Boeung Kak Contd.
It has been raining heavily for over 24h. The water levels of what is left of Boeung Kak lake have risen even more. Little by little people are being forced out of their homes, to the great satisfaction of Shukaku Inc. which is actively contributing to the rising water levels by pumping sand in the lake to develop the 133Ha. Besides the 4000 families which will be evicted, I wonder by who and for how long Shukaku Inc. will be remembered as a cynical company once the towers are built and people happily spend their money in the shopping malls…
