Early yesterday morning, OCIC, run by tycoon Pung Khieu Se, used 10 earthmoving
machines to clear the land in the district’s Prek Leap commune to make way for a new road
and drainage system for its planned satellite city.
However, Hul Savoeun, a 45-year-old resident of the area, said that the land belongs to her
and that she had not been compensated for it.
“If they want to build the road and drainage system, they should have a solution rst,” she
said. “Do not clear the land and rob people’s land like this.”
Chea Sophat, a representative for the communities a ected by the project, said that OCIC’s
o er of $15 per square metre was unacceptable and maintained a demand of $400 per
square metre, adding that the going rate in the area was $2,000.

were incorrect, given that “there are no land titles for that area”.
