Garment worker dies after fainting on the job

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I believe HE has also promised to "meet" (i.e. lecture at) garment factory workers *every* Sunday for the next few months.

HE's got a problem on his hands
...these workers are not as stupid as HE thinks, the conditions which led to the 2014 riots still exist, and are perhaps even more stark than they were before. They'll take a pay rise, but wouldn't feel in the least indebted to him.

Also, young, disenfranchised, migrant workers (and villagers) will be voting in the national elections, more than did in the commune elections.
Ok, just checking. Btw, not sure why I just remembered it, but do you remember​ CNRP TV? :D Wasn't the PM saying it was pretty much a cert after being put forward again after the last government election?
See crook!!!

Factories get environment checks
14 Sept 2017
The Ministry of Environment plans to inspect more than 110 factories and enterprises in Phnom Penh and Kandal province to strengthen environmental protection standards.

Ministry spokesman Sao Sopheap said officials will inspect more than 110 factories by the end of September or early October.

“The officials will continue to inspect all kinds of enterprises and factories that can cause environmental pollution including garment factories, laundry facilities, and other enterprises, especially garment factories,” he said.

Pav Sina, president of the Collective Union of Movement of Workers, said inspections at factories are desperately needed and must include punishment for offenders.

“If we go to inspect carelessly without being strict, employers will continue to apply the same measures,” he said. “As we have seen in the past, hundreds of garment workers often faint in their factories due to inefficient ventilation and the inhalation of chemicals.”
