Re: Cynical NGO advertising from Sunrise Cambodia
She was reportedly let go almost exactly one year after this post. Sunrise were going to great lengths on their Facebook page to distance themselves from Perry e.g. insisting to critics that she’d had nothing to do with them since November last year. That was on their Review section which they’ve n...

Re: Bald "ex special forces" top bloke threatens to kill everyone at restaurant
SAS..Special forces, Seals,etc never ever disclose freely, and loathe to be exposed. Never ever? The Seal Team 6 guy who allegedly killed Bin Laden isn't shy about publicizing his identity or whereabouts at every opportunity. Yeah, in addition to the guys selling tickets on themselves, it seems tha...

Re: Cambodia Daily slapped with multimillion dollar tax bill
Right, so the cancellation of exactly half of Cambodia's free print press leaving one outlet is something to celebrate, apparently. Stockholm Syndrome, much? I suspect that you meant to insert an 'English Language Press' bit in there somewhere ... Sent from my SM-G928C using Tapatalk Yeah, that was...

Re: James Ricketson arrested at CNRP rally
I know a tuktuk driver who is a samdech and a general, and I'll raise this issue with him immediately, because this kind of absurdity cannot be allowed to stand.

Re: Overnight car parking at the Cambodian/Vietnam borders
FWIW also I have made arrangements to leave a car at multiple border crossings on the Cambodian side -- none of them border crossings with Vietnam, admittedly, although I don't see why it should be any different. I think the longest period was a week or more. I don't think it's worth leaving your ca...

Re: Wire Transfers
ABA are bloody good. I'm beginning to wonder why anyone banks with anyone else. As far as I know they're the only ATMs where you can take out $1000 cash from overseas accounts as well. My work banks with ANZ Royal corporate who generously offered not so long ago to enable this amazing thing called ...

Re: Wire Transfers

Re: English Vice-Principal of Golden Bridge School, Mark Smith arrested for sex with a 5yr old after FB allegations
From that point they are remanded in custody pending trial. In the USA defendants usually get bail barring exceptional circumstances. Anyway, this and Scobienz' post are all beside the point -- where has it been reported that he's been charged? There was a secretary of state being quoted as saying ...

Re: English Vice-Principal of Golden Bridge School, Mark Smith arrested for sex with a 5yr old after FB allegations
Ollie the Belgian was held for quite a while, then released. He was arrested and held for two days and then was formally charged, according to coverage in the PPP from the time. The indefinite detention of foreigners without charge seems to be a new thing, and in fact was being cheered on just the ...

That ripper feeling when it sadly turns out that the ripper feeling you're deeply invested in is basically just a ripper feeling.

Re: Cynical NGO advertising from Sunrise Cambodia
I guess the angle here is all about how to monetise white guilt and generally feeling aggrieved. How fitting that Geraldine Cox has decided to respond to legitimate criticism by weaponising defamation law, taking a page straight out of the playbook of Cambodian kleptocrats. The Australian law studen...

Since then, I heard that crack military units have been busy testing their secret weapons over in Area 2004.
