PM calls for Cambodian workers in Thailand to return home PHNOM PENH, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has appealed to Cambodian workers in Thailand to return home, saying that labor markets in Cambodia are eager for workers and that wages have gone up significantly, national media reported Thursday.
"Wages in Cambodia are currently higher than in Thailand," Hun Sen was quoted as saying in the Phnom Penh Post.
"If they work (here), they will not be looked down on by (Thai) employers or have to work illegally," he said.
"The government will improve working conditions in Cambodia and strengthen labor laws and stability as well as guarantee investment opportunities," he added.
Some 18,300 Cambodians work in Thailand, and between 100 and 150 workers enter Thailand daily for short-term employment, according to the Ministry of Labor.
Oum Mean, secretary of state at the Ministry of Labor, said most workers who entered into Thailand illegally are being cheated by employment recruiters and are taking unnecessary risks by not having proper work documents.
Cambodian migrant workers in Thailand are working in the construction, agricultural and fisheries sectors, according to the Chiang Mai-based Migrant Assistance Project.

Good! I'm so happy to hear that.
So we don't need to send them outside of the country.
Within this 5-years plan HUN SEN must do more to keep his people working at home. Srok Khmer is growing in number of jobs.
Eventhough I don't like HUN SEN but for the sake of the people I am totally support him 100%.
Khmer PP,
Does he really means Thailand, or Laos or Burma? I think the Xinhua screw up.
Yes, workings in Cambodia make $0.50 a day, working in Thailand
making $3.00 - $4.00 a day, which one they are going to pick.
Working in Cambodia and Thailand has the same abuse.
This shit Hun Sen he do not know what he talking above
There is not much job in Cambodia.
And don't forget, working in Vietnam get 1.50 usd/day.
YEP!! we have plenty of good paid jobs. Hun Sen said:
One of those jobs, I need 25,000 strong men and women to service armed forces at CAMBODIA-THAI border posts. And don't worry, I provide with flip flop and sandal, a rusty AK 47, and rottent B-40. Food, I have plenty of dry fish and Pra Hok, Thai instant noodle(just forget about those noodle made in Thailand).
Be patient, a large ammunition and armament cashes will be arrived from North Korea and China soon.
Another job, for only young women (18-25)need to apply. My special regimen. I need aproximately 2500 young strong beautiful girls. I'm going to feed your all very well. The girl regimen will use psychological warfare to subdue Thai soldiers on frontline.
it's good that the gov't is trying to do something about it to help khmer people.
the khmer rouge told educated people abroad to come back to cambodia because cambodia needed them in 1975 and we all know what happened. if you lived in cambodia for some time, you know what is the state there and no mo matter how much you try to rationalize it in you... you honestly do not want to be there, unless you are rich...
you can't trust a man with one eye
Hun Sen doesn't have to bark about this. If it is better, they will eventually come to work in Cambodia. Who wants to work in Thailand and suffer racism and inferiority?
NO LAND!
NO JOB!
Samd'ach Daichor,
you give land and jobs to Vietnameses, Koreans, and Chineeses...
I think Hun Sen is now worrying about Cambodian in Thailand will copy him for driving out Pol Pot from power. This time will be people who have supported from Thailand to drive out all Hun Sen supporters and robbers from Cambodia by another Ranaksey Rumdos Khmer from Killers Hun Sen.
I hope our migrant workers in Thailand will have jobs with more or less similar pay when they return to their homeland. But I think our governement should develop a well thought out plan to cater for their needs.
There would be a serious social problem if they could not find jobs at home.
LAO Mong Hay, Hong Kong
No, wages in Cambodia are not higher than Thailand. How can that be? That's impossible. I think Hun Sen is hinting that war is acoming for the two nations. Get ready Cambodia, modern weapons are on their way, oversea trained Khmer army personnels and air force fighter aircraft pilots will be ready in a few weeks to fight Siem. Khmers in Thailand will return home for their safetly and to also fight for RCAF.
It has been too much to bear fake friendship with the Siam. Their arrogence, their aggressiveness must be pushed back as hard as we can. The Siam is a criminal nation, the Siamese know it and we know it. And it is not that strong militarily. Test them out and they will flee like wild dogs at the sound of the gun fire. Kill'em.
NONSENSE TALK AGAIN!
I can see that this is to show that you love the nation which I appreciate but somehow rather very reluctant to believe!
Firstly the strongman should make sure that all those BLOOD SUCKERS in his too-big-head cabinet has got works delegated.
Imagine, a few hundreds top post holders with a few hundreds under secretary of states and thousands of lower post not to count those sleeping in the assembly and senate and other hell advisors. This is not a joke, Mr. hell Strongman.
You better well prepare for this,strongman and other hell men if not then you are all just a piece of my shit that I always have every morning.
My ass's hole is quite reasonable size from which I can shit you all out at one time.
Last night, I had an affair with Bun Rany, and Mr. Hun was not too pleased about the incident. Now, he sends his secret police going after me. Now, I'm headed for Phalla.
And don't forget Ah Scam Rainxy's wife while you are hot! She's in dying need for stud like you.

I would prefer the corrupt ones'; it's more challenged, per se! What about yours?!
Well, that depends on your definition of "corrupt". For me, if you lose an election, and you call it "Foul Play" senselessly and demand nonsense re-vote time after time after time to destabilized the country, that is corrupt enough.
When HUN SEN wants his citizen back home that is a sign that he is ready for war.
Just like how US did to its citizen during Afganistan and Iraq.
Khmer PP,
Nope, PM Hun Sen is no warmonger. At best, he just try to be in a better position to peacefully negotiate with the Thai, and he can't do that when too many Khmers are in their territory.
