Preah Sihanouk Governor Mang Sineth pledged to continue resolving land disputes, addressing irregular construction and speeding up land-title issuance for residents. He made the pledge before Say Sam Al, Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction and head of the government working group for Preah Sihanouk, at the closing of the provincial administration’s 2025 work-review and 2026 planning conference last Saturday.
The governor said the provincial administration had worked attentively to resolve residents’ proposals, requests, complaints and protests transparently, accountably and fairly, without discrimination, factionalism, nepotism or political bias.
In 2025, the administration received 468 complaints and other requests. It resolved or mediated 37 cases, referred 87 to competent institutions, replied to 122 applicants, submitted 14 response reports to relevant ministries or institutions, retained 94 cases as files, recorded 74 other requests, and continued investigating, mediating and resolving 40 cases.
The province also declared systematic land-registration adjudication areas across all 111 villages. It measured 148,545 parcels and handed 100,944 land certificates to residents.
