Lake Residents Seek Audience With Ban Ki-moon

“We want to meet Ban Ki-moon to help us be free of forced eviction. We need government development projects for a modern city, but we want to live in the Boeung Kak area.”
More than 100 residents from Phnom Penh's Boeung Kak lake area gathered in front of the UNDP offices on Monday to request a meeting with the UN secretary-general on his upcoming visit.

Ban Ki-moon is expected to arrive Wednesday for two days of official talks with Prime Minister Hun Sen and others, and lake residents said Monday they hoped he could help resolve an ongoing dispute with development company Shukaku.

Residents said in a letter they wanted “to stop the forced eviction from their homes and lands.” UNDP officials accepted the request and said they would forward it to Ban's office.



“We want to meet Ban Ki-moon to help us be free of forced eviction,” lake resident Sam Vanna said Monday. “We need government development projects for a modern city, but we want to live in the Boeung Kak area.”

On his visit, Ban is expected to address ongoing issues with the UN-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal, and he is scheduled to visit the Tuol Sleng genocide Museum.

Ah Tith Sothear, Ah Khanharith,...Ah all spokesman(just for speak with dog's brain). You are all need to think that:

Alots of complaint to ousider for intervention (like Boeungkok Lake case) is the clear sign to show that people they don't trust with the way you rule the country. Those property, land are belonging to Samrainsy party or Samrainsy asset? Or those belong to the poor family?

Land management Ministry is doing what? We saw the complaint of land abuse every day? What's your guy doing? FUCKING YOUN OR WHAT?

For the moment, Hun Sen needs money from other countries, he doesn't oppress too hard,
once he earns money from oil and he doesn't need help from outside anymore, you will see, he will eat other CPP members head one by one until the last..
