About 100 residents from Boeung Kak lake’s Village 7 clashed with police on Tuesday during a heated protest relating to the recent flooding of lakeside homes by local developer Shukaku Inc.
The protesters gathered at the developer’s office at the lakeside, urging Prime Minister Hun Sen to intervene to halt the pumping of sand into the lake and reevaluate compensation packages for those agreeing to relocate for a controversial development.
The protest turned violent when a Shukaku worker ordered police employed by the developer to destroy a protestor’s banner, knocking two villagers to the ground. Village representative Ly Mom also fell to the ground unconscious during the protest.
Hout Motdy, a resident of Village 20, said that she was frustrated by the lack of action on the part of the authorities.
“I have been everywhere, including Prime Minister Hun Sen’s house, the Prime Minister’s Cabinet, City Hall, the Daun Penh district office and the developer’s office, but they just sent us from place to place,” she said.
“This shows the intention of the government not to address our issue.”
Hout Motdy said villagers have never heard Hun Sen address the Boeung Kak development issue in public.
“If Samdech [Hun Sen] just says one word to let us stay, we will be able to stay here,” she said.
Rights groups say more than 4,000 families are set to be displaced by the 133-hectare commercial and housing development project, which is being built by Shukaku, a firm owned by ruling party senator Lao Meng Khin.
Lim Leang Se, deputy chief of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet, said yesterday that the government had a clear plan for relocating the villagers from the development zone.
He added that city authorities would coordinate with the developer to pay the villagers compensation, provided they had “formal supporting documents or any identification papers”.
“The compensation options are either an apartment in another area, cash reparations or the building of a house at the development zone,” Lim Leang Se said.
Also yesterday, City Hall issued a statement calling on people not to be incited by small groups of protesters.
“Phnom Penh Municipality appeals to people living under the Boeung Kak development project not to listen to a few small opportunists”, it said, asking villagers to contact the development firm to work out compensation payments.
It stated that about 2,000 families from the lake had already accepted government compensation packages.
Daun Penh deputy governor Sok Penh Vuth, who visited the scene of the protest yesterday, declined to comment.

Does anyone think "Hun Sen" is Vietnamese? Look at him and his dad more vietnamese look like than Cambodian, don't you think? His wife too is more vietnamese than khmer look. I think that is why he give the cambodia country to vitenam and give vitenam alot of profit from cambodia resource and if Vietnamese kill khmers he happy but khmer kill vitenamese he angry and kill khmer more and more. also If cambodian talk about the border he kill them badly Why? he must be Vietnamese born, don't you think! He is bollying cambodian and the nation of cambodia everyday about the border. He must be Vietnamese for 110% sure. He killed alot of innocent cambodians when god is going to take him to hell so far he n his group is getting richer and richer that is really unfair! God please open your eyes for the murderer of Cambodians...God please take him to hell as soon as possible and god please lock him in hell for ethernity please! God please take his family and his group to hell too and lock them for ethernity as slavery and burn in hell for ethernity! thanks God! Thanks all angels!All angels and god in the world please taking them to hell burn and lock them in hell for ethernity!
Hun Sen and his family are the ring leaders. Don't beg him to intervene.

វាចោលទេ ប្រទេសខ្មែរគ្មានថ្ងៃបានសុខសាន្តឡើយ។
Ah Hun Sen does not serve Khmer people;he serves Viet govt and his clans.
If Khmer citizens want to keep Cambodia alive as Khmer,they should wake up,stand up together against Hun Sen and Yuon.
How to get together?
Khmer oversea should pick a strong leader who has leadership,management skills and experiences in leading and managing people.And he has had accomplished his duty in the community.
-The responsibility,the communication,and duty are the main causes in leadership of each Khmer community.
-Justice,the truth,and morality are so important,each person should follow.
shut up! they say do not judge the book by its cover, silly! who gives a rat ass about his look, etc! it's the character, the intelligence, the allegiance, the patriotic, the education, the experience, etc, that counts more and matters more, really!
Hun Sen = Mr. 99 years
Hun Sen government are killing their own people without using gun, just go around in Cambodia and find out who own what and how many years? Beng Kok 99 years. Cambodia for Vietnam for 99 years..... Who are the rich people in Srok Khmer??? They are all family and of Hun Sen. Sok Anh, Ly Yunpat, Lao Meng Khin...ETC they all have hundred of thousand hectare of land and yet hundred of thousand of Cambodian have no land to live on. If this is not corruption what would you call this??? Every thing for sale in Cambodia ,but the money is not for the Cambodian trust account it for Hun Sen and his family and friend. Hun Sen = 99 years = youn is every where = Traitor
