“Objects in museums have to come from somewhere. The stories of how they came to be in those collections often involve laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence.” — Matthew Campbell Imagine a gay Jeffrey Epstein who set up shop in Thailand. Only rather than peddling young girls, he traded in bodybuilders and priceless antiquities. That's the story of the British émigré Douglas Latchford, the subject of Matthew Campbell's new book The Man Who Stole the Gods. It's the true story of a man who was born in the last days of the British Raj, made his fortune in Bangkok, became the world's leading dealer of Khmer antiquities, and was indicted for criminal conspiracy in 2019. Campbell's tale is simultaneously a crime story, a history of Cambodia, and a parable about the relationship between Western wealth and the world's cultural heritage. The Khmer Empire, which dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, produced one of the finest civilisations of the medieval world. Angkor in the twelfth century had 750,000 people — making it ten times the size of London. After the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, every Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces went to the Metropolitan Museum, to Christie's, to private American collectors. Latchford was the central conduit. The Jeffrey Epstein enabler. Like Epstein, Latchford got away with it for years. Unlike Epstein, he died a free man, even chalking up a 2020 New York Times obituary as a Khmer antiquities expert. Five Takeaways •       Douglas Latchford: The British Jeffrey Epstein of Asian Art: Born in the last days of the British Raj, educated in the UK, Latchford made his fortune in Bangkok and became the world's leading dealer of Southeast Asian antiquities — selling pieces for millions of dollars to the Metropolitan Museum, Christie's, and wealthy American collectors. He presented himself as an expert and connoisseur. He gave to universities and lent to exhibitions. He received a glowing obituary in the New York Times in August 2020. The dark side: he was, Campbell shows, the central organiser of a decades-long criminal conspiracy to loot Cambodia's cultural heritage. He was indicted in 2019 but died before he could be extradited. •       The Khmer Empire: 750,000 People When London Had 40,000: The Khmer Empire dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, ruling directly or indirectly over what is now Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and parts of Malaysia. Its capital, Angkor, had 750,000 people in the twelfth century — when London had 40,000 at the absolute outside. The Khmer built extraordinary temple cities — Angkor Wat is only the most famous — and produced remarkable stone and bronze sculpture. Every single Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces all went somewhere. A great many came to the West. •       The Vietnam War, Nixon, Kissinger, and the Conditions for Genocide: The Vietnam War is central to Campbell's story. The Ho Chi Minh Trail ran partly through Cambodia, making Cambodia of great interest to Nixon and Kissinger. Beginning in 1968, large-scale American bombing of Cambodia — ostensibly aimed at destroying a supposed communist headquarters that, Campbell notes, never actually existed — helped destabilise the country and created the conditions in which the Khmer Rouge could emerge. The Khmer Rouge ideology: Pol Pot believed civilisation needed not to be reformed but erased. A blank slate. Rebuild from zero. •       The Museum World's Complicity: The Sackler Parallel: The Metropolitan Museum of Art features prominently in Campbell's account. Objects in museums have to come from somewhere — the works in the Met did not originate in New York. How they came to be in those collections often involved laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence. Campbell draws a parallel with Patrick Radden Keefe's account of the Sacklers: the more investigative journalists look at the wealthy donors and private collectors associated with major cultural institutions, the more troubling the stories that emerge. The museum world has a serious provenance problem. •       The Happy Ending: Repatriation and the National Museum in Phnom Penh: Latchford was indicted in 2019 for criminal conspiracy. He died in 2020, in a monastery in Northern Thailand, before he could be extradited. He never went to trial. But the recovery effort — a remarkable collaboration between Cambodia and the US Department of Justice — tracked down hundreds of stolen objects through meticulous detective work. The pieces have been returned to Cambodia. The National Museum in Phnom Penh now has so many repatriated objects that it is running out of room and may need to build a new wing. As Campbell says: that's a good problem to have. About the Guest Matthew Campbell is an award-winning investigative journalist at Bloomberg Businessweek.

In 1885, the China Inland Mission recruited seven remarkable upper-class young men in Cambridge who left behind prospects of international cricket, army service, the enjoyment of large estates, ecclesiastical advancement and commercial success to preach the gospel in China.  In 1975 OMF asked for single men willing to go into Cambodia to minister in a time of revival whilst the Khmer Rouge were advancing on Phnom Penh. Men were found. They went and ministered.Listen here to find out more.

Ingen annan demokrati i världen besökte Pol Pots Kambodja så många gånger som Sverige. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Den här dokumentären är en repris och sändes för första gången år 1999.Det var i april 1975 som den kambodjanska befrielserörelsen besegrade USA och intog Phnom Penh. Inom timmar skar de nya makthavarna av alla förbindelser med utlandet. Världen häpnade inför denna mystiska och förvirrande revolution som verkade ha utbrutit. Snart spred sig rykten om avrättningar och blixtsnabb och fullständig utrymning av landets alla städer.De svenska besöken till Kambodja började ett år efter utrymningen av Phnom Penh och ägde rum medan den kambodjanska katastrofen pågick.Vad såg de svenska besökarna, till exempel Jan Myrdal, diplomaterna Jean-Christophe Öberg och Kaj Björk, eller den socialdemokratiske politikern Birgitta Dahl? Och vad berättade de när de kom ut ur det stängda landet?Blev de sanningsvittnen? Eller försenade de upptäckten av vad som pågick?Genom arkiv och i bibliotek, och genom att tala med de som själva var med söker sig Bosse Lindquist fram till svar i den här P1 Dokumentären från 1999.

