"The complaint letter below, signed by 25 local community members, was written in July 2011 and raises villagers? concerns related to the construction of the Kanchanaburi ? Tavoy [Dawei] highway linking Thailand and the Tavoy deep sea port. Villagers described concerns that the highway would bisect agricultural land and destroy crops under cultivation worth 3,280,500 kyat (US $3,657). In response to these concerns, local community members formed a group called the ?Village and Public Sustainable Development? to represent villagers? concerns and request compensation."
