Compay sent the authorities went without receiving any answer.
Mrs. Hang Seng, a Boeung Kak resident, who came to the ceremony said: “My Boeung Kak is simply flooded out! They just wanted to kick the residents out! Now, listen up, brother, we went to the city hall, they do not resolve this issue for us, and everywhere else, nobody is resolving this issue. How could they resolve this issue? After all, they are the one who set up the master plan and they are the one who sold the lands.”
The residents indicated that the Shukaku Company pumped sand to fill Boeung Kak Lake and this led to flooding of the housing in that area during this entire week. The situation brought hardship on the housing dwellers and roads are also flooded leading to difficult road traffic, but local and city hall officials refused to resolve this problem.