In this episode of A Little Faith, Micahel interviews Stephanie Keating about her mission work in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and the faith crisis she faced when COVID upended her life. Sponsored by WCF, Stephanie moved to Cambodia in 2017 to teach English and the Bible, eventually marrying a Cambodian brother Pisey in early 2020. As borders shut, work disappeared, and she became pregnant, Stephanie returned to Canada in July 2020 while Pisey stayed behind. Their applications for him to come to Canada were repeatedly refused, leaving them separated for nearly two years; Pisey first held their son Elisha at 17 months old. Stephanie shares anger, grief, and the struggle of “unanswered prayers,” and the scriptures that anchored her. 2 Kings 6 and Job 5:17–18 both stand out to Stephanie to help her frame suffering, and help her deepen her faith.

And her response was, it's not your time. And it was so profound that it sent a cold chill through my body.Lesley Logan 0:16  I have chills right in this moment. Angie Hawkins 0:18  Yeah, and I in that moment, I was like, okay, I think I have a purpose. And I was determined to figure out what it was.Lesley Logan 0:28  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 1:11  All right, Be It babe. When I met this woman, I knew I had to have her on because she she had, in her story you're gonna hear so much of you, and then you're going to hear her transformation, and it's what a lot of you are trying to be it till you see. I will say, in her journey, we do have, we do discuss a suicide attempt. If that is something that's going to activate you today, please honor yourself. It isn't, doesn't go into detail, but it's, it's a part of her journey. And I do think it is worthy to hear the whole journey of how she got to where she is, how she becomes the inner glow coach that she is, and also like how you can have inner glow in your life, and how that changes things. And she's just so authentic and so cool. And I'm really jazzed for you to hear this. So here's Angie Hawkins. Lesley Logan 1:57  Hey, Be It babe. I'm really excited and ready for this conversation. Our guest today is Angie Hawkins, and I think you're gonna hear a lot of similarities in her story and her journey and what she's working on. If you have ever felt like you've done all the things and it's still not working, today's episode is for you. So Angie Hawkins, can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at?Angie Hawkins 2:19  Yes. Hi everyone. Thank you for having me, Lesley. I am an inner glow coach, and what that means is I help high achieving women stop chasing love and approval and everything outside of themselves, and actually radiate it from within, so they can finally feel happy, free and loved for who they are. And I am also the author of Running in Slippers, which is a raw and vulnerable memoir, that the whole point of the book, because it's very vulnerable, is to encourage connection through vulnerability, because that's how we truly connect as human beings. Lesley Logan 2:49  I couldn't agree more. Also, if you're not watching this beautiful woman on our YouTube channel, are those fresh flowers in your hair? Where are you living right now that you get to have those beautiful flowers in your hair?Angie Hawkins 3:01  I live in Hawaii, so yes, I have fresh flowers in my earrings.Lesley Logan 3:05  Oh, my god, stop. Well, okay, so Running in Slippers, like, most like, I feel like there's a book like, Running in Heels, which already sounds terrible, Running in Slippers isn't easy to do either. Can we go into like, can we get vulnerable a little bit and talk about, like, how did that title come about? Like, what? What is the journey that you had to go on? Because I do think, by the way, if you're listening, we all get to go on a journey like that is the beautiful thing about this life. And sometimes I think we feel like, why is this happening to me? But there's something we get to learn from that. So can you, can we hear yours?Angie Hawkins 3:36  Yes, I love that. And first of all, I before I get into my whole story, which, honestly, the book Running in Slippers gets into all the details, because what I'm going to give you is just the high level cliff notes version. But I live in Hawaii, and we call flip flops, slippers, so it really means running in flip flops.Lesley Logan 3:52  Even harder, even more dangerous.Angie Hawkins 3:55  So, but the reason I titled the book that way is because it's a metaphor for life, because life, it can be fun, playful and adventurous, but it can also be difficult, painful and scary, just like running in flip flops. Lesley Logan 4:07  Yeah, oh, that's so funny. Can you tell I'm totally not an island girl and I do call them slippers. And they can be, like, very childlike, like, you're running on the beach, like, it's really cool, and then you all of a sudden are running on a slippery sidewalk. And, yeah. Angie Hawkins 4:21  Exactly. So, yeah. I think once people understand what it means, it's relatable. And if you do read the book, or anyone listening, if you do read the book, I explained that immediately in the introduction, so that people don't think I'm actually running in house slippers or like that just ruins the whole meeting. I think.Lesley Logan 4:39  I mean, well, you know what? Actually like I was picturing, like you going through something, just like being a girl in her house shoes like running, chasing a dream down.Angie Hawkins 4:48  I think there's so many metaphors, yeah.Lesley Logan 4:51  Awesome. Well, let's get into the Cliff Notes. I love it. Angie Hawkins 4:55  Yes. So basically, like most people, my origin story starts in childhood. And I was raised in a household where the most succinct way to say it is that my both of my parents were extremely emotionally unavailable. And as an adult, I understand what that means, and I have the tools to process that and understand it. But as a little girl, I didn't have those tools, and the way I interpreted the situation is that I thought that I didn't deserve to be loved. So very early, early on in life, I developed this belief. And as most of us are aware, your beliefs dictate your behaviors, and then that dictates what you attract into your life. So