Royal Group’s Sihanoukville port to be razed

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

It never was. If fact, power is probably more consolidated now than anytime since 93, and they still can't lok thoms to listen.

Hmmm.
Royal Group Fails to Sway Gov’t Over Jetty [BUT...]

...Un Thy, director of the provincial land management department, said it would be difficult to force Royal Group’s hand.
“The letter clearly says to de­molish the jetty, but who can im­plement it?”

Committee unaffected by Kith Meng’s appeal

Cambodian tycoon Kith Meng’s Royal Group failed to persuade a high-level meeting of government and Preah Sihanouk officials to resume construction of a 40-metre port at Otres Beach, and will instead have to explore the use of other locations along the coastline.

The conglomerate, which was ordered on January 20 by the National Committee for Cambodia Coastal Management and Development to cease construction of the jetty for violating costal development guidelines and for lack of a permit, will now study the cost of temporarily using facilities at the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port to assist its development activities on Koh Rong island.

“The result of the meeting was to explore the cost of using the some parts of Sihanoukville port to transport construction material to serve the Koh Rong development,” said Pen Sophal, secretary of state at the Ministry of Land Management.

The meeting, held on Friday, was attended by Minister of Land Management Im Chhum Lim, Tourism Minister Thong Khon, Council for Development of Cambodia’s secretary general Sok Chenda Sophea and other provincial officials.

Sophal added that it was suggested that Royal Group explore the possibility of using two other locations to build their port – Tomnop Roloak commune in Stung Hav district or Koh Preap near the international port.
