Working on a minimum wage ... $153 for all.
The Ministry of Labor said yesterday that it was working with experts and International Labor Organization (ILO) officials to create a draft law laying out the monthly minimum wage for workers in a variety of fields outside the garment and textile industry, which late last month agreed to set its minimum wage at $153...
Yang Sophorn, the president of the Cambodian Alliance of Trade Unions, told Khmer Times yesterday that she was not aware of any draft law on a universal minimum wage and said the ministry needs to involve unions in the process for the law to be truly effective.
[Meanwhile, not everyone has had to wait for their payrise...]
Prime Minister HE said his own salary, now 3.6 million riel (about $900) a month, would almost treble to 10 million (about $2,500).
Ministers will receive 4.5 million riel ($1,115), secretaries of state 3.5 million (about $850), undersecretaries of state 2.8 million ($700) and some 2,500 assistants and advisers will receive an extra 80,000 riel ($20) a month.

A woman is paid a salary not much more than $150 as a f/t teacher - she is completing a degree at XXXXX University in XXXXX
She rents a room that works out at $70/month and she shares the room with 2 others
This is the life of many here - and she is not one of the poor and desperate at all

I just don't see how a leader of a country can live on $2500. a month. Must have taken some lessons on economizing from Hillary when she was here a couple years ago.

You silly man, [ Sailorman ] don't you know his wife works, and his kids send money to him [ via Wing. ]
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