needless to say I struggled for many years because I was a people pleaser. I was the one who was chasing love and approval outside of myself. I was the overachiever, because I thought to earn the love and respect and approval, I had to have a high position at work, or I ran marathons for a while, and that became my identity, like I had to get a good time. I was reaching for everything outside of myself, yet I still felt extremely unhappy and unfulfilled, and I was at a point in life where I honestly didn't even think that was available to me. I thought this is just how life was. I didn't think I was worthy of it. I thought it was just something that other people had. So if I was viewing someone else who was happy and fulfilled in their life, it just didn't even seem attainable for me. So even though I was very unhappy, I just kind of went along life, not really knowing what to do about it, like I would read self help books or, you know, do something like go to yoga, or have, like a spiritual practice or something, and that would provide short term a short term fix, but I didn't really have anything implemented for a long term change. And the first real turning point came in 2017, my boyfriend broke up with me, and then my dad passed away, and I was 37 years old, and I had spent 37 years avoiding my feelings, doing everything I could not to feel them, but I was in such profound grief that it was impossible not to feel my feelings, yet I didn't have the tools for emotional regulation. So the best way to say it was I felt like shit for most of that year because I was just sitting in these feelings that I didn't know what to do with. And 2018 came around, and I was probably like, in this New Year's resolution energy, and I decided that I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. And I decided, like, I wanted to make some changes, and I wanted to be happy. I was living in Chicago at the time, and that's when I decided I wanted to move from Chicago to Hawaii.Lesley Logan 7:49  Major differences. Huge differences. Angie Hawkins 7:52  Yes and I will say it was well intentioned, because I was actually taking agency over my life. I was doing something to make a change and be happier. It was not well intentioned, and that I was still reaching for something outside of myself to be the thing that made me feel better, because I wanted the change in location to be the thing that made me happy. And this will probably not come as a surprise, you cannot move away from your problems, so I moved 4000 miles away, and I still had the exact same issues. Not only that, I developed a whole new roster of problems. So, for example, in 2018 remote work was not the trendy thing to do, but I was very fortunate, because my job allowed me to move and keep my job. But at the exact same time that I moved there was this huge management shake up at work that threatened my role, and because I was in this victim mentality of like this is all that's available to me and like this happening to me. I for the first year that I lived here, I lived in constant fear of losing my job. I had a really hard time making friends when I first moved here, which was something I had never dealt with before. So struggling with making friends, being thousands of miles away from anyone I knew, felt extremely isolating. Lesley Logan 9:10  Yeah, and you're in an island, so it's already isolated.Angie Hawkins 9:13  Exactly, exactly. So it's like I didn't have, you know, I just felt really lonely, basically. And the last major thing that happened when I moved here is like to prove how all in and committed I was to my decision. I bought a condo, but then a month after my condo closed, a shared pipe backflowed into my bathroom and I wasn't home, so my entire condo flooded. Yes. So this is all this is all right off the bat. So again, I'm expecting the change to be the thing that makes me feel better, and everything was falling apart. Lesley Logan 9:46  And you're literally doing everything it says I got to go all in, got to burn the boat. You got to buy that condo without the pike being checked. Oh my god, and you haven't even hit Covid yet, shit. Angie Hawkins 9:58  Well, that brings me to Covid because, so that was 2018 right? So, and I'm trying to be like I was totally emotionally bypassing my feelings. I'm like, It's fine, I got this, but I'm not even exaggerating when I say the next two years it was like thing after thing, like my grandma died, like there was always something, and because I didn't have that emotional foundation within myself, because everything outside of me was unraveling. I was unraveling, and then Covid happened. So I don't even have to explain how that exacerbated the situation, just, but the straw, the straw that broke the camel's back was the end of a relationship during Covid. And I just had this moment where, and I think we all have this. I still have these moments where it's like I can't take this anymore, but unfortunately, layered on top of that feeling was the sheer feeling of hopelessness, because nothing had been going well, and I truly could not see any hope for the future, and that is such a dangerous place to be, so I intentionally overdosed on my anxiety medication, and I spent a day and a half unconscious in my bathroom. I spent another day and a half in the hospital.Lesley Logan 11:09  Wait, no one knew you were in your bathroom?Angie Hawkins 11:12  No, I miraculously, I was blacked out. I miraculously texted a friend and she took me to the hospital. That's the only way I was transported. Lesley Logan 11:22  Oh my god. What a story. Oh my god. Oh my god. You're like, this is crazy.Angie Hawkins 11:28  And then where I'll end is I was released from the hospital, and I called a friend, I told her everything that happened, and I ended with, I can't believe I didn't die. And her response was, it's not your time. And it was so profound that it sent a cold chill through my body. Lesley Logan 11:48  I have chills right in this moment. Angie Hawkins 11:49  Yeah and I in that moment, I was like, okay, I think I have a purpose. And I was determined to figure out what it was.Lesley Logan 12:00  Oh my gosh. I just want to say thank you for sharing your story. I'm so glad there was something in you