PM lends a hand after homeless and ill German citizen criticises German Embassy for failing to help him
The old guy keeps his eye on the details.A homeless German citizen in Cambodia has received help via PM HE after he criticised the German Embassy for failing to help him.
Martin Albert Schomacher, who has a physical illness and was sleeping on the streets, had earlier criticized his embassy in Cambodia for not taking care of him and for not helping him to go be repatriated to Germany
The 55-year-old German was discovered after being posted on Facebook and received the attention of HE, the Prime Minister of Cambodia.
He was taken by Cambodian officials to Calmette Hospital for treatment for physical illness and foot ulcers.
According to information from the Calmette Hospital, so far (the morning of March 19, 2022) Mr Schomacher has not been visited by any German Embassy officials.
During the inauguration ceremony of “SOS Children’s Village” in Prey Veng province, on the morning of Thursday, March 17, 2022, the PM instructed the German Embassy in Cambodia to visit its citizens.
He has helped more than 1 barang.
These embassies seem quite useless.

Photos elsewhere show this guy completely destitute with an ulcerated foot looking like it is ready to drop off his leg.
One would think his condition is compelling enough for some interest to be taken.

Saw this bloke several times over the past few weeks sleeping and rummaging through rubbish bins outside the various Embassies along Norodom, mostly the Thai, Japanese & Philippines Embassies, thought it was a bit odd that a seemingly homeless white bloke was hanging around those specific Embassies.

Probably good food thrown out there.

I think you have gravely misunderstood what embassies do.
Many people seem to think that they are your mommy while abroad and they will both help you stay out of jail when you commit crimes and give you money when you spent your flight ticket money of 136 hookers but sadly for those that is not the case.

I have heard they hold your passport and return it after all monies are paid back. Essentially you are flagged from leaving your home country until you pay back the government. Not sure if all governments do this or not.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

I think a rich country such as Germany should take responsibility and get him home. How they'll recover the money spent is their problem and shouldn't be Cambodia's.
A small price to pay for the fact that projecting wealth allows Germans to travel to a great many countries with a minimum of visa hassles - it's one of the strongest passports for a reason. If the occasional deadbeat needs to be repatriated and the money cannot subsequently be recovered, just deny them a new passport as some other countries do. Simple.
