Gas explosion at Sher-e-punjab today!

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.

Admin, can we move this bizarrely off-topic post (even for me) elsewhere?
I just moved it here as this thread is more on topic than where he previously posted it, here newsworthy/16yo-karaoke-waitress-murder ... 17218.html

Sounds like you have an axe to grind.

What has the nationality got to do with anything? Are the Chefs in every Italian restaurant Italian? Chinese in every Chinese restaurant? French in every French restaurant?
What's the penalty for the Nepalese guys posing as Indians
I very much doubt that that is a chargeable offense anywhere in the world, if it is true.
Reusing gas containers
You might not have noticed it, but there is no such thing as a single-use gas bottle in Cambodia or elsewhere for that matter.
to save 5 rupees
Please look up "currency of Cambodia".

Everything.

Usually someone is. If not the chef or the staff than the owner. If no one is, you have a problem. Usually it's undocumented or underage employees getting less than the legal pay requirement in unsafe conditions. Ask any Mexican kitchen worker in New York. They'll tell you.

Or ask a Japanese person to go to a sushi joint run by Chinese or Viets and lemme know what they tell you.

You cut off the rest of the sentence bevakooph.

"...who run Sharee Punjab where the explosion killed the poor 17 year old girl last week?"

Employers have the responsibility to provide a safe workplace. By law, employers must provide their workers with a workplace that does not have serious hazards and must follow all OSHA safety and health standards.

Of course that's in civilization. Doesn't apply here to the phony Indians exploiting local minors from the provinces.

@dron
What makes you think that Nepalese are more likely to have unsafe working conditions and exploit their workers than Indians, or Khmers, or most restaurants in Cambodia for that matter ? You seem quite worked up about these people's nationality.

Most Indian restaurants in the UK are run by Bangladeshis.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Can you quote your source for that? No. Figment of your imagination.

And since we're resorting to ad hominems based on syntax/grammar, it's 'then', not 'than', and your posts are a disaster, not only in terms of usage, but in terms of prejudice and hate.

Did I read somewhere in this thread there was a police investigation where they interviewed the staff? I wonder what the outcome was..

Was it an accident or the result of human negligence? The next day I saw the police across the road with a couple of indian guys taking fingerprints and signing papers.

The owner of Sher-e-Punjab is Nepalese. He still owns 3 guesthouses in Nepal. He owns, or is the majority shareholder in, 5 different restaurants in Phnom Penh. Nice guy. He always sits and talks with my wife and I when we eat at his restaurants. Phnom Penh India on the riverside is our favorite, because it's on the riverside, and the manager is excellent.
I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.

He might be nice guy, but something went terribly wrong and being the owner he is responsible for what happened in the end.

And the aunt of the deceased calling for 'generous people' is a disgrace. When someone dies in an accident during work woulnd't it be fair if the owner took care of things instead of having aunty begging around?
