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.

Sihanoukville: On March 06 at 7 pm, 73 casino workers protested in front of Lion City Hotel and Casino, on street 500, Ocheuteal Beach, Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville. The Director of Lion City Hotel and Casion, KIM HAYANGLAE, has not paid the staff their wages for the month of February, and it is reported that he has run away. The police were called to the scene to keep order and prevent violence.

Mr. Yov Kemara, the Director of Vocational Training department came to help to find the solutions for all workers after receiving the compliant from the victims, but there is no result as yet.
According to Article 117, the Law on the Payment wage to Employees, the employer is obliged to pay the employer the wage to workers at a regular agreed date. If the wage is not paid on time, the Labor of Inspector must record and file the case submit to court. The property could be liable for the workers' pay, and then the Labor Inspector can sue the employer for all obligations for employees.

It's good to know that there are rules and regulations in place for when things like this happen...




Like do all these 73 Chinese workers [ presumably Chinese ] have work permits to start with.?
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.

Went inside twice. Very few customers. Not sure they had much online gambling if any.

Its online gambling that is producing a profit for the Sihanoukville casinos so not surprising to see this casino in trouble.

If you go down the road at the back of Jin Bei Casino around 9.30am its astounding to see the number of Chinese online gambling workers changing shift. All in their 20's and dressed in white shirts. Take over half the road at a shift change as they walk to and from their rooms. Then there is about 5 plus vans pull up with more workers.
Must be some serious money being made.

Lion City did look fairly crappy and poorly attended. I've eaten a few times in the now ex Italian across the road from it. Never saw much going on.

Very confusing situation in Sihanoukville, especially on Victory Hill.

1. The Small Market on Victory Hill has closed and is being knocked down or converted. Apparently, the land/building has been leased to the Chinese for $12,000 p.c.m!
2. Rumor has it several of the Chinese-owned bars on Victory Hill have not paid their rent or their water and electric bills.

I hope the China edict on foreign capital outflows of August 2017 start to bite soon but have not seen any evidence of it yet.
The Chinese have taken over most of Victory Hill

Not making money is in the DNA of V-hill, at least for foreigners.
Wet season will sort a few more out I suspect.
