No picture? (of him generally) - name rings a bell.

There are far less than there were a year ago. As an example one western embassy (which shall remain nameless) which tracks its citizens had 10,000 registered a year ago, now it has around 1,000.

Would that mainly be teachers scraping by on $1,000 a month with no savings back up when schools shut down? Has the vast self serving and unproductive NGO industry that supports Cambodia's economy also been affected.

Some might have been teachers, others might have been working for private companies or NGOs that decided to pull out their staff because of insurance risks, then there are all the bars/ restaurants etc that serve them. NGOS aren't actually such a big element here anymore, the country got rated from low-income to middle-income or something like that a few years ago so it's not feasible for that many to continue their mission here anymore. Anyway, I wasn't talking about any particular sector, just the 90% drop in registered nationals from one particular country. There are very few foreigners around compared to a year ago.

I have never directly worked for an NGO, but have seen a few close up.
Some of them do excellent work - but i do get at least part of what you are saying, Cowshed.

But there is another huge consideration these days. ie, Western engagement and relationship building.
Anything is better at this point than totally vacating the field for "someone else" to step in.

On the whole NGO engagement has been a big pos+ for Cambodia, even tho there are certainly self-interest and inefficiency issues. Big issues for some orgs, but certainly not for all.

You don’t see too many (quality) 12 strings in the KOW. If someone in charge of disposing his assets reads this, PM me. I’d be interested in buying it.

Are you for real? How bloody callous!

Why remain nameless? Sounds interesting.

LOL. Well, he did phrase it nicely. What would you do? Cremate an innocent guitar? And how does he know that's a quality 12-string just from that pic? I see no brand name or any other markings that ID it as a good one. Lot's of crap is made in Asia!

It's also people who work online in legitimate jobs for foreign companies. At a time when other countries are building out infrastructure and new laws to enable such people to live there, Cambodia is making it harder and harder for them to stay.

Interesting, must admit I have zero knowledge of the rules and regs for online workers, tax wise, work permits etc. Just found the figure quoted quite staggering given it is from one Western country, presumably reflected also in the other big ones. US, Australia, UK?
