Today, October 20, SRP team led by party provincial head Eng Chhai Eang visited flood victims in Preak Preng village, Samrong Thom commune of Kien Svay district.

This village has suffered for more than a decade of land-grabbing dispute where about half of more than one hundred families have now regained back their right to the land with the help of SRP but the rest will face more suffering when the water recede as the powerful land-grabbers will return to resume the intimidation act to prohibit villagers from using the land for cultivation.

MP Son Chhay spoke to the villagers of Prek Preng to explain on how Lauk Prathean Sam Rainsy and SRP are concerned over the flood situation which effected so many people, especially the poor and requested the government relief agencies such as the Red Cross and the National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) to immediately without prejudice provide support to the flood victims who mostly in need at a gathering before hand out rice, medicine and other food items which were provided by oversea Cambodian and SRP leaders of Kandal province to flood victims in the village.

Eng Chhai Eang insured old woman of getting a bag of rice while Son Chhay asking for information on the situation of flood victims in the village.
