New York Sen. Chuck Schumer Monday urged a high-ranking Cambodian official to help unravel a web of corruption and bureaucratic red tape that has kept soccer balls and jerseys from reaching needy children in a Cambodian orphanage.
A Brooklyn mother and her group, Brooklyn Bridge to Cambodia, sent the items in October 2006, but Phnom Penh port officials have demanded hundreds of dollars in fees.
"I strongly urge you to assist Brooklyn Bridge to Cambodia in having their shipment released from the port to the orphanage," Schumer wrote to Cambodian Ambassador to the U.S. Sereywath Ek.
Ek could not be reached for comment because of a Cambodian holiday.
"All we are trying to do is help some kids who don't have a lot of things going for them in their lives," said Brooklyn Heights mother Paula Shirk, who wanted to send the clothes and equipment to her adopted son Rudi's village in Cambodia.

Shut the fuck up. Just pay the damn tax.
The soccer balls and clothes are not anything the port authority can used for. They can keep them and sale for profit. Next time you send them money first and then send soccer balls later. They only need money to survive.
To 12:53AM! Stupid Vietcong slave mother fucker!
This is what you called charity!
The World Bank and other financial institutions have forgiven debt or even give low interest rate loan to AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government in million and million of dollars and for AH HUN SEN government to embarrass Cambodian population over a few thousand dollars dealing with charity work is unspeakable! This is very embarrassing for Cambodian population!
It can only happen in Cambodia where AH Sereywath Ek and all AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave corrupted officials can enjoy holiday without thinking about dirt poor Cambodian people! In Cambodia there are many scrooge leaders who are too busy eating and please don't bother them and they won't be finished until Cambodia and Cambodian people are completely destroy in the flame of their corruption!
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave mother fucker never fails to embarrass Cambodian population in front of international community and the Vietcong master!
Those mother fucker never use brain ! CPP you are fuckup!
Bullshit, we want our damn tax.
Ahthork 2.47am its ok to pay tax when your mother die..........ah koun mee thork youn.
12:53AM got mental problem - this guy needed to be checked.
We are the critical points to alleviate the poor in Cambodia. I appreciated that some people on the Western Hemisphere has the heart to reach out. Meanwhile, the CPP all I wish for this Xmas is that every CPP officials and supporters attended the 1000days Psychiatric evaluation on the IBIP (integrated behavioral intervention plan). Anyone with such egotistical/introvert remarks: I wish that you commit yourself in the Mental Health Facilities since you're already here in the States.
Hey! 12:53AM, 1:13AM, & 2:47AM. You seem like a cocky type and preferred to have blood on your hands. You wouldn't give a dam on anyone, so as long as you get cash in the pocket. And perhaps, you have plenty of it right now. Please use some of it to buy and take a 1gm of LiCO3 for the rest of your natural life.
Oh know you don't! I bet you guy just try to trick us to fail our corruption test. I can see now: Tomorrow headline read, "Custom Department Corrupted...," the soon we release the goods without tax.

Oh no you don't! I bet you guy just try to trick us to fail our corruption test. I can see now: Tomorrow headline read, "Custom Department Failed Corruption test." the soon we release the goods without tax.
Here is something for the CPP worshippers to contemplate by an author who wrote "of mice and men". He coined a phrase, "REPRESSION WORKS ONLY TO STRENTHEN AND KNIT THE REPRESSED."
If you are the CPP clan, DO NOT attempt to analyze. You are not capable.
Who the hell would want to waste time analyzing retarded quotes from the west?
