"After crossing the bridge, then destroy the bridge": The Viet style of employment in CambodiaKI-Media note: The following message was provided by an anonymous KI-Media reader regarding illegal and unethical employment practice against Khmer employees of the Viet Sacombank in CambodiaTo all Khmer employees to consider of this Vietnamese Company Called " SACOMBANK " + SBJ or whatever all in one relation.
I am currently working for this Vietnamese Gold Company Sacombank SBJ Cambodia as a Sales position. I started with this company from a very beginning. This company signing a Probationary Labour Contract for 3 months period with a salary of $200 net per month. I have worked for them since their company has no presence in Cambodia yet until recently they establish their network and Office here at 58 Norodom Blvd, Sangkat Chey Chumneas, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh. Also my probationary period has come to an end and I have perform my duties exceptionally in Labour contract.
Once the probationary period contract ended, they started to sign a fixed contract with me for One Year, however, they decreased my salary down to $180 per month and included all the job related expenses as sales person must use our own motorbike and petrol. [This contract is] Even worse than my probationary contract and when I speak to the Director of Sacombank SBJ Cambodia, Mr. Pham Anh Tai, he was making an excuse that because I can not speak Vietnamese. This is a ridiculous excuse, I wonder whether our Cambodian Labour laws protect our Khmer laborer. This foreign company is bullying our Khmer laborer and exploiting us because we need a job from them. Even more shameful and pressure from this foreign company is that even we work for them one year after that they only sign contract with us for 6 months or 1 year again.
Normally, after 3 months probationary then there will be a fixed contract without ending for a normal position like us for any other local company here in Cambodia. But this Sacombank SBJ Cambodia and their other companies such as Bank exploiting on Cambodian laborer. After probationary then sign one year contract. Even worse is after one year they can decrease our salary and sign another 6 months contract or one year again or decrease our salary. This is their practice on Cambodian employees.
Now I can not stand with their treatment to our Khmer people like me. I have submitted my resignation letter since I can not accept this insult. I hope Ministry of Labor should look into such a practice to protect Khmer laborers in our own homeland from being exploited by Vietnamese Company. Khmer need jobs that is why we labor for them but we want dignity in our home ground too.
"After crossing the bridge, then destroy the bridge," this is the Vietnamese Style!

not surprise to see this kind of stuffs happened from a VN company... our leaders are their slaves. the VNmeses do whatever they want!!!!
This is just first step or one of thousands of problem that Khmer has....if you/khmer want to know more about youn dirty tricks, ask khmer krom.
Khmer Krom; Prash Tror Pang
You are in a lose lose situation.You can't even go to court for this matter because the court is under CPP control and CPP are working for yuon's interest .You're doomed.
Complaining to Labour Ministry, my dear friend, you are on your way to have a long sleep night dream.
One of the best ways to deal with the Viet scumbag isd to spead the words, Media/newspapers, friends,coworkers, parliamentarians, write a petition to related officials as you did but need to do more but don't expect them to get any result for you but to have them take a note and go to sleep again.
2nd way the same as the first one but seek advice and infrom from any NGO of human rights.
They are making the best of you and from Cambodia. First, they don't have to pay benefits if you are on contract. Second, they can change anything they want. Third, they are not the bank for Cambodia.
You need to tell them, this is not in Vietnam I don't need to speak Vietnamese in order to work because you open your business in Cambodia. You must and always need a worker that can speak at least fluent Khmer and English.
This is another sign of Vietnamization our country. Cambodia labor laws must take this serious and investigate this seriously.
Khmer PP,
Yeah, if it in Vietnam I understand this situation but this is in Cambodia, the bank is serving Khmer people not Vietnamese!
If the Cambodian government truely look out for their own people, the labor law would be enforce. But we know who they (govt) really look out for.
