D1 , why is the news a joke or ill intended. Please explain.

A PHD on criminal justice (written in absolutely impeccable English BTW) does not make Mr T Cambodia's employer of the year.

The union has filed a claim, they do not seem to think it is a joke.

Complaining about no warning, I have bee laid off several times in my 40+ year working life, and never got advance warning, just a handshake.

The reporter of this report must be an amateur, or he or she must be very unprofessional. Is Mfone owed by Dr. Thaksin Shinawatra? This news must be a joke or ill-intended!
