According to state media, about 250 other Vietnamese workers were rescued from unscrupulous employers in Cambodia in the first half of this year

Dozens of Vietnamese casino workers allegedly forced to toil without pay in Cambodia have fled back to their homeland by swimming across a river, authorities in Phnom Penh said Friday. About 40 staff with the Golden Phoenix Entertainment Casino in Kandal province – which neighbours Vietnam – fought off security guards to escape, leaving one missing after being swept away by the current, Vietnamese state media reported.

“These people might have been here working illegally,” Cambodian Interior Minister Sar Kheng told reporters. “They were promised salaries, but they did not get what they were promised … They crossed back to Vietnam because they could not reach a deal. They fled the place.” He said Cambodian police had detained a casino manager and were investigating the incident.

One 20-year-old victim said casino security guards attacked the group with batons and iron sticks as they tried to flee. “Our four months being cheated while working at a casino in Cambodia were like hell,” she told the VnExpress news site, adding that she was forced to work 14-hour days.

Care / residential / retirement home?

I asked a few months back about a fit to fly certificate for my (now 95 years young) neighbour. Sadly, due to his age and failing health, a realisation has set in, for him and his family, that staying here for his final days may be his better option. Right now his family are funding full time care in his own condo, but are now contemplating if a care home would be a better option. Can anyone recommend any places local to Pattaya? And, if possible, approximate costs for a live in resident in

Mindy Hickson says living in Britain has shown her what she calls "the simple life" and challenged everything she once believed about happiness. Sharing her experience on her YouTube channel, The Hickson Diaries, Mindy listed seven reasons why she believes life in the UK offers a different way of living. Her c

At a recent Oversite hearing on the SPLC. After a bit of round & round Q&A from Fair, Gill said the SPLC has referred to the Totenkopf as a "racist skinhead symbol", Yet this same organization now finds itself soft pedaling its association with a Dem Senate candidate in Maine who proudly wore this Nazi SS death’s head tattoo for years before covering it up. The hypocrisy , the SPLC eagerly brands conservatives and ordinary Americans as "extremists" for far less, but suddenly gets to

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w
