Complaints Submitted in K Chhnang Land Dispute
A development company owned by the wife of the Minister of Industry, Mine and Energy Suy Sem has been the target of 40 civil complaints received by the provincial court of Kompong Chhnang province. Chea Kheng claims she owns the 214-hectare plot of which 69 hectares have been sold off by the villagers to Thay Hy, a local businessman in 1996. Some villagers are so impoverished that they must provide proof of such before they can submit their complaints to court in order to waive any fees they may incur.
