Kandal Province: While the real estate sector and economy are growing rapidly in Sa Ang District, Kandal Province, the issue of illegal construction is emerging as a worrying issue, with some constructions observed to be being built without proper permits and not complying with technical standards. In particular, a construction owned by Nhel Khleung in Tanu Village, Sa Ang Phnom Commune, Sa Ang District, Kandal Province. This is according to a source obtained by the media outlet Satisfied Media.
Local sources indicate that this problem not only disrupts the order of land management and urban planning, but also poses a risk to public safety and affects the aesthetics of the area. Past experience has shown that illegal construction can lead to serious crises, such as the building collapse in Sihanoukville province, which resulted in many deaths and injuries.
Regarding this illegal construction, Mr. Mi Pin, the head of Sa Ang Phnom commune, told reporters that he told the owner of the property in Tanu village, Sa Ang Phnom commune, Sa Ang district, named Nhel Khlong, to also apply for a permit because he saw that the construction was very large. He had also previously asked the team to come down and prohibit it, but at that time he did not participate because he had a traffic accident.
Regarding the above, Mr. Chap Palwat, Director of the Office of Land Management, Urban Planning, Construction and Land Administration of Sa Ang District, said that experts have already gone to prohibit and make a record to suspend construction. However, this claim has not been officially presented to the public yet.
Regarding the case, the source raised the question: If there is a real ban, why is the construction still active today? Is this due to a lack of monitoring or ineffective enforcement of the law?
Regarding this issue, Mr. Je Kim Hai, Governor of Sa Ang District, said that as a principle, now every new construction will be inspected and banned, although it is not yet known exactly in which location. The working group will inspect everything to see if there is a law or not. If there is no law, the procedure will be followed. If it is banned and not followed, we will report to the provincial working group for further action.
It is worth noting that regarding illegal construction in Sa Ang District, on the morning of March 26, 2026, His Excellency Hak Sok Makara, Deputy Governor of Kandal Province, inspected and implemented immediate suspension measures on a construction site built without a permit at the entrance to Sa Ang Phnom Temple in Prek Koy Commune, Sa Ang District. The construction is owned by individuals named Sun Ly and Chot Saran, has two floors and an area of approximately 306 square meters.
It is worth noting that on March 12, 2026, HE Hak Sok Makara emphasized that Kandal Province is experiencing rapid development, so construction management must be implemented strictly and correctly to avoid illegal construction and ensure public safety. HE also instructed specialized departments and local authorities to continue to publicize and guide construction owners on proper construction procedures to ensure standard construction and orderly development.
Despite the continuous measures and guidance, the problem of illegal construction in some areas of Sa Ang District continues to occur, indicating that law enforcement still needs to improve. In this regard, experts and public opinion see that the solution should not only rely on repression, but also include strengthening the inspection system, transparent law enforcement, and educating citizens to understand legal obligations. Illegal construction is not a sign of development, but a sign of ineffective management. Without strict and timely measures, Sa Ang District may face complex problems that will be difficult to recover from in the future.
The public is calling on the leaders of Kandal province and Mr. Sok Kannarith, Director of the Department of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction of Kandal province, to send experts to inspect and strictly implement legal measures against those illegal construction sites and construction sites.
