View from the other side of Dey Krohom

Let me introduce you to Okhna (honorary title) SREY Sothea. Born in 1957 from ordinary peasants, he is the head of 7NG company who will build these two towers on the Dey Krohom land.

Some 25 km from the center of Phnom Penh, and next to his garment factory employing 1900 people, he built houses (3mx6m) for the people living in the Dey Krohom slum and for other soon to be evicted slum dwellers.
