Bus firms told to freeze prices

April 11, 20179 yr

Bus and transport companies have been told not to increase fares and to prioritize passenger safety by obeying traffic laws over Khmer New Year this weekend. Last year, 65 people were killed on the roads over Khmer New Year, while 214 people were seriously injured and 265 suffered minor injuries.

Touch Chan Kosal, a secretary of state at the Transport Ministry, warned that traffic accidents always rise over the festive season, particularly due to speeding and drunk driving. Speaking at a meeting with transport companies yesterday, the government official urged firms to make sure staff strictly adhere to traffic laws and avoid alcohol or substance abuse.

Mr. Chan Kosal also said companies should freeze prices at their normal rate, or give New Year discounts to benefit workers. He said: “They are private companies and we do not have laws that forbid them from changing their prices, because they have the right to run a competitive business.

Farage banks £270k gold deal as Labour turns up heat

bannork · Thursday at 08:48 PM5 days

Nigel Farage has declared earning £270,000 for promoting gold bullion, making it the largest outside payment he has registered since entering Parliament and reigniting scrutiny over his lucrative earnings beyond Westminster. The Reform UK leader disclosed the payment in the latest Register of Members' Financial Interests, stating it was for work as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion over a three-month period, averaging around four hours a month.

The World Cup Was A Great Success Until THAT Happened.

I detest Trump for a variety of reasons, and now he's given me one more. Despite the grave misgivings I, and many, many more, had going into this WC ( ICE, the visa issues, a top referee turned away, the treatment of the Iranian team etc.) the WC was turning into a great success, bringing people from all over the world together, including lots of Americans, many of who seemed to develop an interest in, and an enjoyment of, the beautiful game. Partly, this was because of an American side that pl

US woman's UK move changed everything

An American woman who swapped life in the United States for the UK says the move completely changed her outlook—and left her convinced she'd been sold the wrong idea of success for years. 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

in view of US 250 how do you look at history?

unblocktheplanet replied to kwilco's topic in General Topics

I have been reading a very thorough and interesting book by Donny Gluckstein, A People's History of the Second World War: Resistance versus Empire. Of course, the author quotes both Zinn and Terkel! The thesis is that two parallel wars were taking place. The official military war of Allies against Axis that was essentially a imperialist war from both sides. The second war was that waged by the underground people's resistance. Fascinating stuff. "The USA was equally cynical in its approach to peace. As one leading politician put it: ‘As things are now going, the peace we will make, the peace we seem to be making, will be a peace of oil, a peace of gold, a peace of shipping ... without moral purpose ... .’ Devoid of moral purpose, maybe, but Hull, Roosevelt’s Secretary of State, explained the USA would lead ‘a new system of international relationships ... primarily for reasons of pure national self-interest." That continues to this day.

Are you NUTS? Of course, I knew, many years ago, what an ellipsis was, and is. You underestimate my genius, as usual. Did you imagine that anyone graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, the HOME of the famous Linguistics Genius, Noam, would not know? Give me a break, Sir. Concerning the Dunning Kruger effect, how could anyone not know? This has become a Buzz Term in recent years. As for being the dumbest person in the room: I have been there, done that....and..... This is why I restrict my musings to the AseanNow Forum. I am tired of being the dumbest person in the room. Here on TV, I am the smartest person in the room. I love TV, for this very reason. But, I must tell you: The students at Penn are NOT as smart as they once were, in my day.

Camerata's Guide To The Permanent Residence Process

Maestro replied to camerata's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

I'd like to update myself on the stamps put by immigration into the passport of a Permanent Resident. Does a Permanent Resident nowadays still need to get a stamp (endorsement, non-quota immigrant visa, re-entry permit or whatever it may be labelled nowadays) in his passport before leaving Thailand so as not to forfeit his permanent residence status? If so, what does this stamp look like? What is the TM form number to apply for it? What is the fee for it? What does the arrival stamp being given upon arrival in Thailand with such an entry permit look like?

Farage banks £270k gold deal as Labour turns up heat

Betting odds slashed on Count Binface to beat Farage in Clacton Count Binface is now being quoted as the second favourite at 9/2 by William Hill, as money went on him to pull off a shock victory as the anti-Farage candidate in the by-election called by the Reform UK leader. The comedic candidate has pledged to make corners in football properly refereed, end subsidy for food and drink in parliament, conscript people who play loud music on public transport and force cyclists who break the highway code to ride unicycles instead. But with only the Monster Raving Looney Party, Rejoin the EU Party and Reclaim leader and actor Laurence Fox saying they will run as well, Count Binface has become a focus of a potential tactical voting campaign to oust Mr Farage. Betting odds slashed on Count Binface to beat Farage in Clacton What if Farage has had enough and dropped out the election, went to the States, whatever? Perhaps many of the Farage supporters would flock to Laurence Fox. Still plenty of publicity for the 'alternatives', lol.
