Gov’t Rejects 1,000ha Natural Lake Acquisition Proposal in Lvea Em District

The Cambodian government has rejected an investment proposal from the private sector to buy 1,000 hectares of a natural lake in Lvea Em district in Kandal province and has ordered the area be kept for public use.

According to a statement from the government’s cabinet dated 24 August, a private company named Chnas Chnas Real Estate has requested the acquisition of the aforementioned natural lake to build a new satellite city project together with other infrastructure.

However, attached with notices from PM Samdech Hun Sen, the cabinet office rejected the project and ordered the natural lake kept for public use.

The cabinet also requested the relevant authorities to dredge the lake further for better water storage capacity.

The letter also ordered the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, and Kandal Provincial Municipality to stop receiving and proposing similar kinds of projects within the area to the government for approval.
