Be sure, to stop ah Rong Chhung & chea mony, Virak,
Not to create more problems,
Those guys , are trouble makers
Otherwise, Khmer 's peoples will out of jobs soon.,
I understand that the employees want to get pay higher on salery. However, if the empployers don't make enough profit and how are they going to keep pay the employess.
The employees should learn how to grow food on the side and never totally depend on the foreingers. Save every dollar as you can and manybe someday you can open your own business.
Please don't start the riots. If these companies decided to go to Burma and Srilanga, the Cambodian employees will be in big trouble.
$60 to $80 is better than no job at all. Please becareful what you wish for.
Love Apsara.
Hold a job ,the salary did not supported oneself. It's like not having a job at all. These job took full of your time and thus you can not do any side activity therefore is not good for you.Do something else that can support oneself and perhaps some extra for the other necessary.Don't be slave to these foreign with enough salary. Please!!!!
