UN rights envoy hails Cambodia for aiding returned migrant workers

PHNOM PENH, June 24 (Xinhua) -- A visiting United Nations human rights envoy on Tuesday praised the Cambodian government for its prompt efforts to assist over 232,000 Cambodian migrant workers who had been deported from or fled Thailand in fears of a junta's clampdown on illegal foreign workers.
"I commend the prompt efforts by the Cambodian government, at both national and sub-national levels, to transport people from the border areas back to their communities and to assist the returnees in the process of reintegration," Surya P. Subedi, UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia, said in a news conference at the conclusion of his human rights fact-finding mission in Cambodia.
A mass exodus of Cambodian migrant workers came after the Thai military regime warned early this month that illegal foreign workers could face arrest and deportation.
Subedi also urged the Thai junta to look into the reported deaths of several Cambodian migrant workers during their roundup on illegal migrant laborers.
"I am of the view that the Thai government should investigate the reported deaths of Cambodians in Thailand and ascertain the reasons behind the sudden return of such large numbers of Cambodians," he said.
As remittances from migrant workers are an essential source of income for many rural communities in Cambodia, the envoy urged the two governments to facilitate through legal channels the return to Thailand of the migrant workers who wish to do so.
It was estimated that more than 300,000 Cambodian laborers were working and only about 90,000 of them had work permits in Thailand before junta's clampdown on illegal migrant workers.
Cambodian Minister of Labor Ith Samheng said last week that Cambodian migrant laborers in Thailand had sent home about 200 million U.S. dollars a year.
On Tuesday, Ith Samheng held a meeting with representatives of about 40 recruitment firms to talk about formalizing the procedure for sending migrant workers to Thailand legally.
"The Ministry of Labor requires all Cambodian recruitment agencies to make contracts with their Thai counterparts," said a ministry's statement released after the meeting.
"In the contracts, they must state clearly about the numbers and types of laborers the Thai side needs."
The ministry also required working contracts between Cambodian migrant workers and Thai companies, the statement said, adding that to be eligible to work in Thailand, a Cambodian worker will be required to pay 49 U.S. dollars for a labor card, a passport, a working visa from the Thai embassy, and cover travel and food cost to Thai border.

  2. A multi-joining privacy bathroom for extended family

    Usually, bathroom is used only for one person at a time. However, designers Darren Genner and Simona Castagna has brought a unique bathroom suite that allow many to join with a still-high privacy. They stated that this is an ideal solution for big family that has many kids.

    "Both bathrooms have a blade wall in the center, so amenities could be positioned on both sides in addition to the perimeter walls," says Genner. "In the family bathroom, for example, we tucked the toilet and shower behind this wall, and positioned the vanity on the front. This means that potentially the room can be used by more than one child at a time without closing a door – there is still a certain amount of privacy."

    This bathroom design is not only functionally useful for multi-joining but also has the designers also embedded the latest technology and artistic look to complement the purpose of their creation as well, As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed.
