Boeng Kak development

VIA KI: Xinhua moves the Boeng Kak lake development story forward ever so slightly.

An enterprise from China’s Yunnan province in Phnom Penh on Friday signed two agreements with its Cambodian partner to co-develop two real estate projects in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville.

Yin Tengyun and Lau Ming Kan, respectively on behalf of Yunnan Southeast-Asia Economy and Technology Investment Industrials and Cambodia’s Shukaku Company, signed these agreements in presence of Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, Cambodian Minister of Commerce Cham Prasidh, Governor of China’s Yunnan Province Qin Guangrong, and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Zhang Jinfeng. [...]

Under the agreements, the two sides will cooperate to develop the Boeng Kak Lake area in Phnom Penh into a multi-purpose living and recreation center called the New City of East, and establish an eco-garden in Sihanoukville for tourism and other commercial uses.

Details of these agreements were not disclosed.

According to the Wikipedia, “Shukaku is said to be the corrupted spirit of a Sand monk turned demon.”

Surely that’s a coincidence, right?
