The news follows Alro Secretary-General Secretary-General Vinaroj Sapsongsuk announcing last Friday (Nov 13) that holders of SorPorKor land may now develop their plots into apartment buildings, gas stations and food-processing plants, among other developments. So-called “SorPorKor land” became available through Alro after the agency was formed under the Land Reform Act of 1975. The land-reform project intended to provide poor farmers with what was deemed to be degraded forest areas so that they could eke out a living growing crops on state land.

JusticeGB Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Disgraceful the land was given to help the poor. They borrow against the land can't pay back what they have borrowed and it lands up in the hands of the rich who can now freely develop it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
