And it just keeps getting messier and grubbier.
Email suggests 'major backer' promised to help win $344,000 case against Cambodian newspaper http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-0 ... fmredir=sm
And still the Post hasn't answered why, if Dawe did all of these things leading to his dismissal with cause, they didn't file criminal charges against him at the time of his dismissal even if just to have that complaint on record as having been filed.

It's a fair question, but I think you're overly obsessed with that. A lot of companies don't call the police when they uncover misconduct by executives that may be criminal. They just try to to resolve the matter internally. This is probably especially the case when it's a Western company operating in a country that has no effective rule of law.fotojourn wrote: And still the Post hasn't answered why, if Dawe did all of these things leading to his dismissal with cause, they didn't file criminal charges against him at the time of his dismissal even if just to have that complaint on record as having been filed.
The bigger issue here is the allegation that the Cambodian regime is using Dawe as a pawn to shut down the Post by having regime-aligned agents backing the lawsuit and influencing the courts.

Allegations? From an unsubstantiated, unconfirmed, non-displayed email? We had those accusations on April 5. We asked Holmes to substantiate his accusations. He refused to. We refused to attack the victim with accusations that have never been raised prior to when the bailiffs went to enforce his judgment.gavinmac wrote:It's a fair question, but I think you're overly obsessed with that.

Dawe said the email wasn't his. Where is there anything to counter that? Or that it exists? We exhibited all of the material we relied on.
Failing to file a police or civil claim against Dawe if he had done what has been claimed would amount to appalling corporate governance and would say a lot about the way the Post is managed. First rule of business. CYA (cover your ass). No paper, pay later. Dawe filed suit for unfair dismissal, breach of contract, whatever. Where is the counter claim?
Sorry, but to me these accusations lack any semblance of credibility.
Why would the government even need a pawn with a $260k value in a game where the opponent is $5 million short of standing a chance? The $260k owed to Dawe is a piss in the ocean compared to the $50k allegedly offered to settle a 7 year tax dispute.
I imagine Dawe just wants the money he’s owed before the ship sinks. I think that’s fair. I also read he’s in Thailand for cancer treatment. So it’s a cancer patient they’re defaming, a cancer patient who the court ruled is owed $260k, and people are okay with attacks on him like that?
Allow me to guess. Was he fired shortly after being diagnosed with cancer?

How did you get the email? How does everyone keep getting this email when no one is willing to authenticate it? I think he sent it to the Post, and the Post has leaked it to other press, but the post is too stupid and rudderless to publicly say "Look at what this clown sent us"fotojourn wrote: Allegations?

West Australian mining magnate Bill Clough has announced the sale of The Phnom Penh Post to a Malaysian investor following a dispute over a tax bill, raising fresh concerns over free speech in Cambodia.
Under the deal, Post Media Co Ltd - which includes The Phnom Penh Post and Post Khmer publications - will be acquired by Sivakumar G, known as Siva, for an undisclosed sum.
"The region is full of turbulence and the recent changes within Cambodia ahead of, leading up to, the upcoming elections, has put the spotlight on the Phnom Penh Post, as the last remaining truly independent media group in the country," Clough said in a statement on Saturday.
"There have been rumours flying in all directions with questions about our ongoing survival, which we hope that now we can finally dispel."
The Phnom Penh Post was once described as "the greatest little newspaper in the world" after it was established by Americans Michael Hayes and Kathleen O'Keefe in 1992, when United Nations peacekeepers arrived in Cambodia and established a framework for democracy.
It built an enviable reputation for fierce, independent journalism. Hayes sold the newspaper to Clough in 2008.
However, independent media has suffered in recent times amid a recent crackdown by the government, led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, which has banned broadcasts by Radio Free Asia, Voice of America and Voice of Democracy.
The Cambodia Daily closed in September last year after it was hit with a multimillion-dollar tax bill. The front page of the newspaper's final edition was headlined: 'Descent into outright dictatorship'.
On the same weekend, opposition leader Kem Sokha was charged with treason and jailed amid accusations by human rights groups that the government was shutting down any form of criticism ahead of elections due on July 29.
Online news outlet AEC News in March said the Phnom Penh Post would need a massive cash injection within 60 days and quoted computer hackers as saying Post Media Co Ltd had been hit with a tax penalty of $4.9 million.
Sources close to the newspaper confirmed the tax bill and said Clough "went ballistic" over the penalty, threatening to close the 26-year-old newspaper unless the tax department backed off.
Nathan Thompson, President of the Overseas Press Club of Cambodia, said the paper had been "a stalwart voice of independent journalism in a country tumbling down press freedom ratings".
He was referring to the latest report by Reporters Sans Frontieres, ranking Cambodia at 142nd spot on its annual press freedom index. It had plunged 10 places in the rankings over the previous year.
The last remaining English language daily is The Khmer Times, also owned by a Malaysian investor, which has been sharply criticised for being strongly pro-government in its reporting and editorials.
Clough added the newspaper had been challenged by a "worldwide decline in market share for newspaper advertising" while requiring continued investment in digital technology.
