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

[@ashdicolex]

Ashamed that we, Cambodians can't make a change and I'm glad that Insider is making a video about this because speaking out against what's happening is dangerous here.

[@anabellepreis1920]

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?

[@RikHendriksDutchCo]

@@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😕

Thank Insider for this documentary. As a Cambodian citizen, we can see clearly about what's happening. But the problem is, the freedom of expression in Cambodia has limited.

[@anabellepreis1920]

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.

[@sendoh7x]

They don't care. As easy as that

[@chosenone5536]

They don’t care once they have the power. Just like any government officials in the world.

[@BinneReitsma]

Even here in the Netherlands (which should be developed by 'their' terms) we as a people are driven out of our lands and homes because of businesses plans, not to mention our farmers. Even though we are a different kind of people, we are the same, we need to fight our governments or we will face the same fate We will own nothing and 'be happy', but we won't be happy, we need to fight for our right.

[@ryanbest4162]

Hier ook in Suriname!

[@anabellepreis1920]

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.

What will the UN do? Send their rapist peacekeepers? Or write a tweet about it?

[@ounzarine5487]

I notice suffering for this country and people, is not over yet! After the bloody rule of the Khmers rouges, here people are again with threats to be evacuated from their land......as previously in the seventeenths! Nothing has changed! Poor people!

[@AlexandreAuCambodge]

You should add rouges, after Khmers, though. That's just the name of the people, if you don't.

[@ounzarine5487]

@@AlexandreAuCambodge Ok. Thank you for the precision! Indeed, I did not know!

[@waveiscool6978]

[@Cattaaliyah]

[@thesilentone4024]

Its almost like the whole dam world can't figure out going up can help if done right.

[@Smith.2077catlover]

[@ruiutomy1]

[@kaiyaom2195]

Who needs water and the life it it brings when you can make more money?

[@spHDfilms1]

Just another reason why I don’t wanna visit Cambodia because of the corrupted government…

[@freebiesdesign]

well the natural lake is consider a national property. The Building that built in the lake is illegal. The reason people can build their houses in the lake is because of corruption.

[@bonniegierach5027]

When will the greed STOP?!

[@totalxxownagexx5087]

I'll activate my bankai to help

[@cebubikebootcamp]

5 million export(Cambodia) vs 775 million (Singapore), that's a lot of money for whoever has it. 770Million.

[@kol257]

[@anthonyfn]

[@xBox360BENUTZER]

I've been aware of the "sand timer" problem for a few years now, but I've never witnessed in such unleashed exploitative and vicious vision of capitalism. 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.

[@urfriendlyDvarapala]

The truth is sad 💔

[@d.o.2115]

This is so damn sad… and all for what? Personal and private benefit. Selling the public good that supports the livelihood of already marginalized communities to further constrain them from supporting themselves. From a social and environmental perspective, the future of communities around these lakes is not looking like a prospective world class city …

[@touchheng2728]

I feel bad for both sides of the situation. Seems like Cambodia society is free for all, no one knows the boundaries of laws.

[@billylyf6995]

Mother nature will teach them that water has to go somewhere all this land will be flooded soon enough.

[@sotsoeun3947]

Painful to watch the video but true

[@domq1543]

Cambodia government should also do something about tourist kidnaps and scams!!!

[@ogloc636]

Phnom Penh needs to focus on the crime rate first if it wants to join the elite cities in south east Asia and Asia.

[@Katalowins]

Not gonna lie that mall looks nice.

[@mhaz1862]

😆

[@Kitsune-ge8cc]

Just one good storm and those former lakes will flood the properties or erode away

[@bluesun-2066]

We don't​ need that​ but we can't​ do anything... We need to shut up to save our life However​ it's​ hurt.