The first invasion was by land, the second economic.
the youn business motto is indeed unethical! they should be aware of their host country cambodia. i'm sure the investment deal required that they hired and trained khmer employees as well. if they are biased or discriminated against khmer employees, maybe they should reconsider their investment in the host country of cambodia, really! that's stupid of youn to do to khmer employees, etc...
I think, all Khmer people must go to
Khmer Krom community and learn the dirty trick of Youn. Youn, they have
all kinds dirty tricks to use on Khmer
people but only Khmer Krom know them very well.
If Khmer don't wake-up, then the next
10 years, all Khmer will be jobless and end up homeless.
This is only a small dirty trick they use to Khmer worker.
learn from everybody is a good philosophy to live by in cambodia. yes, learn from your friends, your enemies, strangers, teachers, professors, acquaintence, schools, etc... everybody means just that, everybody, the world, etc... education and knowledge knows no boundary, i don't care who you are! learning is good life skills to have as a human being in services, survival, businesses, etc... keep open mind!
Sorry brother, that is free world, the priciple is, eye for eye and tooth for tooth, the solution is, keep youself indispensable and you're safe..
12:22AAM! ah kwack Hun Xen has only one eye and I havr two!
Ah Kwack mouth is stinky, I heard!
NGO jobs and other banks need English speaking Khmers...non English speaking Khmers are discriminated against.
It's everywhere
WE ALL PRETTY MUCH KNEW HOW VIETCONG TREATED OUR KHMER PEOPLE IN THE OLD DAYS UNTIL THIS NEW DAYS. THEY DON'T CHANGE THEIR STYLE.
GOOD FOR YOU THAT YOU GOT OUT OF THAT COMPANY AND NOT BOW TO THEM.
THE BAD NEWS IS OUR GOVERNMENT SEEM TO BE ON THEIR SIDE, AND NOT ON OUR SIDE.
maybe khmer should call on gov't o implement labor law that protect the host country, i.e. khmer employee from unfair labor practice by anyone in cambodia or overseas. everything required the law or employees will be abused and treated unfairly. it could happen anywhere, really! you see, with law in place, you can hire a lawyer and sue them for mistreat, discrimination, unfair labor practice, etc, etc...! think about it, the rule of law is god's way of helping cambodia, wake up, ok! support or advocate for the rule of law in cambodia, it's our weapon against injustice, really! in the court of law, nobody can win with the law!
Be thankful you have a job!
You don't know who those ministers are ?
They were c houmneanhka youn last decade. They did not go back home instead they learn khmer changing names and move around the country and Hun Sen promote them .So you think they will hear such things
Most of CPP or HUN SEN senators or Parliaments are YUON. They blended into HUN SEN's government since 1979. They changed to Khmer names and spoke Khmer clearly than an ordinary Khmer.
Khmer Preah Vihear,

i think nowadays, when you accuse someone of something, you better have sufficient and concrete evidence; otherwise, your allegation means nothing to the court of law, really! wake up, people! it sounds more like a political rhetorics than the truth. educated people is not easy to buy into your rumor or hearsay, or whatever; they have to see real evidence. keep that in mind from now on, ok! i told you all to learn from america, best in the world when it comes to justice, rights, etc... wake up, people; don't be so selfish and evil!
Vietcong tricks:
This happened around the time when Sihanouk gave shelters to the Vietcong along the border and inside Cambodia.
During the day the VC came to help the Cambodian villagers for free to chop wood, fetch water, clean garbage around the house……But at the same time the VC made every effort to remember where all foods were. At night the VC sneaked in to steal the pigs, ducks, chickens, dogs….
Under Sihanouk regime and in the late 60’s the NV/VC (North Viet/VC) were friends of Cambodia, they even had Embassies in Phnom Penh. But behind the back they destroy Cambodia economy by creating inflation.
Some of you may be old enough to remember the 500 riels Tevada banknotes.
(Go to this link to view the picture: http://www.banknotes.com/KH9.JPG).
