyer clarify on my behalf.”
Phanimex was also involved in the eviction of several dozen families from Prampi Makara district’s Borei Keila community last year. The case drew international attention in part because of the eviction of roughly 40 families with HIV-positive members who were forced to move to Tuol Sambo village in Dangkor district, prompting critics to accuse the government of creating an “AIDS colony”.
The evictees were initially required to live in 3.5-by-4.5-metre metal sheds smaller than those required by the UN for emergency refugee camps, though many have since received permanent housing with the support of the NGO Caritas Cambodia.
Chub Sitha, chief of Meanchey district’s Prek Pra commune, said he did not know the details of the dispute between Suy Sophan and Yim Chhay Lin.
“We always see poor people lose in court against powerful people,” said Am Sam Ath, technical supervisor for local rights group Licadho.
“It’s rare to see powerful people file complaints against other powerful people.”

Hope they get to the point of killing each other. And both dead!
Time to kill each other for billions and trillions of dollars. Don't forget, monies will get you to be killed
Money is the root of all evil! This motherfucker corrupted soul has too too much greed. After done abusing the poor citizens now they bite each other. Hope things turn out for the worst possible for them.

Your theory doesn't fit this case .
She looks ugly doesn't she ? It doesn't matter how much jewelry she got , she still looks so unatractive to me .
Ah lop Kouy Pichet . The rich are fighting in court , how can the grass get squashed ?
For me,
she's beautiful,
because of her millions of dollars.

Even a pork head is rotten,
it could also be accepted
by a genie without nose.
After the poor are gone they have nothing to chase after so they must bite their own people tails,this is the cycle .It apply to the Hun Sen case for now he is untouchable person wait and see when he get old and retire there will be one after another to put him on trial to levy his live and assets.
She is Hun Sen father'mistress.
She made her moneys by offering her pussy to that old man.
1:49 PM, I used to hear "domrey chol knea, ngorp aeh sromorch", which means "when the elephants fight, the ants are the ones who died", because the fighting elephants stepped on the ants.
I predict that Hun Sen's daughter-in-law will win 1,000%.
Modame Suy Sophan,
you have no chance against this clan, it is better for to give up. You are elit but like the stone against stone, if in the west countries with undepance justic you cann fight back that you right for all(right, power pull and poor << jastice). Because in the west country justic for All people and always indepence organ, if someone try to bribe justic those was punushed also.

CPP supporters are winner for the moment, their children could also benefit from that privilege but their grand children will pay the price of their bad will.
Don't go to the court bitches,just use your body gards to smash each others.
This is just the tip of the ice sbeark, the major problems lie beneat this case...which mean that within their own party...each of them want to test out their power. These people no longer want the money...they don't event know how much money they have. They get board...so now they challenge each other who has the most power!...definately Hun's daughter in-law will wine this case...no matter what, unless the lawyer want his/her head to cut off or have a car accidence, than go ahead - let Suy Sophan win. This the cycle of elephan's creed...this in indeed a sad begaining for Cambodian people and her country....If anybody want to make the movie out of this story...you can title it "This is the begaining of Cambodian weep for a thousand year."
If they continue with their current cultures of corruption, impunity, compassion-less, greed, and uncontrolled materialistic, faked-buddhism, they are heading into self-destruction...
How much money, diamonds, and gold would any ugly choumteav need? How would any jewelery enhance their ugliness and filth(both physical and spriritual)? And, how much power and property would their corrupted husbands need?
Many of them are just empty souls. They are perpetuating and pass their bad behaviors on to their offsprings with a false sense of security by hiring members of the armed forces or private thugs with guns to protect their bodies and their fortified cocoons in all over Cambodia.
Let me give folks two quotes that have contrast meaning:
"The love of money is the root of all evil." New Testament: I Timothy 6:10
"The lack of money is the root of all evil." Mrak Twain
And here are more quotes for our observation about money:
"Money is an amoral instrument, and like science serves good and evil alike. There's no such thing as dirty money; the stain is only on the hand that holds it as giver ortaker." A.M. Sullivan
"It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't the things that money can't buy." George Horace Lorimer
"The love of money, if unjustly gained, is impious, and, if justly, shameful; for it is unseemly to be merely parsimonious even with justice on one side." Epicurus
correction: Mark Twain
you haven't lost...
...on one's side.
Kouy Pichet,
Your proverb does not fit the story at all.
The elephants are fighting on the beach where there is not even a single blade of grass!
4:13 PM,
Way to go, my friend. I love your comment!
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE. IF YOU WANT TO WIN A CASE YOU MUST KILL A FATHER IN LAW FIRST ( HUN SEN ). TO ME YOU NEVER WIN THE CASE AGAINST HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW. U MUST BE KIDDING ME TO BRING HER TO COIURT. IT'S A JOKE.
heheheh, phanimex (phan imports and exports) no body knows what the hell they import and export, but lots of illegal and forced land grabbings...
a land grabber's land is being grabbed by another more powerful land grabber...ain't karma a bitch?
The lady has about half million dollars jewelry on her body. The diamond ring, necklace and earings.
She is rich and flashy.
IF YOU DON'T KILL HUN SEN NOW YOU NEVER AND EVER WIN YOUR CASE AGAINST HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW. DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT CAMBODIAN COURT SYSTEM. IT'S CALL A KANGAROO COURT. TO GET RID OF HUN TO AND HUN SEN THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE TO FIGHT IN COURT. THAT THE BOTTOM LINE.
Regardless how much she sucks from cambodian people through her manipulative acts and gaining power for her greed,this lady is still an ugly duck and will never turn to be a golden swan.
When the time come she will go to the crack of mother earth in broad day light.
Mrs. SUY SOPHAN is a room-mate
