View of Phnom Penh

2009-06-12T02:28:00.000-07:00

Looking down from the plane on the way back from Malaysia to Phnom Penh city of Cambodia, you will see a nice or maybe not so nice view of many building and including Boeung Kok Lake located at the Heart of Phnom Penh being filled. Thousand of family surrounding are facing eviction with unfair compensation; millions of people living in the city are counted as affected people since the water flood is coverage everywhere during raining. (shot on June 09, 2009, 4:00pm)

Government of Cambodia has signed the concession project to a private company to develop this plot with hotel, super market and so on for $ 79 million. Civil society especially NGOs working for the housing rights and human rights such as Licadho, CLEC, ... have been questioning that $ 79 MILLION FOR WHO? This huge amound of money should be fairly compensated to those families living surrounding the lake but why the people are still fighting for their rights and reasonable compensation? Rights to housing, Rights to life, so on is existing in Cambodia Society yet? From my point of view, I would say no because there are many eviction cases to thousands of families has happened and continueing to happend and normally those evicted people are living in a small tent, no water, no electricity, no job, no health service, no rubbish collection, etc. The big question mark to me is WHY? WHY? WHY? and HOW? HOW? Why is it happening? How can we together deal with this issues?

About me!

Hi every body living in this world!!

This is a new user of blogspot. I am not expert on how to use it yet but I am learning how now. Please spend a few minutes to read my blog and do not forget to commence on it or asking me for more information.

I will start to post some information from now on.

Lets read about me!!!!!!

This is Mr. Heng Socheat, Cambodia. You everyone can call me Mr. Socheat. I was born in 1985 in Kandal Province, Cambodia. I finish high school, grade 12 in 2002, then go to university of philosophy at Royal University of Phnom Penh in Phnom Penh, Capital city of Cambodia. I graduate from university in June 2006, then participate in the International Youth Exchange Program enttiled "Youth Partners in Development" between Sweden and Cambodia. During taking part in this program, I have spent 3 months working and living at my lovely host family in Battambang and other 3 months at my host family in Sweden. I gain many great experiences and knowledge from the program. for more information about the program, please go to www.ciu.se of course it is Swedish web but you can also go to English version.

I finish the program on December 2007 and come back to my/our country, Cambodia.

I have started working at one Japanese NGO enttiled "Shanti Volunteer Association" called SVA in Cambodia on February 2007 in the position as Slum Children Project Assistant. SVA is one of leading Japanese NGO in Cambodia which is supporting primary education. www.sva.jp

My dream......... Oh I wish to be a good project manager or people's representative. I want to take part in our nation development through both government and non-government agency. I think everyone wish to take part in our nation development also but I and you are lacking of opportunity or we can say time is coming slowly. We must be in some position or have some responsilities to response. Most of our representatives are lacking of capacity and too corrupted that why our country is slowly developed. For my idea, the only way to faster the development is to give opportunity to the young people who have strong capacity and upgrated ideas to act. Older people must resign because you are too old and nothing you can improve. Lets young people response to their generation by handing over your responsibilities to them. Many thanks if you can!!!!!! Cambodia will be the greatest country if you, too old people, have resigned.

Wish Cambodia and Cambodian the best.
