Dear Minister

It has been so many years that cambodians have been to Thailand for job opportunity as they could not struggle to survive in their own country.And they have been treated like slaves.

Cambodian intervention would warrent their safety.Possibly the department of employment and Education can train them for better skills in building so that they can be employed and absorbed to the needs in cambodia as well as for their safety.

I hope NGO can assist them as well,but the government has to play its role in helping own people.

Fair enough, but it would be nice to create jobs first. Then we can train them to fit those jobs. Otherwise, what is the use?

Damn! These dirt poor Cambodian workers are doing hard labor like a prisoner and still treated like animal by the Thaicong and AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave!

AH HUN SEN never understand how to stimulate Cambodian economy to create job and opportunity!

The most injustice for Cambodian people under AH HUN SEN Vietcong puppet government is being poor and with no opportunity!

Hey, what does Vietnam and PM Hun Sen have to do with this?

Anyway, people don't mind the trouble for the extra money they can earned in Thailand. And they will continue to do this for the next 50 years or so or until we got something that paid better for them. Get it?

Only half-animal and half-human would go to Thailane!
