Prek Takeo (Cambodia) (AFP) – For thousands of Cambodians, the economic uplift promised by the $1.7 billion Funan Techo canal counts for little in the face of potential displacement. Many who live in the project’s path stand to lose their homes with little notice and, as yet, little government assurance that compensation will be paid. Lim Tong Eng is one of those worrying that he’ll be left without a home and lacking in money to buy land and build a replacement.
