The cop looks like a rookie just started on the job. A fresh face, no beer gut or a gold watch. At least wait till the guy has a job worth while loosing before sacking him.
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.

His only mistake was getting caught.

They do it all the time, and think they are clever for getting the money.

Now he has been caught, they have to act like they are not corrupt.

Dont you all know about the police in Sihanoukville?

Sorely needed, they were running wild for years down there.
Well Done the Boss.
