Dayee Krahom Relocation Site




















above: street of houses, house that the owner added an internal wall, on-site garment factory, and real etate office (which is next to the 7NG office where they give credit for house titles for residents in the new location or in Dayee Krahom).

Information from the communities (Bording Block and New Site):

  • There is a woman who is organizing/protesting in Bording, has her own bull horn, etc, and says that 388 families do not want to move.
  • At the new site, the primary school is 8km away, according to a mother there, and the high school is as far or further.

    Information from 7NG:
  • At the new location site I was told that the families all have to agree to move, otherwise they do not get to keep their house. As long as 80% move, the rest will be sent out.
  • Once the families all agree to move, they will be issued titles and can sell or do what they want.
  • Families can sell their houses in Bording for $5,000 - $7,000 (this needs to be verified, and if possible agreed to in writing).
  • There are 2,000 houses in total that will be built, a large market, a large paved (tiled) public area, a police station, and a real estate office. Larges buses run daily for 1500R one-way.
  • There is a Korean-owned garment factory that employs 300 or 1000 people (the guard said 300, and Sothea from 7NG said 1000).
  • People in Bording can borrow money from 7NG now, as long as they have title to their property.
  • Some people staying behind in a portion of Bording is not an option.
  • Families who rent in Bording can rent at the new site, for $20 - $30 per month, and can work at the factory.
  • All this needs to be verified, and additional information added. Please posts and I will update.
