American MICHAEL BERG (AmCham Board Member) Caught on Video Allegedly Trying to Bribe Police in Cambodia

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.

Best news I’ve read on this thread. Keep up the publicity!
How is that good news? Not even in China would they make that leap. But if she forged her vaccination papers she should be investigated. But calling her a national security threat is completely unfounded in my opinion.
Well, the PM is the one that said it per nemo post that was quoted
And as you can see, I was replying to the guy who said it was the "best news I've read on this forum". And I don't see how what the PM says is relevant. Unless it's not allowed under forum rules.

Firstly sir, "that guy" is a well respected female poster. Your assumptions tell us a lot about you.

as a second note, while watching this thing unfold I have come to the conclusion that Berg becoming a fried fish shop managermay well be him levelling out to meet his abilities, failed at running TOF and may well fail at this. He does not deserve this trial by an angry young woman, known to be anti-vax it seems who records and edits to her preference, A dumb bribe attempt but she seems to be "I did my own research" people I cannot abide....3 google searches I suddenly know more than the scientists at the CDC with a several billion dollar budget for research behind them, I couldn't find the clown emoji so I will leave this picture instead :beer3:

What sexist bullshit.
I've had PLENTY of men try to destroy me with malicious gossip, you only have to read through this forum to see the absolute crap that gets said about me.
Nobody has ever threatened to fight me, except that crazy WOMAN who was going off her nut about me on CEO a while ago. (Stylish something or other).
Your theory is very flawed.

I think it's up to each individual whether or not they want to get vaccinated but if they ever got a good dose of the Covid or knew someone that did, they'd be pushing their way to the front of the vaccination line once they'd done their due diligence and decided which vaccine was the best for themselves.

Actually the literature is pretty conclusive on this issue and while there are always outliers it is pretty solid. The literature relates to antisocial behavior btw and comes from a statement made by Jordan Peterson during an interview.

I can find the interview where he makes his case if you want.

EDIT
here's the excerpt from an interview where he talks about this subject



Please note a comment he makes
It's not what I think, it's what the scientific literature indicates
So, while you may call my statement that "men fight, women gossip" bullshit are you also calling Jordan Petersons (an expert in this very field) claims "bullshit" too? or maybe I should have explained my original remark more clearly?

The last 2-3 pages need a clean-up. The Berg fan club is doing its best to derail the threat with simple junk. That is an old and tested method those characters exercised on another platform for years. At the same, it might be economical, time-wise, to remove one socket.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia (Amcham) held its first business networking event since February. The occasion, last Monday night, was the first face-to-face business networking event to be held in the Kingdom since the relaxation of pandemic restrictions.

Naturally, the event was held outdoors, limited to 50 attendees, and all recommended safety protocols were followed.

Amcham President Anthony Galliano commented: “After eight months we were delighted to have the opportunity to hold a networking event, as our members place great value on the business opportunities this genre of event avails. Of course, our members enjoyed socialising and being able to meet in person again.”

“We wanted to be one of the first to hold an event and for it to be very special. Given our phenomenal growth in membership this year, significant expansion in advocacy committees, and our special sectorial lunches and CEO dinners, more and more members are conducting business through and with Amcham, and this matching of business opportunities between members is one of the key benefits we offer”, he added.

“We look forward to future and more frequent events which will accelerate and enhance our capacity to serve our members.”

If it's deserved, needed or in defence, the "men fight, women attack the character" theory, is actually yet further proof women are smarter than men. It is also the general consensus that the supposed women's approach is a lot more socially acceptable: Fighting alone is a criminal offense, then there is assault etc.. Character assassination, is not a crime. If it is defamation, it is known as a civil tort, and the victim can sue for damages, but rarely will, because it is hard to tick all the boxes. If the statements are true, the deliverer has done no wrong. They may have done a service.

This is a man giving the scientific readout. Even a gay man can not fully understand a women.

Science has been wrong many times: They said the atom was the smallest thing possible. They (Darwin) used to think offspring inherited a blend of both parents as opposed to actual characteristics. DNA was thought to be a triple helix (it's double). The Big Bang theory was once the Steady State theory (Earth has been the same the whole time), and that argument isn't over. Einstein thought the universe was static.

Women's premenstrual kept them out of power and space voyage due to them being too temperamental. They are the finest world leaders, in fact Finland is not only run by a 34-year old woman, her coalition is run with all 5 parties led by women. It should be noted that along with the PM, 4 of the five others in charge are in their 30s and HOT. The country's thriving and is always in the top 10.

Theories are never facts. Theories are designed to explain facts. Phenomena occur all the time disproving theories, so all scientific literature is tentative and subject to reviews should new light be shed. The problem is that until it is disproved the science world, and therefore those less-versed or un-versed, say "sounds good to me, if you say so."

To say,
"When men have a problem they fight
When women have a problem they go in for character destruction & malicious gossip"
is easily disproved.

That statement claims ALL men fight when they have a problem. Wrong. And the female part is wrong for the same reason.

Gender stereotypes are harmful - imagine how many men spent their entire lives in the closet, until the 70s, maybe 80s, even 90s - when a macho can't cry or express feelings and a chick can't be independent, outwardly smart or assertive.

I dunno, on one hand you could describe him as an expert in his field, but you could equally also describe him as having broken away from the views of the majority of experts in that same field, to sell books and get famous amongst right-wing blowhards.

Peterson is indeed an expert in his field and one of the most cited psychologists alive (over 10 000) - https://scholar.google.com/citations?us ... AAAJ&hl=en - a h-index rating (how successful a scientist is) of 51 (average is 10, successful is 20, outstanding is 40, 60 is the realm of Nobel Laureates) and a five year tenure as assistant professor at Harvard.

I'm so far left I'm almost a socialist but respect his pre-eminence in his field of research. The guy sticks to data and knows his shit.