that texted a friend, and I'm also glad that that friend wasn't on, like, Do Not Disturb like, I oh my god. I'm that friend. I'm the Do Not Disturb friend. I this. I would.Angie Hawkins 12:14  My phone's always on silent.Lesley Logan 12:17  I gotta figure this out. There's gotta be a bypass for people. But like, I It's so clear, not only is it not your time, but there was a part of you that was always trying to figure this out. I think in hearing your story like, there was this part of you that's like, I am, there is more for me out there, but like you so there's and I think we all have this. I think so many of my listeners who are here like they know there is more, and yet, when they try to do the more something happens. There's always a thing that happens, like, they make more money, and then a huge bill happens. They break up with the toxic relationship, and then this thing happens, and now they're alone. Like, I you know, there's a whole thing. It's like everything is in balance. Like, you get a good thing and you need a bad thing. But like, also sometimes we're just not ready. If you don't have the muscle for that, then it just feels like you're getting beat while you're down. Angie Hawkins 13:07  Exactly. And I think we're saying the same thing, but I look at it as, for example, in my situation, my brain and my heart felt like they didn't want to be here, but my soul, or higher self, or whatever you want to call it, really did. So I think there's always this part of us, and we're all connected to our intuition or higher self, whether we're like, in tune to it or not, but there's always that part of us that's calling us to this higher purpose or something else, but then we have to deal with the realities of the real world. Lesley Logan 13:38  Yeah. So you wake up in this hospital and you now, like, it's not your time, but like, you have to then get out of the hospital and and figure so how do you, how do you do that? Like, where do you start? Because, like, there's a million books, there's a million courses, there's 17 million charlatans, you could end up in a cult real easily, you know. So how did you, how did you figure it out?Angie Hawkins 14:01  Well, I don't know if this is lucky or unlucky, but because at the time this happened, I was 40 years old, and I had spent out of my 30s reading all the books, doing all the workshops, doing all of that stuff. But again, it had only provided like something short term. It really didn't give any meaningful long term change in my life. So fast forward to when, you know, my friend told me that, and I decided, like, okay, I need to get help, and I need to get help the right way. I decided to invest in myself and actually hire a coach, because it had been something I was thinking about. But when you're not fully committed to a decision, you're just kind of in this wishy-washy energy. And in addition to that, again, I was in the state of not really feeling worthy of investing in myself or putting in the time, energy or money. But when you're desperate like I was, because keep in mind, I felt worse than I did before I took the pills and yeah like, I can't explain what almost dying does to you, but there were several weeks where I had one foot on the other side of the veil, which was kind of a scary experience in its own so for several weeks, my only goal was to make it through the day. So I was so desperate for help, and I knew I had to get help the right way that like, the first thing I did was reach out to a coach. And again, this just happened to be luck, because in my I call it like from the time I got out of the hospital out I call that my healing in earnest journey, but my healing not in earnest. I had gone to this healing intensive, and I had met this coach, and he was actually a men's dating coach, but he doesn't teach, like pick up artists type stuff. He teaches men how to be the best versions of themselves so that they can attract the right partner. So we followed each other on Instagram. So all of his messaging, even though it was, like, geared toward men, it was about being the best version of yourself. So I had thought about reaching out to him before, but now that I was desperate, I'm like, I don't care if he's a men's dating coach, I'm reaching out to him. So I reached out to him. Lesley Logan 16:17  You had trust in him, yeah. Angie Hawkins 16:17  We talked, yeah, yeah. So I was very lucky that I had already made that connection with someone I trusted. Otherwise I would have been searching.Lesley Logan 16:25  Yeah, and like, at a time that, like, I again, there's, there was a party that was already seeking these things out, just those other, the other part of you that was like, like you said, not feeling worthy. And I, I hear this, you know, I just came back from an amazing retreat. And one of the women who came on it, she's like, yeah, I'm one of those people who kept going, oh, I'll do it next time, oh, you know when I have this, then I then I can sign up for it, or when I've done this, then I can sign up for it. And then she's like, fuck it. I'm, I'm worthy to go right now. I'm like, that. Angie Hawkins 16:54  I love that. Lesley Logan 16:55  That right there that makes me so happy. And also, you know, so many people, smart women, listening to this show right now will do that, that little negotiation, oh, when I do this, then I'll be and it's like, you're fucking worthy already. And this is no offense to the parents who are listening. Everyone is doing the best they can, but most of us, somewhere in life along the way, feel like we have to earn the worthiness that we were already born with. Yeah, yeah.Angie Hawkins 17:21  Yes, yeah. And that's where, like, the chasing something outside of yourself come from. Lesley Logan 17:24  Yeah and then that's why you only get those quick little fixes, but it doesn't last. So you found this guy and he helped you, and then what, like, was it like, well, I've made it.Angie Hawkins 17:36  No, it was absolutely a process. I won't sugarcoat that part, because any lasting change is a process, right? But the value and the work that I did with him was, you know, I still have these limiting beliefs, like I'm not worthy, I don't deserve to be loved, blah, blah, blah, but he helped me change