There is probably a group of MLVT/Immigration guys asking the same questions as us

'The one guy on 440/CEO said that...'

If you believe anything printed in the Khmer Times, then I have a friend in Ghana who is interested in sharing several billion dollars with you. Show at least a modicum of sense - there has been a crackdown but on workers, not on retirees, students, the unemployed, etc.

It was seem the Khmer Times article was a copy of a Xinhua article (http://www.khmertimeskh.com/news/13401/ ... ix-months/), which was likely written from the same government press release that was also announced through the government's media outlet AKP, the only difference being that the government said “applied” while Xinhua said “issued":

25,000 Foreigners Apply for Work Permits in Cambodia in First Semester
AKP Phnom Penh, July 22, 2015 –
Cambodia’s Minister of Labor and Vocational Training H.E. Ith Samheng has recently said that some 25,000 foreigners had applied for the work permits in Cambodia during the first six months of this year.
From January to June 2015, the number of foreigners who applied for the work permits saw an increase of about 5,000 people, he pointed out.
Most of them work in Cambodia in the fields of education, tourism, civil society organizations and so on.
During the same period, Cambodian authorities have deported over 1,200 undocumented immigrants of 41 nationalities.

KH (Cambodia) said this? If so, where? I haven't seen it. The reporter at Khmer Times said something like this, but there was no mention of KH (Cambodia) or any Cambodian official saying this. It was only the reporter.

If it's a Xinhua article - then it appears that the stated targets of the crackdown - i.e. Chinese and Korean firms - are those being cracked down on. Otherwise why would the Chinese press care about what goes on regarding work permits in Cambodia?

You maybe right about the Khmer Times. I don't know where you live but down here there is a crackdown on everybody. They are going to private residences now. You need to get your information straight, not what you believe is right. You seem to be a little contentious for no reason.

Regardless, the number is 25,000. rubbebaron was correct.

Xinhua reports regularly on Cambodia. It's actually a pretty good news source for Cambodia, especially stuff in government press releases, often breaking stories before the English press gets it out.

I'm being contentious mainly because you're full of shit. You keep pushing your agenda when the reality doesn't match that agenda. I don't really give a monkey's about your situation in Sihanoukville... I care about what's really going on for everyone.

You can cling to 25,000 out of 80,000 as a crackdown (which actually seems pretty poor if they were visiting places of employment but that's another story) but if that's only in workplaces and mainly Chinese and Koreans, and it appears that it is - then it's not relevant to the majority of CEO posters - no matter what you think and keep pushing.
