It is how the Cambodian government destroy the Thai and Vietnam people by opening casinos along the border.
With free visa pass, more Viet gamblers will come to cambodia. Good for us and the economy

11:24AM, I fairly agree with you though it was so hard for me.

However, casinos - ranging from soccer bet to rollette - within the town are extremely dangerous. They cause so many troubles, ranging from stealing or robbery to suicide. I myself has been one of the victims who suffer from the act of a gambler.

Taxation from casinos does not balance the loss of the society, and I hope the government will reconsider.

Raja, if the government is really concerned, no casino will be allowed in Cambodia even an illegal one. Exactly, gambling never brings anyone glamorous.

Well casino gamblers in Cambodia lose to their bones because of pretty girls that casino managers hire to accompany any big gamblers. Well in the presence of these pretty girls, male gamblers are likely to take big risk and place big bets, showing off their manhood and bravery.

You think that the government will reconsider.
Even the daughter of Hun Sen rent her buildings to
open casinos..
When Funcinpec was there, there's balance.
Funcinpec act like a fool to protect citizen.
And who collect for these actions?
Sam Rainsy and their clowns for CPP.

Look at now, Funcinpec is weak with the one freak hand and betrayer Nhiek Bun Chhay.. NADA...
Nobody dare to confront to Ask Hun Sen
to reconsider the casinos.
Where is Sam Rainsy? begging for Landcruiser
and others advantages...
Things 4 years ago he have received.
And normal MPs did not receive.
