Boeung Kak lake residents spoke out against government officials who accused them of living on state land illegally, during a press conference yesterday in Daun Penh’s Srah Chak commune.
“If they accuse us of being thieves, what are government officials and local authorities who issued legal letters to us?” Ly Mom, a representative for Boeung Kak residents, said yesterday during a press conference in Village 24 of Srah Chak commune.
Sia Phearum, secretariat director of the local NGO Housing Rights Task Force, said yesterday that if government officials accused residents of being thieves who stole state land as they have alleged, “this language is shameful and they are not suited to be leaders … and this is not a resolution”.
Nun Pheany, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, said yesterday that she had not personally stated that Boeung Kak residents were living illegally on the disputed land.
Nun Pheany and Sar Sovann, director of the Land Management and Administration Project, were accused of alleging villagers were living on stolen land by representative at the press conference.
She added that the development of the Boeung Kak area is within the framework of the LMAP and that the World Bank’s recent criticism of the project incorrectly connected it to land disputes with Boeung Kak villagers.
“LMAP is not relevant to the villagers of Boeung Kak area because we took it out of the project because it was a disputed area,” she said, adding that the dispute arose after officials from Phnom Penh Municipal Hall and Daun Penh district accused the villagers of living on the land illegally.
“However, so far we haven’t registered land for any parties until the dispute is successfully resolved.”

I'm not sure if you are sarcastic, but Cambodia always belong to Cambodian people regardless of what so ever. Without our ancestor Cambodia would not have existed today.
CPP and Hun Sen are dum ass thieves who steal Cambodia from the people.
To Prime Minister Hun Sen:
First of all, I would like to say sorry for any unintentionally mistake, but I must say that "you should think again for the eviction of residents in Boengkak" their fates depend on you alone. Everything happens in Cambodia it's your responsibility.....coz you are like their father and mother. Let me tell you "LIVING ATOP THE TEARS OF PEOPLE...WILL NOT LAST LONG" DON'T JUST LISTEN TO SOME GUYS NEAR YOU...THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO FAWN YOU FOR BENEFITS!
Please show sympathy and grant permission to those living in Boeng Kak lake, they too are Khmers
CAMBODIANS ARE SUFFERING FROM THE RULE OF A MADMAN NAMED HUN SEN. THIS IS BECAUSE OF SIHANOUK'S CRIME. WHY?
SIHANOUK HAD HELPED POL POT TO TAKE POWER FROM LON NOL BY CALLING THE CAMBODIANS TO "CHAUL PREY MAQUIS" AND FIGHT LON NOL. HE SUCCEDED. AFTER POL POT EMERGED HUN SEN.
Hun Sen can't work with Ms. Mu by himself unless Hun Sen is allowed by his Master Viet/Youn Hanoi (who orders Hun Sen what to do in Cambodian). We Khmer people need to stand up together to protest against Viet/Youn Hanoi who orders Hun Sen to hurt Khmer people and destroy natural resources in Cambodia and who create the secret Viet/Youn agents in Cambodia to destroy and murder Khmer people until today. Also, Khmer people stand up together to take down Hun Sen and his Viet/Youn evil wife and his family members. Please tell the world that Viet/Youn Hanoi and secret Viet agents have been behind all the killing and grenade in 1997, cheating the election (to make Hun Sen win the election) because of 5 millions illegal Vietnamese people in Cambodia, more they (Viet/Youn) have done to damage the image of Cambodia and Khmer people in the world. Please have your voices heard around the world.
They are sucking blood of Lake residents for their own benefits.
The leaders & their development projects are suck.
