geovalin Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Cambodians staying along the Cambodia-Vietnam border have been told not to lease their land for cultivation to Vietnamese citizens. In giving this directive yesterday, Interior Minister Sar Kheng said that some Cambodians are lazy to farm their land and lease them to Vietnamese so that they can collect rentals. He added their action could lead to land dispute issues along the border and this should be prevented at all costs. “We must prevent border disputes and for this provincial authorities and relevant officials and institutions must look into it and prevent Cambodians from leasing their land to Vietnamese,” said Kheng, adding that the law clearly states that they cannot lease or rent their lands to foreign citizens. “These people have been cultivating their land for a long time. Just because they are lazy to cultivate, they lease and collect rentals from Vietnamese. This is a problem that needs to be stopped. It is also a matter of territorial integrity,” said Kheng. Royal Academy of Cambodia president Sok Touch said yesterday that he took a walk along the Cambodia-Vietnam border in the provinces neighbouring Vietnam and people cannot lease land within a kilometre from the border. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501045915/cambodians-at-border-told-to-stop-leasing-land-to-vietnamese/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
