Well done, he's an obnoxious selfish twat who adds nothing to the forum except his over inflated ego. Good riddance.

Why has the Cambodian government made tens of thousands of ethnic Vietnamese people stateless?

- Keo Samoeun has helped construct dozens of buildings throughout Phnom Penh. In the past, he repaired villas damaged during the Khmer Rouge era and he is currently working on a Cao Dai temple, where he also practices the religion from Vietnam. However, the walls he builds have a sturdier foundation in Phnom Penh than the bricklayer himself, who has Cambodian and Vietnamese heritage but no official, permanent identification in either nation.

Amid decades of shifting borders and intertwined histories, tens of thousands of Cambodian citizens claim some degree of Vietnamese heritage. But the Cambodian government is stripping many of these people of their citizenship, playing into deeply-rooted social conflicts between the two nations.

At the end of last year, ahead of national elections this July, the Cambodian government embarked on a campaign to silence opposition leaders, dismantle independent media and disengage from civil society-led pro-democracy efforts, stemming from Prime Minister HE’s dubious warnings that opposing parties and foreign NGOs are cultivating a violent overthrow of the government.

Among these crackdowns, the Immigration Department began to revoke what it described as “improper” identification documents from more than 70,000 people, mostly of Vietnamese origin.

According to VNExpress news, over 1880 undocumented people (including some ethnic Chinese) were deported in 2017.

There is no clear estimate on the number of people of Vietnamese origin living in Cambodia nor how many have officially obtained Cambodian citizenship, but many of those who were not born in the country maintain they have lived in Cambodia for decades, according to a 2013 report by the Jesuit Refugee Service Cambodia on the legal status of Cambodia’s ethnic Vietnamese minority population.

The recent document purges started in December 2017 in Kampong Chhnang province in central Cambodia, where thousands of ethnic Vietnamese live along and on the Tonlé Sap lake. It then spread to Phnom Penh, specifically targeting areas with large Vietnamese populations.

The Cambodian government, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment, stated earlier this year that any ethnic Vietnamese person who is currently facing deportation will be granted a two-year residency card if they can prove they have lived in Cambodia since at least 2012. In theory, such residents will then be able to apply for citizenship after seven years.

However, the documentation purge forges a paradox for Vietnamese-Cambodians: they lose permanent legal status they previously had in Cambodia because of their Vietnamese heritage, but the Vietnamese government will not give them legal status either because they cannot prove their eligibility.

Hairdressers Arrested !
21 June 2018
PHNOM PENH - Phnom Penh immigration police raided Central Market (Psar Thmei) this morning at 10am in search of foreigners working in Cambodia without the correct documents.

Fifteen Vietnamese nationals were detained, among them, 8 women who are hairdressers, or who were working in the beauty salons at the market.

All those detained were taken to the Department of Immigration to have their cases processed.

The National Assembly on Thursday approved a draft law on nationality which, if passed, would see foreigners prosecuted for illegally obtaining Cambodian identification cards or passports. Penalties are as high as 10 years in prison.

Wouldn't it be great, then, if at the same time the National Assembly would rule that foreigners can ONLY obtain EOSs from the relevant government body (either in person or online), at the correct rate?

Seems to me that you got banned for repetitive arsholism for this post here the-rest-the-world/celebrity-chef-antho ... ml#p253091
It's noteworthy that General Mac's post banning you got 7 Likes. Sort of says something doesn't it?

If you don't like our playground why don't you just fuck off elsewhere?


Ban hammer at the ready . . . .

[Note to Mods & Admin: If this a-hole wants to play games, feel free to give him 7 days]


*** Oh, looks like FLB beat us to it. Okay, let's give him 7 days more in 24 hours from now.

What would it cost (hypothetically) to permaban every sock that these muppets create while they're banned, and reset their ban? I for one am sick of the fatuous drivel these idiots create while the adults are talking.

(Roz, we can take it as given that you don't like my negative posts and you've already corrected me - thanks)

My bro used to work in Business Registration in Melbourne. He told us about a trench digging business that wanted to register the name Far Canal. And another one was suppliers of billiard tables and accessories that wanted to register Far Cue.

Dinks.

When I was a very young Strop I worked for what was then Social Security - I never worked the public area, thank God. We literally had a Far Queue reserved for difficult clients, and the joke never got old.
