Re: What does it mean when a cop says hello?

Not the motorcycle cops I see wearing olive green. There are no motorcycle cops. There are however plenty of police units who happen to ride motorbikes. Anyway, I think you are being paranoid to the extreme. If a cop nods or smiles at you, give them the same back. They are just being friendly. The ...

Re: What does it mean when a cop says hello?

Sounds like traffic police. So the ones in blue are traffic? What about the ones in olive green on motorcycles? They look a lot meaner. Regarding the predictable cracks about paranoia when just lack of information is the issue, we have reason to be wary of all contact with government officials who ...

What does it mean when a cop says hello?

What does it mean if a cop says hello to you out of the blue? Two of them were sitting at a cambodian style sidewalk cafe near Sorya market. One of the ones in blue. Not the motorcycle cops I see wearing olive green. I have a feeling it might mean they are gearing up for a shake-down. The logic woul...

this board may have software problem

Re: Meet the New U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Cambodia

Long list of positions,.... He got promoted to Washington DC for cementing relations with the Cambo government, but I found a wikileaks document he sent to his boss's saying that the Cambo government was corrupt, full of thieves and couldn't govern itself. Probably "promoted" back to DC e...

Re: is riel a real currency ?

The threats facing Cambodia's banks are mainly due to the incompetent bank management teams here in Cambodia and not the governance of the country. banking incompetence is a political governance issue. if the banks are incompetent it would be because a lot of that incompetence is going into governm...

Re: is riel a real currency ?

Even then, Cambodia faces a higher risk, because unlike Thailand, they are not conducting business in their own currency. If they suddenly needed billions of US dollars to stay afloat, there is simply nobody who will supply them the dollars. yes, there is. Other countries have a stake in Cambo's fr...
