"The residents want their own representatives as part of the commission, to ensure fairness."
Residents facing eviction from the Boeung Kak lake area in Phnom Penh have asked a city commission to cease land-plot measurements there, saying they want to have a chance themselves to measure the land they could be allowed to live on as a solution to a land dispute that has dogged the development since 2008.

Residents say they are worried the land measurements are not being done transparently, raising concerns they could be given smaller plots than anticipated.

The land-plotting scheme is a compromise by the city and developers in the ongoing land dispute over the $79-million, 133-hectare development site.


However, Tep Vanny, a representative of the lake residents, said they had refused to thumb-print a document affirming the land measurements and had asked for the commission to delay its work until villagers can confirm them.

The residents want their own representatives as part of the commission, to ensure fairness, he said.

Another representative Ly Srey Mom, said residents want official documentation from the city administration confirming the land plots.

A city official said the administration would consider the request.

KI team, please post this if you can!

To Lok Prothean Sam Rainsy:

Have you spent a few minutes to think over and re-assess your progressive performance in the political arena so far? SWOT analysis from different perspectives will help!

- What defines Leadership to you?
- MPs Mu Sochua, Son Chhay & Mao Monivann and a few more are the core pillars of SRP. Ms. Mu has shown her great leadership skills. Everyday, she spends her time helping the poor Khmer victims. She refused to run away from the Kangaroo's court when come to injustice. You should not be afraid and stay in Cambodia. What can Hun Xen do to you? Instead, you will be gaining more popularity by showing your bravery/lealership. Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar dared to stay in the country even though she well knew that she risked her life. Nelson Mandela of S. Africa stayed in the prison for 27 years in exchange for true justice & freedom. That's the true leader.
- Stop painting the same Khmers. This is a lose-lose strategy. Speculation would lead to nowhere besides destroying our country.

The thing is not about CPP is stronger than SRP or HRP, but the opposition parties never learnt its past failure and refused to accept new ideas.

If SRP continues to run on the same status-quo platform with obsolete leadership skills, you will never ever be able to win the CPP/Youn Hun Xen.

Hope KI could help post this in your blog.

Best Regards,

SRP+HRP+All True Khmers>CPP/Youns!

8:09am-
Viewed by CPP, Mr. Rainsy has different effectiveness from that of Ms. Sochua.
You cannot compare the two.
