Occheuteal development is halted by the highest authority

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.

So what happened at this meeting?

As per Duncan except sharp visual attendance was taken.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

HE has left and the gate blocking the way to the beach is back up :(
It has big Chinese writing on it. I don't think it says WELCOME.

Cambodia is a country run by greedy morons, it has always been so.

This is utterly insane.
How can they bulldoze the country's premier beach destination and then change their minds?
That is insane beyond belief even by Cambodian standards.
They're offering to rent it back now, to the people they kicked off.
I’m pretty sure that’s not true.
Well, you're wrong. My wife went to the meeting.

If you want to know what exactly was said, paraphrased as I had to spend a good 20 minutes getting the information out of my wife, it is the following:

The fence is coming down
There will be something for all the previous renters to rent, maybe at a discount, the exact details of the deal are undefined
What it will be is undefined and who will pay for the rebuild is undefined
Now watch this drive

So HE did definitely say it would be rented back to the previous owners.

Most of previous owners lost their capital and have moved to other parts of Cambodia or their home country..

Can't see many of them taking up the offer. However its a prime spot so new owners will line up. Sadly Chinese!!!!

Khmer at a crossroad.
.
They want Sihanoukville for themselves and benefit from their natural assets of just hand it over to the Chinese and let them live off their heritage.!!!

Sihanoukville is in not booming. The place was busier before the place gifted to the Chinese.
