One of HE's closest allies just lost her EU passport
But she's just got a nice consolation prize from the big man himself:
Source:More than 8,000 square meters of central Phnom Penh land will be granted to Choeung Sopheap, one of the country’s most prominent tycoons whose firms are known for filling in Boeng Kak lake and previously receiving a 300,000-hectare land concession.
The land transfer, disclosed in a government sub-decree seen by VOD this week, transfers plots of land near the NagaWorld casino. The land currently contains two public toilets, a police station, military police office, car parking and a grassy plaza.
The sub-decree, dated June 25 and signed by Prime Minister Hun Sen, says the land transfer will be carried out by the Interior Ministry and Phnom Penh City Hall.
It grants three plots of land to Sopheap: 2,321 square meters opposite NagaWorld along Sihanouk Blvd, 5,000 square meters to the north opposite the Cambodiana Hotel along Sisowath Quay, and 941 square meters near the Swan Bridge to Koh Pich.
Government spokesperson Phay Siphan said he did not know about the transfer in detail, but if Hun Sen had agreed to it, it must be important.
