The chronic land dispute between Omlaing villagers and the Phnom Penh Sugar Co. belonging to CPP tycoon-senator-cum-land thief Ly Yong Phat has not ended yet. The villagers claimed that several of their families are now facing the loss of their rice fields.
On Sunday 09 May, O’Ponlov villagers in Omlaing commune, Thpong district, Kampong Speu province, indicated that, recently, several pieces of land clearing equipments belonging to Phnom Sugar Co. came to clear the village land and they even razed down a house belonging to one of the villagers.
Yim Sieng Hoy, a villager, said that the sugar company’s equipment started to clear the village land on 08 May. This land clearing operation affected more than 10 families in the village, and one of the houses in the village was also destroyed in spite of the fact that the villagers tried to stop them from clearing the land. The reason these equipments were so obstinate in their destruction was because they had about 100 soldiers to protect them.