At the time the of exchange was 1 US$ = 55 riels, the NV/VC flooded their friendly Cambodian market with this fake 500 riels Tevada banknotes from 1964 until the government found out in early 1970. Several millions of these fake notes were in circulation to create inflation.
If you have relatives living in Krek or Snoul in the 60’s, they would tell you how the NV/VC spent the money like paper. They paid for food and tobacco…above the market price.
Here what you need to do:
-Tell all Cambodian custermers to close all their accounts. You tell them what you had exepencies with the Bank.
-Use International Bank instead of VN-Banks.
You did a good job in your writinga and for standing up to the injustice of the Viet company operating in Cambodia. We need a law to protect the Khmer workers. It is only the law that can protect us. I like what you said a lot -- we need jobs and that is why we trade our skills with them, but we cannot accept their insult on our Khmer dignity for without our country their businesses would not grow anyway. I like that thought a lot. Stay positive and move on to a better workplace, and thank you for letting us know about the YUONs, even if it is just one company. We are fairminded people but we know the Yuons are never known to be trusted. The Cambodian government is always blind and favorable toward the YUONS so we can't count on them much. Remember, the Cambodian government continues to allow the YUONs to grab more Khmer land through the bordery treaty of 1985. Why oh why the border treaty when the French already created the borderline between CoChinchina and Cambodge. Cambodian government it is not working for the Khmer people but for their own self-interests in stead. Remember Chaufa Ben the Lord Governor of Battambang? He did not work for the interests of the Khmer people at all but for the Kings of Siam instead. He let the Thais controlled the Western parts of Cambodia. Remember the Chinese merchant turned Khmer governor of Peam Principality in the South? He too did not work for the Khmer nation, he worked for the Nguyen Kings and detached a huge chunk of Kampuchea Krom area to the Viets. Now Hun Sen and his clique are doing the same thing. They have the power and money and army but they choose to work for ah Yuons instead. These rotten people of power in Cambodia should stop start loving the Khmer people and Khmer land more than they love the foreigners. I bet when Hun Sen is out of power, his descendants will be granted noble statuses by the Vietnamese government because Chaufa Ben's descendants still carry the noble title Aphaiwong in Thailand, and Mac Cao's descendants still carry the noble title in Vietnam. I bet Hun Sen and his descendants will be rewarded by the Yuons in the future because Hun Sen had ceded Cambodia's islands and more farmland areas to benefit the Yuons.
If we still do not learn from the previous mistakes, we will not be able to survive. In thirty more years, I believed the longest time we have, the Vietnamization in Cambodia would be finished.
Therefore, what are we waiting for? Are we waiting for the U N to help us out from this trap? Or are we waiting for any one of the world superpowers to help us on this problem? Is that so, just going back to sleep and waiting for the death.
My beloved brothers and sisters, there is no body but us to help ourselves. Those world superpowers are just too busy for their own things; or if they want to involve in our business, it just because they want to benefit their own homes.
There fore, if we do not try hard ourselves, we will fail; ours children will be homeless.
There will be no more Cambodia in the future, just like “Champa”; we will become minorities in our homeland.
3:22 AM, when you go and do it ?
Tomorrow ? Let me know!
Or just bla bla bla..
3:28, just shut the f*ck up, fool. It is the quality of the thought that counts stupid jerk. What we need is to ask the Thais to fight the Viets for us, then we let them keep the Preah Vihear Temples. Lol.
For 3:28AM
Don’t worry! I will let you Know for sure.

OK,
I will save money to buy you a coffin, then.
I HOPE KHMER WILL VOICE UP AND ENCOURAGES OTHER NOT TO USE THIS BANK.
Kill the Viet. shit...man! drive them out of Cambodia...dog!
That's what happen when STUPID leader like ah sen!
