The land dispute over more than 50 hectares in Kandal province between Prime Minister Hun Sen’s younger sister and the real estate Tycoon, Seang Chanheng was resolved after Chanheng agreed to hand the land back to the premier’s younger sister as the legal property owner of the land. 

The solution for the land dispute facilitated by the Senior Minister Chea Sophara, the Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction via the Ministry’s cadastral and geography officials with participation from both parties on January 23, 2023. 


According to the directive dated January 5, 2023 of the Council of Ministers , Seang Chanheng and other accomplices were allegedly accused with “use of forged public documents” in occupying and seizing the land belonging to Hun Bunthoeun and Heav Lon committed in November 2022. 

The land is located in a government’s airport master plan-construction area in Kandal province’s Sa-ang Phnom district, Sa-ang Phnom commune. 

The victims, Hun Bunthoeun and Heav Lon, sued Seang Chanheng and other accomplices to the Council of Ministers for interventions. 



On December 29, 2022 from both the Prime Minister Hun Sen and Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng, the Council of Ministers on January 5 made a decision and ordered the Minister of Interior, Kandal provincial police chief, and the Governor of Kandal province to take legal action against Seang Chanheng and other accomplices in accordance with the law. 

However, on January 5 the prime minister revoked the order. 



According  to the agreement between the two parties,   the two parties agreed to end the dispute. 

Seang Chanheng, the general director of the Heng Development Company, handed the land back to Bun Bunthoeun (the premier’s younger sister) and Heav Lon, the joint owners of 50.8 hectares in Tuol Sala village, Sa-ang Phnom commune, Kandal province’s Sa-ang district. 

The two parties also agreed to withdraw their various lawsuits that were been lodged within two weeks of the agreement.
