How to make ALL Cambodians Rich (er)

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

give each cambodian citizen an inalienable title of 5 acres that may be exchanged but not sold. make it heritable, but not divisible.

each hard titled block should be located on the best and most viable land owned by the state with water all year.

obviously this would have to be located in places like mondulkiri and rattanakiri on the already deforested land laid waste by the timber industry. the land currently being reclaimed by the government from concessionaires would be a good start.

you could means test it and address the poorest first.

those mountain areas have a high potential to produce food that would replace a big seasonal import component from VN.

call me loco.
