Reported by Khmerization

135 Cambodians had been arrested by 30 Thai soldiers on the Banteay Meanchey-Sakeo border areas, reports Deum Ampil newspaper.

Deum Ampil quoted Thai Asean News Network as saying that the 56 men, 50 women, 12 boys and 12 girls had been arrested on 12th May in an area on the Banteay Meanchey-Sakeo borders.

The arrests took place when the Thai villagers reported to the Thai authority that those Cambodians had illegally entered Thailand and had damaged their rice and potato crops.


The arrested Cambodians said that because of poverty, they had entered Thailand to work in the Thai rice-fields and potato farms to earn a living, says Deum Ampil.

Deum Ampil reported that, after the arrests, the Thai authority contacted the Cambodian authority to take back those illegal workers through mutual agreements between the two countries.

The Thai farmers didn't want to pay the Khmer workers their salary, so they called the Thai police to arrest them. It happened like this many times already. Poor Khmers, they didn't get their pay and to add insult to injury, they are arrested as well.

The Thai employers or farmers are very dishonest. they employed the Khmer illegal workers, but when the works are finished they called the Thai police to arrest them because they don't want to pay the Khmer workers their salary.

I have to completely concur with you. Yes, in the not-too-distant future, the Thai will pay--severely.
