Interesting article about the new owner of the Phnom Penh Post.
See http://www.atimes.com/lifting-the-veil- ... dia-baron/
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:

tbf, we should be aware that such an article may be a hit job, and do our own research.

Pissed off journalists and dismissed editors are renowned for dirty tricks...just a caveat.

It's an opinion piece, and doesn't really cover any ground that wasn't covered in The Post's own "welcome" piece.

That's said, there is a Chris Taylor listed on The Post's website with bylines in articles from 2014...

Sounds like a perfect fit to be honest.
Asia PR, of which Sivakumar S Ganapathy is group managing director, opened a Phnom Penh office in 2014, but its connections to the HE government dates back to the 1990s when it was the publisher of the now-defunct Cambodia Times. Among its many clients, it lists Talam Plantation Holdings, a logging operation that Global Witness has described as an “untouchable,” which refers to businesses that exploit natural resources such as rainforest with impunity.

Asia PR also provides public relations exercises that include karaoke, clubbing and letters to editors, according to its website.
More karaoke sounds good. :rave:

With a average of more than 14 post a day, you seems so pretty well informed, that a researche for you is no problem at all.

So the Julia Wallace Tweet that got rehashed by the editor of the Post before his termination/ resignation is now being rehashed again? Journalists need to up their games these days, there is such a thing as original content.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