my behaviors so that eventually, because if when I started setting healthy boundaries, when I started trusting myself, when I started implementing all the things that we talked about, like over time, that actually changed my beliefs. And so now I do believe I deserve to be loved. I do respect myself, I do trust myself, but that all came like through this process of working with a coach, and that's what ultimately led me, because I was in corporate America for over 20 years, but in stepping into my authentic self and realizing what I want in life, what makes me happy and fulfilled, I realized corporate America was not it, and I also realized that there are so many other women who are now struggling in the same way that I used to struggle. So I was like, I want to help them. So I quit corporate America and became an inner glow coach.Lesley Logan 18:44  I love this. I also love that it's inner glow, like, it's just like, because it's, you know, we we are, most of us are seeking outside of ourselves to change the inside of ourselves. And you just said something about, like, your limiting beliefs, and once you change your beliefs, it's true. Like, we think, okay, well, first of all, this environment, it's not clean. So because this room isn't clean, I can't do the things that I said I was going to do. And then when you don't do the things you said you're gonna do, you don't have confidence. Because that's just, by the way, how confidence works, right? Like, confidence works by doing the thing you said you're gonna do. And so, but then we're like, but we think it's this outside stuff, oh, I gotta make sure that, like, this is just right, or that's just the lighting is just right, but really it's the belief system that we have that affects everything. So can we, do you mind if we go there? Like, can we talk about that? Because, like, if you're someone who typically, you see a people pleaser, and who you know was also, as you mentioned, like, nervous, like, nervous about, like, losing your job. Like, I imagine that the belief systems you had were then causing you to, like, run around and be everything to everybody, and then you have to change the belief systems to be like, nope, not doing that. Like, what's the process? How do you do that?Angie Hawkins 19:52  I mean, it's a whole process, but the whole, and this is what my coaching program is based on, but the overall concept is, we're all born with this light inside of us, but then as we go about life, there's family systems, there's society systems, there's corporate America systems, there's all these systems that if you really think about it, they're just arbitrary rules that someone made up along the way, and we're just blindly following them so we become disconnected from ourselves, and it dims our light. And for example, because I used to be a people pleaser, I would not even question, like, if someone invited me to do something or asked me to do something, I wouldn't even question, like, what do I want to do? What makes me happy and fulfilled? So it's not about and I and this is why I think I struggled with self help when I was healing in my 30s and reaching for things outside of myself, because a lot of it is geared toward fixing yourself or changing something about yourself, but really it's about coming back home to who you are and basing your life off of that. Because when you stop giving your power away to all these external things, you've really stopped caring. Because when you're concerned about, am I living in integrity? Am I happy with who I am as a person? Am I happy with my decisions? You stop caring about what other people think about it.Lesley Logan 21:13  That is so true. That is so true, and so many I was just doing a call with some of the people that I, that I teach today, and, you know, I could tell the question was a very valid question, but I was like, so people, some people like you, if you do it the authentic, the way that's authentic to you, that's also okay, like, they're allowed to go, I don't like that. And it doesn't mean that you're not a great person, you're not a great teacher, but we are so conditioned to be liked, if you're liked, then you did something right?Angie Hawkins 21:45  Yes. And I actually have the opposite viewpoint now, because I totally used to be like that. I wanted everyone to like me, and if someone didn't, then I would like chase after their approval. But now, now I really don't care. And that doesn't mean I don't care about the other person. It's just, it just means that I respect their free will, like, I'm not for everybody, and that's okay, like they have other people that they choose to surround themselves with, and that's okay. I respect who they are as a person, but you have to be like, so grounded in who you are as a person to even get to that point. Lesley Logan 22:17  Yeah, and that's the hard part, because also, if you're so used to trying to anchor in the outside world of who you are, then coming home to yourself, it's gonna feel unfamiliar. And people don't like change, right, like. Angie Hawkins 22:34  Yeah and I think that's why a lot of people resist change, because a huge part in my healing and earnest journey was finding who I was, which was a huge identity shift, because I didn't even know who I was, because I had spent most of my life conforming to all these things outside of myself, and it is very scary. So I was able to see why I had resisted it for so long.Lesley Logan 22:57  Yeah. I mean, it makes me think of like that Runaway Bride, where she like, doesn't, she takes her eggs, you know, and then at the end, she just, you're like, ordering eggs all the different ways so she can figure it out. Because it's like, it is kind of like, well, how do you know you're home? Like, how do you know that you're not, like, conforming again, just another way, you know, that's, can you see, like, where my anxiety will go?Angie Hawkins 23:18  Well, no. Like, one of the first things that my coach worked with me on, and this is one of the first things I work with my clients on, is creating your own rules for life. So you create these value statements, and it's like any decision you make, you just kind of go down the list. Am I doing this? This, this? Then, yep, then I'm good to