Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On April 19, 2019, at 4:00 pm, 9 Chinese men were detained by Cambodian police after an all out brawl between Chinese nationals at Online building, on street 169, Sangkat Veal Vong, Khan Prampi Makara, Phnom Penh.

After receiving the information that there was a rumble going on, Viseth Tith, Deputy Commissioner of Phnom Penh Municipal Police and Director of the Phnom Penh Immigration Police, led the police force to the scene where 9 Chinese men were detained for questioning. The suspects had no passports, and they confessed that they had been fighting. All the suspects were sent to the Immigration Department to have their cases processed awaiting deportation.





The suspects were identified as RAO HONG YUAN, 33-year-old, ZHU XIAO JIAN, 32-year-old, LI CONG MIN, 20-year-old, ZENG JING HUA, 20-year-old, LU DE XIN, 21-year-old, ZHU YI ZHAO, 26-year-old, LAN BIN, 22-year-old, LAN XIN ZHEN, 20 year old, and LAN JIA, 21 year old.

Where's the blood? Isn't that how a brawl finishes up?

Look at the wing tips on this Lieutenant Teth Viseth.

I can't say much for the average Khmer Nouveau Riche bong thom types, but their sense of clothing style is impeccable....and luxuriously expensive. That's probably a $500 pair of Gucci skinny jeans and those wing tips...camel skin all the way.

Enjoy the finer things they do.

One of two things? Either it meant they didn’t have their passports with them, or...

I read something a while back, albeit not corroborated, that “lower class”, “poor” and “ex-con” Chinese nationals were being flooded in through Snooky airport to work on construction, without the necessary papers. I have no idea if this is true, but I recall reading about it.

My theories

Someone in the know was involved in the palm greasing to have them enter through official borders, someone in the know had their palms greased to share ways in over the Thai or other border, boat.

But Felg, it could just be a matter of translated semantics.

I was going to dig up examples but can't be arsed right now. If you look though, there have been multiple examples of Westerners picked up for whatever and it is also mentioned that they don't have passports. I don't think that ALL these Westerners just happened to lose their passports.

At the time I posted about whether or not Cambodian authorities know that 99% of expats don't walk around with their passports shoved into the front pocket of their chinos.

It might be a matter of getting picked up by the police for xyz and they shout at you, "Give me your passport!" You say it's not on me. But by the time it's been sorted out, that it's actually in your apartment or whatever and arrangements are made to have it picked up.
It's already been reported that you were apprehended for whatever, with no passport.

I, for one, keep a scan in my wallet, but some Khmer immigration thug would probably scoff at that, anyway.
