The Cambodia-Viet border committee planted a number of border posts in the Ponhea Krek district region, Kampong Cham province. However, a number of villagers are claiming that these border post planting led to the loss of their rice fields and homes to the benefit of Vietnam. This is what happened to Anlong Chrey village, the area where border post no. 125 is currently being planted.