go. So once you have your own rules for life, it doesn't matter. I mean, as long as you're not breaking the law or anything, which. Lesley Logan 23:43  Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, like, and that's true, like, you're not hurting people, there are rules for your life that affect only you. And I actually love this because, you know, people like, we coach Pilates instructors on their business. And someone's like, why should I do this? And I'm like, what are your values for your business? Does it go through those? And so it makes sense to have rules for life that's just very much a value system of how you want and it's like, does this, you know, does this? Like, I will do things that light me up. I will do things after 9am because I no longer get up early for people like, oh, this person wants to meet at 9am well, then that is a no, yeah.Angie Hawkins 24:20  Well, it's hard to do, but once you have that system in place, life is so much easier, because that's another thing. I used to feel like life was such a struggle, but it was because I was making that way for myself.Lesley Logan 24:32  Yeah, yeah. I think we all, I think a lot of us are doing that. So I guess like, so since you were, can we go back to it like, when you're a people pleaser like that look like, just like being a yes person for whatever people are saying. How do you now respond to people asking things of you, or the like, if you know what I mean, like, what is some what is a way that you're now responding in life to not being a people pleaser and owning things for yourself and owning like the way you want to live?Angie Hawkins 24:58  Yeah? Yeah, I guess it's different for different situations, but because I think I swayed too far, because I first started implementing boundaries when I worked in corporate America, and at first I would just be like, nope, not doing that, nope, but which no it well.Lesley Logan 25:16  Angie used to do everything, now she does nothing.Angie Hawkins 25:19  And no, is a complete sentence, but you do have to take into consideration the circumstance, especially if it's like work for family and friends. But usually I'll just simply explain, like, for example, something that comes up frequently is that people will ask me to have a call on the weekend, and that's just the boundary that I have. I don't do calls on the weekends. I will rearrange any time during my week, like, to some extent, but I just like, that's my personal time where I recharge is the weekend. So if someone is like, I just had someone this week, well, can you do a call on a Saturday? And I was like, no, I'm sorry I don't do calls on the weekends. It was no problem. She's like, oh, sure. I'll find another time during the week. So it's, it seems scary to do, but in most cases, it's not a problem. Now, if she would have said, like, there's absolutely no other time during the week for the foreseeable future, I might have considered it. So it's still not a strict no, but I do protect my energy as much as possible.Lesley Logan 26:18  Yeah, well, and I, but I love the way you phrased it, because you're also educating the person that it's like, instead of saying, like, some people would go, like, like, you do it this one Saturday, but like, that isn't setting a boundary. It's actually like letting them think that that's a thing. And instead, you're like, oh, I don't do calls on the weekends. That is actually like letting people, letting the person know, like, it's not a, no, I don't like you. It's just a you're asking for a time that's not available and isn't available. You know? So, and I think that you know a lot of people who struggle with being liked, feeling worthy, the people pleasing there's, it's, it's such a simple sentence, once you are have arrived, and like knowing that you're worthy, and it's so difficult, because it's like, you just say that. You just say no, I don't do calls on the weekends. It's like, give it a try, you know. But it's hard. It's hard for people. Angie Hawkins 27:06  It is hard. But the funny thing is, it really is that easy, because, like, the first few times I had to say no, because I used to be I used to have zero boundaries, like I couldn't even if someone invited me to do something. I couldn't even say no to that. But when I first started using the word no, like, no, I'm sorry, I need to rest this weekend or whatever, and then they were like, okay, that's fine, because it's very rare that you have people push back. And honestly, the people that do push back on your boundaries are the kind of people you don't want in your life anyway. Lesley Logan 27:36  Yeah, so that becomes a (inaudible) sign.Angie Hawkins 27:39  And it becomes very apparent, very fast, and that's actually helpful information for you. So boundaries are so powerful in so many ways.Lesley Logan 27:48  I do it's really interesting, because some people are like, oh, you're so rigid. I'm like, I'm I'm not rigid. Actually, I just don't, just don't do things on your timeline. I do things on my timeline, and that's okay, because I also don't have expectations that you do things on my timeline, you know, like, but there is a Venn diagram where our timelines will align if it's meant to be together, you know.Angie Hawkins 28:11  But you probably also have a lot of people who respect how self-respecting you are of yourself, because I got to the point where this happened a lot at work, people would compliment me on my boundaries. And I was like, me, like someone who used to not have boundaries? So a lot of people will actually respect you for having boundaries.Lesley Logan 28:29  They totally do, and also like and if they don't, or they're upset about like, I'm like, oh, why is this person getting so upset about the fact that I just I cannot do a call before 9am because you want to know what I'm going to forget it's there, because I don't have to work before 9am so if on a day I have to work before 9am there are three people reminding me that I've got a call at eight because I'll just go, yeah, yeah, you told me. You told me, and it's like good to do. So, like, it's more out of like, my habit is I don't so then I don't have to remember anything extra. But I do, I do, I do think that these things reveal things about