Greg Bloom from Phnom Penh :

This is a fine article but please get your facts straight.

"Mother Nature activist Meng Heng said the Sunshine Bay Hotel and Casino is severely polluting the water off of the southern tip of Koh Rong Samloem Island’s Independence beach."

Note: Sunshine Bay is not on Koh Rong Samloem island, it is on the mainland. Independence Beach is also on the mainland, not on "the southern tip of Koh Rong Samloem." You are correct in that Sunshine Bay is polluting Independence Beach, but neither of these are on or even near Koh Rong Samloem, which is one hour offshore by boat.

Please run a correction.

You also state that Jin Ding Casino is on Koh Rong Samloem. I cannot confirm this, but I suspect that this is also on the mainland because, as far as I am aware, there are no casinos on Koh Rong Samloem. Please check this and run a correction if it turns out to be wrong.

It's great that you are highlighting the horrors of Chinese investment, but unfortunately your factual errors call your credibility into question.

It's a dreadful sight
Where Chinese set their feet on.
Even Combodians have to fight
Too late and the Chinese just walk on.
