Lim Mov, 65, a resident of Tuol Kork district’s Boeung Kak II commune, walks past a house marked for demolition yesterday. Yesterday, 18 affected families rejected a compensation offer of US$1,235 cash and a 5-metre by 12-metre replacement land plot in Dangkor district. Residents are asking for $1,000 per square metre in compensation for their homes, which are to be razed to make way for an access road to the adjacent Boeung Kak lakeside development.
