Reply to this commentI strongly support U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) comments about Southeast Asia provide no basic right to protect its citizen from land grab. Laos and Cambodia are having the same problem.

Yes, you provided titles to these people with a cost when you are supposed to give them title free of charge as the law says or at a minimal cost. I know many poor people try to get their titles but could not afford to pay corrupt officials. And these people are the ones being taken advantage of by Hun Sin cronies because they were forced to sell their land cheap because they didn't have title. They take their farmland and evict them from their homes where they have owned and lived there for decades.
This corrupt government tells so many lies people have stopped believing them. I've gone through this corrupt government myself, trying to sell my property. I was fortunate to have money to pay these corrupt thugs. I hated but I had no choice because I had to raise money and get out fast. The schemes and lies they came up with are unbelievable. And they tell you with a smile on their faces.
