English/Malaysian speaker

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I have a Malaysian phone number that I have to call to get the address and location of a person,,, but they don't speak English. Who can I get in PP, that speaks both languages to make the phone call for me ?

This sounds so fishy. Does someone owe you money?

Ok, is this better...
Does someone owe you money?
I lived there for ages and everyone speaks English or they're sitting next to someone who does. Put it into context via PM and I can have on of my ex colleagues call for you. Or, I think the family that owns the Malaysian restaurant on street 130 near street 13 were proper Malay looking, they have English speaking children around that would be bilingual. I bet for $5 they would love to do it.

No. It's more to do with giving money away. A long complicated and sad story that would bring tears to your eyes, a story that cannot be told now or in the near future, so don't ask.

Don't ask for advice on a forum then get shitty when people want more details. You've made it our business.

OK, perhaps I should write the '' Don't ask '' bit so Australians can understand it . It's none of your fu#$%^& business, so don't ask.
As it happens , the restaurant on st 130 weren't helpful or didn't want to be, and I ended up with a tuk-tuk driver by the mosque at Bangkak lake who spoke English , Khmer and Malay who helped me out, but the phone numbers I had were a government department and they were unhelpful and refused to give him the address. Boils down to me going there and doing the footwork myself.
Paid the tuk-tuk driver $2 for the phone calls and $5 for himself, which he did not want to accept, but finally he relented when I told him it was bad karma for me if I could not pay for the work involved.
End of story.
