The True Cost Of Turning Lakes Into Land In Cambodia | True Cost | Insider Business

Sand is the most exploited natural resource on earth, after water. In Cambodia, the government is using sand to fill in lakes around its capital, Phnom Penh, to create prime real estate for villas and shopping malls. Now, one community is fighting to save their homes on the city's largest natural lake.

    I had no idea that people couldn't even own land until 2001!! I'm only 3min into the video and very glad I clicked on it, it's been on my recommended list for 3 weeks and I kept scrolling past it as I've never travelled further east than Montenegro. What happened in this country that went from living in a tradition way to destroying lakes locals rely on so much, to build luxury property? Who's buying the property, locals or immigrants from the west? Is the tourism growing this much?

    @@anabellepreis1920 that's hard to tell who's buying it. Foreigners can only buy property first floor and up. Or you need a company with a Khmer national and cannot own more than 49%. If I look at sihanoukville once a small seaside town, I can't believe my eyes. Same thing happened there. Now countless skeletons of unfinished large buildings are just standing there. The investors fled. In Phnom Penh a lot of condos are sitting empty. I can't wrap my head around it😕

    How many ashamed and apologetic governments have you witnessed?? They should be ashamed but never have and never will, so what's next? Holing someone will knock on your door and solve your problems or come up with a plan? The nature of people is such that no changes will be made unless their current situation is unbearable, and even then some are too lazy, have too many excuses, and end up accepting lower standards of already bad situation. That's why shwab said you will own nothing and be happy, he is counting on the majority to gradually accept living worse and worse.

    That's because people kept allowing government interfere in every aspect of society! The speech has been altered to appease certain groups, even a definition of a woman has been changed officially vocabularies! Some pawn in a form of an awkward child pressed on feelings and people then convinced their governments to tax them into poverty to stop the sun from being hot! The ones that keep pushing the boundaries will keep doing so, unless a small percentage of people that see through all the lies do something. The most awful thing is, the majority of sheep that either see how messed up this is and do nothing because they're too lazy, too dependent on the system, or don't understand anything and believe the lies to the point where they start abusing anyone that doesn't agree with the narrative they're used to. Finally, I think it's time for each person to accept a simple fact - everything that's good and bad that happened is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY and only you can make it worse or better. Stop relying others, especially government that never has or will care about you, and start surrounding yourself with people with same values and goals, form a community and grow. I don't see any other way.

    The elites in Cambodia holds many powers over the people. They can make things the way they want, and I can assume that the land that was mapped on the map that goes to the elites are just part of the city’s development. It’s a threat to the environment, but there’s nothing we can do. As a Cambodian who lives in Phnom Penh my self, seeing this is just horrific to watch. I always go to that lake, everytime I go there the land just keeps increasing in size. Government seizing property from people’s are just sad to watch. It’s a growing issue in Cambodia. We don’t have the rights to speak out, because if we do we’d me imprisoned. You need to hide the truth to survive out here…

    The leaks that government turning into land was a toxic black sewage waste water. Some leak are natureal but peoples there doesn't know how to protect the nature, They release dirty water, poops into the leaks.This is not a natural water that peoples can uses or make any farm on it. The leakes also created bad environment, bad smell and damage health of the peoples living around too. So the government have to do their job to make the development. I understand what "Insider Business" worring but They're make up story and pretending love the nature by mix fake story with true story. That's not a good way and i hated to see they're trying to spread fake news to the world.

    Wish this piece included ways for the international community to support these residents facing forced displacement around these lakes -- like applying more pressure for the UN to investigate, boycotting cement production using sand dredging from the Mekong, or ways to support activists like Thun Rotha.

    Here is the problem of incompetent officials, instead of shifting the problems of settlers to business, officials have pinned these problems on the state. Do you want land? No problem - here is a list of people, they need a new place of residence, build them a house in a new place or give them a good plot. It is necessary to negotiate with these people independently. As soon as we make sure that you have solved the problems with the settlers, the lands are yours.

I try my best to believe that humanity is not strictly bound to good or evil, but when I when I see such unbridled robbery of the very sand and water which people have built their lives on for hundreds of years it really makes me scratch my head at the deeply problematic and saddening potentials of the greed of humanity. Can we please just start mining asteroids, watching this happen everywhere is too much for my tiny little mind to cope with or comprehend.
