Boeung Kak Lake

Boeung Kak Lake

Phnom Penh is a heart of Cambodia and it is a central of commence. Most people like to live in Phnom Penh because it has almost everything which they need. From the past until now, Phnom Penh was very exciting place to live and it has not civil war but for this period, it has a big problem at Boeung Kak lake which the land was granted to Shukaku Company.

First, when the land was granted to Shukaku, the company has to provide to people who live near Boeung Kak lake a village which has 12.44 hectares for them but it excepted some families that were not effect to that company or the lake.

Next, when people approve with the company, they have no thing because the company laid them and also they provide a little bite in which it is not what they agree with. At that time, they are still destroy people’s house until some people died and injures.

When people got these stupid problems, they try to tell to police and most power people to solve that problems but it did not have any thing reply. So they try to demonstration to some places and embassies. In fact, they try to USA embassy to solve this problem. “Land at Boeung Kok was granted to Shukaku, a company owned by CPP senator Lao Meng Khin, in 2007 for a US$79 million developmet.”(1)

            Finally, Boeung Kak is a part that need to develop in Phnom Penh but this company should not do like this. In my opinion, They should not sell that lake for money. It is been there since many centuries. It helps from flooding in Phnom Penh. It is collecting and storing Water Lake.
