$23.2B development project for Kep is rubber-stamped...
Article from the PPP, a sort of introduction to the way development projects are done in the KOW.
Where to start ? A minister's subordinates have rubber-stamped a huge $23.2B investment project for Kep run by the wife of the very same minister. However, the project has been approved before there is anything to approve. The mega-project itself is still virtual; studies have not even begun, let alone submitted for approval, and officials say that the development probably won't even happen.
As for the "independent think tank founded by the minister in question"... priceless.

Several subordinates of a senior minister within the office of the prime minister have registered and rubber-stamped a gargantuan $23.2 billion investment project chaired by the minister’s wife, while officials in the know say the project stands little chance of getting off the ground.
The massive project was given the green light by Hing Thoraxy from the Council of Ministers and a senior researcher at the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace (CICP), an independent think tank founded by the minister in question, Dr Kao Kim Hourn.
The project, which is supposed to break ground this year according to official government documents, shows a 4,158-hectare multipurpose tourism resort and a 144-hectare marina that straddles the border between Kep and Kampot province financed by Pallas Brilliant Investment and Development Co Ltd...
According to Ministry of Commerce records, Pallas was founded in November 2015, with Kim Hourn’s wife Khem Rany as its chairperson. Those same records give the company’s registered address as the University of Cambodia, where Kim Hourn is president...
The email address the company was registered to belongs to a Ban Chenda, director of programming at Southeast Asia Television, founded by Kim Hourn...
Legal expert Sok Sam Oeun said yesterday that Cambodian legislation lacks a proper definition of conflict of interest, but that by most generally accepted definitions this case would appear to fit the bill...

The real issue is the rights of the land.
'Pallas Brilliant Investment and Development Co Ltd' obviously don't have $23.2b
I forget the name of the game played at local markets which on appearance resembles a Ponzi scheme.

Grandiose projects on the coast - just trying to keep up - these come to mind, but there must be more... and around PP is probably even more crazy.
1/ huge project on Koh Rong including resorts,ferry port and itl airport - Royal group
2/Koh Kong resort and itl airport - Chinese-owned firm Tianjin Union Development Group (UDG)
3/ Ream Park development project - Chinese also I think ?
4/ oil and ferry port Kampot - Ty Pheak, Cambodian tycoon
5/ D'Seaview super condo and lifestyle construction near Sokha beach, Sihanoukville - ??
6/ some sort of skyscraper project behind or near Samudera, SV - condos advertised on fb - ??
That's just from memory, but I'm sure there's a least a few more around SV. Please add on here.

I noticed a billboard in Phnom Penh today, opposite the Gold Tower 42 shell, for 'Blue Bay Sihanoukville' on Independence Beach. Looks quite ambitious

And on realestate.com.kh as a similar listing is Royal Bayview
http://realestate.com.kh/royal-bayview/3143715/
It's been a long time since I went to Sihanoukville.

Re: $23.2B development project for Kep is rubber-stamped...
this kind of shit have been going on long enough all over the world, companies doesnt give a shit as well, if their investment tanked, they just issue more shares or bond to cover back that loss, in the end its those pensioner who bought all those shares or bonds that suffers, even worst some of them dont even know what they bought, conned by their "financial adviser" what we need is a world revolution where all these greedy corporate mofos are dragged onto the streets and executed nazi stylefrank lee bent wrote:they get the land concession and float a grandiose project, sell shares or use it as security.

There's the one between Sokha and Independence beaches, the one on Independence itself, and the one just south of Victory Beach.Anchor Moy wrote:Grandiose projects on the coast - just trying to keep up - these come to mind, but there must be more... and around PP is probably even more crazy.
