EVICTEES from the Dey Krahorm community in central Phnom Penh staged a second set of protests Sunday outside Prime Minister Hun Sen's house in Takhmao, demanding compensation for the destruction of their homes.
About 40 ex-Dey Krahorm families, most of whom are now living on the street or in pagodas, lamented the January 24 eviction that saw their houses flattened by teams of hired hands from developer 7NG.
Lim Leang Se, Hun Sen's deputy Cabinet chief, said by phone Sunday that he would call a meeting Tuesday over the issue.
"We will try to help them on Tuesday [February 11] by asking the municipality and 7NG officials to meet [evictees] at the 7NG office at Dey Krahorm," he said. "Families are unsure whether they are receiving a house [as compensation]. We will help them check whether they have their name on the list," he said.
He added, however, that any demands for cash would have to wait.
Originally housing between 800 and 1,400 families, the Dey Krahorm community had shrunk as residents accepted compensation offers and relocated. A final offer of US$20,000 was made, ensuring all but an estimated 90 families had left before the eviction. The developer terminated that last offer three days before the eviction. The company then offered the hold out families a house at a relocation site 16 kilometres outside the city, but many evictees say they would prefer cash to living so far away.

Let them go to Ah Scam Rainxy for solution. They did not vote for CPP.
And you CPP leach 11:17 PM, eat shit and die!
i think it is only fair and just to help them as these are very poor people. imagine, if you are poor, you will feel the same sadness for losing your home, especially if you have a lot of small children to feed and raise. any forced relocation ought to be properly compensated. thank you for your assistance and generosity.
My beloved 2:29AM!
Thou art so admirably understanding of the poor and miserable evictees' suffocatingly desperate needs. More evidently speaking, this is not the first time which CPP's elites and the unhumanly greedy companies illegally forced these poor, miserable, and defendless Khmers out of their house without any properly compensation.
11:06 PM. I think it's better to make friends, not enemies, with Vietnam. Just ask the Americans. They know.
People, please don’t waste your time and effort. You’re going to get nothing back from the tyrant. Simply, just like you’re asking a robber to give back the possession that was taken away from you.
There would be pathetic if you were left with mercy in the first place before being robbed.
So stop wasting your time. No one can help you. Just pray for those evils that some days a judgment day would be met.
HUN Sen a dit: je suis aveugle ,je ne voix plus rien et je suis sourd aussi votre haut parleur est très petit j'en vous entends plus rien people ! reclammez-vous à l'écran APSARA 11 svp !