people. And it reveals, like, are we gonna work together? Well, you know, like, and I, I do. I do hope people respect my respect that I have so much, such good, grounded boundaries and and also, like, it's because I used to, like you, always have none. And I used to chase, like, if anyone would invite me, I would just go, okay, I'm coming over. Yeah, I'm spending the night. How many nights I'll stay? I'll stay all the nights you want. Like, I wouldn't go home for like, a week. My parents were just like, okay, you know, because, like, I was having so much fun, but also, like, I wasn't actually doing anything for me. I was doing whatever we wanted to do it there, you know. So I all the way until when I got a job. Oh my gosh, Angie, I would get every job I had that was not for myself, I would just keep getting promoted, and I would just say, yes, that's like, the lack of boundaries. Like, okay, yeah, I'll take on that job that I have no idea how to do. No problem. I got it. I'll do it. And like, and you had to quit my job so they wouldn't promote me again, because I couldn't trust myself to turn it down because I needed the money. So it was like, I needed the money. The promotion came with a raise. And also, also, they're like, well, Lesley will always do 150% so she'll just do more than this is being paid for anyways, and, like, so I just, it took me a lot. It took me, like, literally having to quit my job. So I wouldn't say that.Angie Hawkins 30:16  Yeah, and that's why I got really disgruntled with corporate America, because it's, it's like a dysfunctional family, like they will promote the people who have zero boundaries, because they can take advantage of them, amongst other things. Lesley Logan 30:29  Yes, and I also don't even think it's a conscious decision. They're just like, oh, this person does so much. Why wouldn't we want them to do more? So okay, but we do have a lot of people who don't get to quit their job and become an inner glow coach. So like, if, if people want to work on their inner glow, but then have to, like, work within corporate America. Like, is there hope for them? Can they do it?Angie Hawkins 30:50  I think it depends on the situation. Like, I wish I could say that I just, like, had so much courage and just, you know, wildly, went out on my own. But even after I had the idea that I wanted to quit and start my own business, I still had to have the universe kick me in the butt, because I was transferred to this team, and I basically had a bully as a manager, and it got so bad that I couldn't stand it. And I was like, okay, this is my sign to leave. I think if something is that toxic, your choices are limited, however, like I've been in other situations that were not that toxic, and I do think you can navigate them again, like by having strong boundaries is huge, but having a strong sense of yourself so that they're not taking advantage of you and walking all over you.Lesley Logan 31:37  Yeah, I think, like when you do have strong boundaries, you can recognize that in a company. So if you're like interviewing, you can start to recognize, like, the signs that their boundaries are, you know, that they're like, I had someone, I took a breath work course, and they said there are space makers and there are space takers, and nothing that neither is wrong. But can we all agree, space makers, that you can raise your hand first and space takers, if they ask more of you, it doesn't mean that they're assholes. You just have to say, no. Angie Hawkins 32:07  Yeah and because sometimes it is unintentional. Lesley Logan 32:10  Yeah, I do think so. I think they're just asking. Like, there are people who, like, are good questioners, like, I'm not that person, and they'll just ask. I'm like, oh my god, they just asked that person to write their bio, you know. But like, they're just asking, and, like, it requires other person to go, oh, I actually, I review bios, but I don't write them, you know. So, you know, like, yeah, we have to. I think where people struggle is that they they figure out their boundaries, and maybe you can help with this, they figure what their boundaries are, and then they have to reinforce them, because, unfortunately, there isn't like, like, a rules sheet when you enter this, like, when you enter a call with me, there's not like, here are all the rules I have, right? Like, the rules of engagement. That's not how life works. You're going to be out and about, you're going to run into people, you're gonna be at a grocery store, you're gonna be at a job interview. So, like, how do people like is, how did you navigate having to enforce your boundaries after you got, like, after the pendulum swung all the way and you're like, no, like, how did you like one in the middle to like, enforce boundaries without feeling like you're constantly enforcing your boundaries?Angie Hawkins 33:11  That's a really good question, because the hardest part of boundaries is not setting them, it's enforcing them, because there are people who will intentionally try to walk all over you and try to encroach your boundaries, but to your point earlier, people will unintentionally, like, you know, just try to inch up on them, and you have to be stern on enforcing them. And it could be, and again, it depends on the situation, but it could escalate to the point where it's like, I can no longer talk to you if you'll continue to disrespect my no, I mean that but with enforcing boundaries, not only do you have to state the consequence, you have to be willing to enforce the consequence if they do encroach your boundary again. So it can be difficult, and there have been people in my life that I've had to cut off communication with for that reason, but like in the long run, it makes my mental health so much better, because you don't have that person sucking up your energy anymore.Lesley Logan 34:14  Yeah, yeah, I agree. And also, thank God for technology, because it's so easy to block and bless you can block phone numbers, you can block emails. You can block socials. Like, you can also add them at the time, that's right. But like, you can protect your energy. Angie Hawkins 34:27  Yeah, that's true. Lesley Logan 34:28  I probably should ask you this earlier. But like, can we talk about what inner