Bangkok - A machinery mishap in a rubber factory in southern Thailand on Thursday killed three Cambodian labourers, including one woman, Thai media reports said.

The spinning rotor in a rubber mixing machine at the Chalong Usahakham Company in Channa district, Songkhla provicne, 760 kilometres south of Bangkok, broke lose from its base and mangled three labourers to death, Radio Thailand reported.

The three Cambodians, identified as males Sae Binh, 21, Jaa Sepeng, 26, and female Salee Sepeng, 26, were all registered as legal labourers.

There are more than two million registered foreign labourers in Thailand, most of them from neighbouring countries - Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.

Thai police attributed the accident to 'carelessness' on the part of the labourers, claiming the machine - used to mix natural rubber with chemicals to produce rubber sheets - required frequent cleaning to avoid accidents.

Thailand is the world's leading exporter of rubber products.

Oh really! I like to see the operation manual! It is the Siem nature to blame everything on others when shit go wrong! This is pure mechanical failure and it is the law of nature that the machine will break down at some point! These are very old machine which long overdue for replacement but the Siem like to put profit before human life!

It is good to know that most dangerous job are done by the foreign labours! This is a good example for any stupid Cambodian people who want to trade their life for few hundred baht! If only AH HUN SEN lead Cambodia in the right direction to prosperity and dirt poor Cambodian people wouldn't have to go to other country trading their life just to put food on the table!

Well said 12:49PM, And why is this machine happened to broke lose when only 3 Cambodians are working there?
Until this case is fully investigated, we will not buy this accident as "carelessness" as told by the stupid Thai Police. So, if any Thai die here in Cambodian, we may have to use the same line as "Thai stupidities"
