Fourteen Chinese detained after leaving casino

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.

Are the police now working for the Chinese masters?
I'm guessing they violated their contracts and the police were asked to enforce them.
Scarier than malaria.

What the hell is going on inside those casinos that multiple Chinese people who were very willing to uproot their lives and move to Cambodia for work just 3 days ago are trying to get the heck out so soon?

Sure, but after only a few days? If they were promised a typical casino customer service/dealer/food service/cleaning type job, then what else was it they were actually being forced to do that caused the revolt? I could understand if they weren't being paid as much as promised, but after only 3 days? They weren't around long enough to receive a paycheck.
