Overstayed British Teacher to be Deported from Siem Reap

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.

This is a preposterous level of projection - just because you’re focussed on the bottom line of the annual balance sheet, doesn’t mean everyone else is.

The “charities don’t want to put themselves out of business” is a cynical canard trotted out by people who assume that because they themselves are primarily motivated by money, it must mean that NGO workers are also only doing it for the paycheck.

It’s such a disturbingly misanthropic world view to have, that your heart must be truly hardened.

It’s also facile because it implies they could easily fix the whole country and bring it to developed status in 5 years if they weren’t deliberately sabotaging themselves.
The individual NGO worker might have the best intentions, especially the young and idealistic sponsored-by-mommy gap year type.

The NGO industry, on the other hand, isn't any less money-driven than any other industry, just less honest and more shameless (poverty porn) about it. There's an easy to understand, no-nonsense indicator for this: overhead. All the money ends up somewhere, and surprisingly little in the right places.

it's a bit more complex than just being 'for profit'
but it is hypocrisy

NYT: The Charitable Industrial Complex (Peter Buffet, son of Warren Buffet)

witness the disgusting way red zone aid (or, 'precious gifts' as it's styled ) is being handled in cambodia
'charity'
where none would be needed, if the system was humane to start with
or even functioning at all, in this case

Cambodia News (Siem Reap): On April 23, 2021, at 11 am, the immigration police of the investigation and procedure department received a foreigner from the quarantine center. The 59-year-old British man, NICHOLAS PETER LEAVELEY, was arrested for overstaying.

He came to Cambodia in October 2019, through Phnom Penh International Airport, to work as a teacher at Western School. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the British man lost his job; he then became homeless and stayed at a pagoda.
On April 9, 2021, he was arrested and got Covid-19 tested. The result was negative. After questioning, the police found that the foreign man was living in Cambodia with a visa extension which had expired on July 24, 2020, and he didn't have any money to get another one.

The British man was taken to the deportation center in Siem Reap.
UPDATE
It appears that the British man NICHOLAS "LEAVELEY" in the OP, is in fact called NICHOLAS "LEAVSLEY", who did or did not enter Cambodia in 2019, but who was definitely reported on CEO for being previously arrested for overstaying his visa in Cambodia in 2018. (Presumably, he was deported in 2018 and then re-entered Cambodia in 2019, before being rearrested this year in Siem Reap.)

He’s now whinging about being sick. Reading his posts one has to wonder how he was ever accepted as a teacher.

I assume he's not an English teacher, but even so, you do wonder how people like this get teaching jobs?

Surely the schools in Cambodia can't be this desperate ?, or maybe some are ?

I looked at his FB page, he's not right in the head. And the level of English is appalling.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Couldn't it be the point of NGO's to facilitate the repatriation of such bums, addicts and various nutjobs to their motherlands for the best interest of the country ? Coordinate the last gathering, all banned, one ride, a few stops, go back empty....and move on ? Isn't there any Khmer officials interested ? After all, all this money is supposed to serve the best interests of the society.
Planes might be cheap to rent these days.
