The Kompong Speu provincial administration has announced its ambition to transform the area around the international standard stadium in Kampong Speu into a satellite city, including a new rehabilitation centre and a modern film studio.

H.E. Vy Samnang, Kampong Speu Administrator told Construction & Property Magazine on 18 May 2020, that “the land around the Kampong Speu stadium is wide and beautiful, so we want to transform the area into a satellite city.”

“According to the plan, we want to put a rehabilitation centre in that area, about 1km away from the stadium, because there is some space left there…We can serve that area as a rehabilitation centre to train the detainees to learn some skills, so that when they come out of the prison they can have proper jobs and will not have to commit crime again.”

“We also want to build a film studio there. The one that we have now is not so good, so we want to have another film studio with a more modern design. We want to expand our province’s potential and the size of the city,” he added.

Recently, construction started on the Kompong Speu international standard stadium on an area of ​​4 hectares, located in Tamol village in Chabar Mon town, Kampong Speu province at a cost of US$ 2 million. (Read more)
