Foreigners: Please DO stay away from Cambodia whether business or pleasure, because your personal safety is not assured.

Had these five ill-fated Singaporian rowers assured, their lives have not been lost worthlessly in a foreign country.

The Cambodian government launched rescue operation JUST to save face.

Yes, reality hurts.