Why everybody defends this guy? He was on probationary contract for three months and then got an offer for a permanent for one year. He's bitching because of the 20 bucks cut in his salary? So what's the problem- he doesn't like the offer he can go look for some other job. His abilities tell me that he's the lazy fuck, this is up to the bank to value employees on whatever assets they have to have. Open the newspaper everybody requires the knowledge of one or another foreign language be it Vietnamese, English, Chinese or Korean. Nobody calls it a discrimination. The stupid guy doesn't even understand the meaning of "discrimination" he just wants to easy cash on. Plus he's a sales person, he gotta know the fucking languages, man.
6:17AM,
You can save your money to buy coffins for your mom, dad, brothers, sister, wife, sons, daughter and relatives Viet who invaded my country Cambodia.
Oh I forgot, maybe all of you don’t need any…
1:50 AM and 9:02 AM
These two must be the Viet Bank Manager who uses his power to abuse the worker. He doesn't care about anyone except his master Hanoi and their loyal dogs CPP to suck Khmer blood. Soon these thugs will get a test of the reverse cycle of action they have been doing then they will know the pain of their victims and will scream louder to get help.
Hi,
You have a very good blog. Now the market has started to look up and people are beginning to obtain jobs. However, a lot of them are baffled regardless of whether they're acquiring the proper salary. They could confirm this by examining their salaries through on-line tools. One such web site to evaluate salary mechanical engineers and other professionals is whatsalary.com.

It seems to be that you are in lose situation. They have applies many dirty tricks. This all was illegal and unethical.
this guy is funny! after probationary, they decrease your salary, that's a so very great normal action. after probationary, anything could happen. Nobody will accuse this except you. Think about yourself first, your performance, your working attitudes.
The two guys above must be the vn dog sent from champa to Phnom Penh. the way he speak and tone was full of intimidation and money. $20 dollar maybe nothing to him however $20 convert to value of a person being take advantage off is worth more than it actual $20. I can understand the guy who resigned it is so much of the $20 but it is so much to do with dignity and value. This fucking company before employee him must have interview him and also knew that this guy can't speak the fucking Vietname language already but yet the company still accept for him to work for 3 months in the probationary period to take advantage of this Dude ! Is this the way your companies policies work? signing contract with all cambodian employee every 3 months or 6 months or one year ? I bet it was so ! so that easy to take advantage of laborer ! when you not happy easy for you to lay off people with your easy reasons? All Khmer employee that seeking for job must look out for this Viet Policies before ask them for a job ok ....... don't fall for the trap and end up like the poor dude !
so you believe all everybody tell you?! so when they say you are a dog and then, you believe you are really a dog. that's so good! why don't you think the man in this letter is really a fucking guy with really bad working performance?
Please all Khmer be aware of the Viet companies policy of " After crossing the bridge , then destroy the bridge".
They are playing a game to kick our khmer staffs away and put in with Yourn staffs instead.
Khmer
This is the strategy of those Viet companies. The only excused they can think of is performance insulting khmer laborer. Only those Ah youn can perform better then we do. If so why fucking come to our country for why don't just stay back in ah youn country. we should stand up for this foreign policies, Ministry of Labour should look in to this foreign labor policies. We should create a policies to provide jobs and protection our Khmer brothers and sisters worker. They come to our country they should use our labour and abide our host country rules if not kick them out. I see a flaw in labour laws..... stated that foreign work force can only have 10% of the total number of all employee however, there is a gap that they can acquire more then 10% of foreign some Viet Companies can bright their viet employee to work in cambodia more then 20% or 30% as long as they pay money to Labor ministry. This is the law that served the Ministry of Labour not serve our khmer people. Allow foreign to intrude our land and economy yet even a piece of mind which our ordinary khmer want also take it away as well which is "Employment" what else will they take? soon will like "Champar".
Those Ah Youn companies better think it over again if you are invest in our country we are welcome but do respect our host country don't just implement your Ah youn policies, discrimination and intimediation because if you do so we are all won't let you sucking our blood peacefully.
fuck all! fuck all brainless. do your best not stay here to blame. use your brain, use your knowledge to work. stay here to fuck the bullshit.
