Written by Nguon Sovan The Phnom Penh Post, Friday, 11 July 2008 About 600 or 700 people, some 10 percent of them children, scrape together livelihoods in Phnom Penh’s Stung Meanchey dump, collecting recyclables while braving heaps of dangerous medical waste contaminated with such diseases as HIV, tuberculosis and hepatitis.
“Bags of blood, human parts such as hands, legs, lungs, livers, whole babies and heads are found in that medical waste,” said Kuo Sineth, a 21-year-old gleaner. |

Written by Kay Kimsong The Phnom Penh Post, Friday, 11 July 2008 Cambodia will export guest workers to Qatar under a memorandum of understanding currently being negotiated, a senior official at the Ministry of Labor told the Post on July 8. The negotiations commenced following the visit of a Qatari delegation in early April led by Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani to set up diplomatic relation between the two nations. The ministry official said he was unsure of the numbers of Cambodian workers that would be authorized, but said they would need to acquire additional skills to work outside of Cambodia. He called on Cambodians to stop working illegally in Thailand. To be safe, he said, workers should apply for jobs abroad via a lawful employment agency. Cambodia has already sent as many as 20,000 guest workers to Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand. |
