I would believe that the same 50 meter rule that governs the Snookyville beach shacks would also govern the building of structures in a National Park that is suppose to be owned by the people of Cambodia and not corrupt companies/developers backed by the government of China

Duncan: Show me the permits and impact report you base your argument on. BTW/ the beach shacks that the government is going to rip out in Snooky are built of wood, so in your way of thinking these shacks are made of wood so non-permanent? You believe that and I've got a wonderful bridge here in Snookyville to sell you. (or a real deal on some beach shacks.)

Sorry, it must be the cultural difference. I come from a country where you have to prove someone is guilty, not where you have to prove you're innocent.

BTW did it ever come to your mind that this walkway could be made by the national park to protect the corals around the island?

No one has shown me any proof that the walkway is legal. All I see is laws saying it is not. Show me some proof.

The report found that the Kingdom’s coastal mangrove swamps were being filled in and titles were being illicitly issued for the newly formed land in Preah Sihanouk, Kep, Kampot and Kong Kong provinces.
“Our ministry asked for intervention over the anarchic grabbing of mangroves happening in the coastal provinces,” Agriculture Ministry spokesman Lor Raksmey said yesterday.

Buon Narith, Preah Sihanouk provincial coordinator for rights group Licadho, yesterday said that in past two years, at least 100 hectares of mangrove had been filled in during land grabs in Prey Nop district and Sihanoukville alone
