CORRUPTION, big and small

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.

CORRUPTION, big and small

Post by mammothboy2 »

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre ... ama-papers

I still remember the day I watched $10 change hands in a police station in SR, but real corruption is a far bigger
fish (like the tea-money for the stamp to go ahead with building a very modest house was a case of beer not
long ago then the sum shot up to $300) ... a very teeny-weeny example.

Remember the Germans (Swiss?) busted for running a jolly drug-tolerant guest house in SR?* One version was that it cost $20,000 for them
to skip away unjailed.

* As a pussy-whipped wretch, I was to craven-cowardly to ever go there, knowing well enough
that sooner or later the axe would fall and fearful of being a "found-on" as they say in Ireland
when the axe eventually fell.

The reference was to Villa Anjuna in SR.

Those who were caught as "found-on" were (it is said) fined $1,000 a head. It is claimed that the police helped
themselves to anything and everything worth nicking in the guests' bedrooms.

Hey, leave them alone. They are just doing their job.

Quite simply put; people are pussy's nowadays. They get caught on the premises and the police say " You must pay us 1000$ or we will put you in prison"
Then there is always some dumb kid, usually an American, that freaks out and pays. News gets around fast in police circles.
