Press Statement
August 9, 2011
On Wednesday August 3, 2011 Yale Law School released a report on the detrimental consequences for labor rights caused by the extensive use of Fixed Duration Contracts in Cambodia. The report, “Tearing Apart at the Seams: How widespread use of Fixed Duration Contract threaten Cambodian workers and the Cambodian garment industry” demonstrate that the use of Fixed Duration Contracts often lead to violations of fundamental labor rights, including amongst others the right to maternity leave and freedom of association; denial of legal entitlements such as seniority bonuses; and make workers vulnerable to forced overtime work.
On behalf of Cambodian labor unions, labor rights support groups and other concerned stakeholders, we would like to announce press conference on Fixed Duration Contracts to be held at the Royal University of Phnom Penh at the Cambodia-Japan Corporation Center, Phnom Penh-Tokyo room 09 from 8.30 to 11.00 AM on Wednesday August 10, 2011.
The purpose of the meeting is to highlight the findings of “Tearing apart at the Seams” and discuss potential ways to restrict the use of Fixed Duration Contracts in order to improve labor rights in Cambodia. For further information please contact

Hi Everyone,
One of KI-Media member who has his name in Facebook as Khmer Sovannaphumi but his real name is Pang Sokhoeun, former political asylum and now living in Sweden. He always copies news from here to post in his facebook profile to promote himself, but right now, he tries to removed and blocked anyone who dares to reveal his con activity particular he tries to hide what he has cheated his wife (Sreypov Chea) by having a girlfriend (Sokunthear Sam) behind his wife back. Now, his girlfriend had ran way from him after she knew his cheating.
A con man Pang Sokhoeun as well as KI-Media like to insult to the government officers who have affairs, but himself does even worse than other people. What a shame!
