May Titthara
The Phnom Penh Post
The government has awarded nearly 10,000 hectares of land previously part of a wildlife sanctuary in Preah Vihear province to a private company to develop agro-industry and plant rubber trees, according to a letter issued by the Council of Ministers.
The letter, dated May 5 and obtained The Post yesterday, is addressed to the Ministry of Environment. It states that Prime Minister Hun Sen has approved a 70-year lease for Try Pheap Import Export Co Ltd to develop 9,916 hectares of land in the Boeung Pe wildlife sanctuary in Rovieng district’s Romny commune.
Deputy provincial governor Sar Thavy declined to comment yesterday. Khoy Chanrath, director of the provincial environment department, could not be reached for comment.
Romny resident Svay Choeun, 53, said yesterday that the concession would damage the environment in addition to harming local livelihoods.
“We are wondering how the government granted that protection area to the company,” he said. “How they can do that?”
Local villagers will lose money they earn from developing tree-based products as a result of the concession, Chut Wutty, director of Natural Resource Protection Group NGO, said yesterday.
Thuk Kroeun Vutha, secretary of state at the Environment Ministry, could not be reached for comment. Contact details for Try Pheap were not available.

1:50 AM or Mr. Educated,
How much education do you have? Can you tell us what kind of degree or degrees you are currently holding when you consider others to be uneducated?
Don't you think that is quite insulting to be told to get an education, especially from an anonymous whose credential we have no clue of?
With so much education you indirectly claim to possess I am not sure why you are writing English sentences in lower-case letters when certain words need to be capitalized.
Don't worry; Cambodians will be more educated with time as the Internet and cell phones are flourishing in Cambodia right now.
You can rest assured that with more education, the Cambodian people will chop Hun Sen's head off for destroying the environment and their country.

អាគារខ្ពស់វាមានជាន់ ជណ្ដើរស្វ័យប្រវត្តវាមាន
ថ្នាក់ មនុស្សម្នាក់ៗមានការចេះដឹងខ្ពស់ទាបខុស
គ្នា ដូច្នេះអ្នកគួរតាំងចិត្តអត់ឱនឬអភ័យទោសគ្នា។
រដ្ធាភិបាលនិងតំណាងរាស្ត្រ ចាត់តាំងឡើងដោយ
សារប្រជារាស្ត្រ។នាយកឬមន្ត្រី ស្នើរទៅតំណាង
រាស្ត្រហើយអោយតំណាងរាស្ត្រគ្រប់បក្សសួរដេញ
ដោល រួចទើបមានការបោះឆ្នោតជូនជាលំដាប់។
រដ្ធាភិបាលធ្វើអ្វី ស្រេចតែទំនើងចិត្តរបស់ខ្លួន
ឈ្មោះថា កាន់លទ្ធិផ្ដាច់ការ។

រាស្ត្រយល់ព្រម តែប្រជាពលរដ្ធមិនយល់ព្រម
ត្រូវណែនាំរាស្ត្រឲ្យយល់ព្រម។អាជ្ញាធរមិនត្រូវប្រើធម៌ហឹង្សានឹងរាស្ត្រដាច់ខាត។

កុំម្មុយនីស្តវាមិនយល់ទេ។ វាចេះតែ ចាត់តាំង
លើកបន្តុប អាណាហ៊ានប្រឆាំង ជាខ្មាំង ជាពួកអា
បក្សប្រឆាំង សំលាប់។ មានតែរណសិរ្សសាមគ្គី
សង្រ្គោះជាតិកម្ពុជាមួយគត់ដែលមានគុណលើស
លុបចំពោះពួកវា។