glow looks like? What it means, like, what is it like? You know, obviously, as we heard your journey, like, you know, obviously, pre the earnest time, maybe no inner glow, but like, what is, what does it mean when we have inner glow? Like, how do we know if we have it?Angie Hawkins 34:47  Well, so the reason I came up with the name Inner Glow is because when I truly started believing like that I loved myself, that I deserved to be loved, and I respected myself, and I believed that I deserve that from other people, it was truly a sensation of in my chest, like it felt like the sun was glowing, like it was like, maybe I can explain it as, like an energetic feeling from the inside out, yeah. But on top of that, I would have other people tell me, like, oh, you're glowing or some people would even just compliment my looks in that like, oh, you look so beautiful. Blah, blah, blah. But I think they were really talking about the reflection of my energy. So the inner glow is radiating in your own love and respect, so much that it's actually radiating to people outside of you. So not only do they see it, but they can be inspired by it, and it's this ripple effect, because I'm of the mindset that you're either contributing to the negative vibration of the universe, because there's plenty of that going on right now, or you're contributing to raising the vibration of the universe. So like this ripple effect even extends out to raising the vibration of the entire universe, because you're sending out, because there's so many things going on in this world right now that it's hard for us to impact on an individual level. But, even just sending that energy of love to certain areas of the world actually does make a difference.Lesley Logan 36:11  It really, you're, you're so I'm glad we're touching on this, because I think it is. It can even feel like, especially in the time that we're talking, it can feel like, well, what's the point? Like, everything is falling apart. So many people have less than me. I'm barely keeping alive. Most of my listeners at the time we're recording this guys, it's October 23rd 2025, and the you know if you're listening to the States, government shutdown. People are hearing that their health insurance can go up to 30,000 or 40,000 a year from nine and and like, you could be like, why should I have an inner glow? How do I even think about glowing when like, this is happening outside of my control, and people have less than and it's in you can almost feel like, what's the point? But you're, what you said it, the point is like the world needs more of us to raise the vibrations and affect, even if you affect the three people that are your neighbors and you show them so much love, it does. It does have a domino effect. It does have this like magnetism effect. I do believe that.Angie Hawkins 37:11  Yeah, and even if you don't think just being in your own positive light is changing the universe, you can actually just pick someone and send positive energy to that person. And trust me, it makes a difference in that person's life.Lesley Logan 37:26  It does. I love that, gosh, Angie, you're so cool. Like, what you're doing is so needed. And I think, like, especially because, you know, I've had, I've heard so many listeners going, I've done this, I've done this. I'm still stuck. I'm still struggling. And I, what I like, I'm gathering from this is like, it's all that outward stuff. It's not, it's not actually going to make the change. It has to be the inner glow. It has to be this inner vibration that you're changing. And that does take time, and it does take a lot of knowing of who you are. And that's a process.Angie Hawkins 38:01  yes, but it is 100% worth it, and I am proof of that. Lesley Logan 38:05  And you're like, at this goal, you've got these gorgeous wallpaper that matches your plants in the background, like you're just glowing, so, well, we could talk forever, and we'll probably have to have another conversation in the future, but we're gonna take a brief break and then find out how people can find you, follow you, and work with you. Lesley Logan 38:22  All right. Angie, the Inner Glow Coach, where do you hang out? Obviously, Hawaii. But Can people work with you online? Where should they go? What? What should they grab?Angie Hawkins 38:30  Yes, please visit my website. It is runninginslippers.com which is also the name of my book. So there's obviously information on where to buy the book. It's on paperback, Kindle and audiobook, and I do narrate the audio book, but there's also information on my coaching program. My current coaching program is called Shine From the Inside, and I do offer Free 60-Minute Find Your Glow sessions. So we will talk for an hour about whatever you're struggling with, and at the end, I will give recommendations for going forward, because you know, my, me and my coaching program are not for everyone, and I am okay with that. So if we're not a good fit, I know other coaches, I know therapists. I have other resources that I can refer you to. The entire goal of the call is to get you help, because again, I am confident that there are other women struggling in the same way I was, and you do not have to live that life that way. Lesley Logan 39:26  Oh my god, an hour call and, you guys, take advantage, because, you know.Angie Hawkins 39:31  Everyone I've done a call with has a breakthrough on that call, because an hour is a long time. Lesley Logan 39:36  Yeah, oh, you're so good. Okay, you have given us a lot already, but we do at the show like to have a little, not a too long didn't listen, but just like a little summary and like an actionable step we can take, because we are high performers who are listening to this podcast. So bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it, what do you have for us? Angie Hawkins 39:55  Number one is to decide, because any meaningful change. Your life comes from a decision, and the reason that is is because if you're not committed, you're going to be in the squishy, washy energy. And that's where you hear people say stuff like, well, I tried and it's not working, or I'm trying, and if you're not committed to something, you're going to quit the second it gets hard, but when you're committed to your decision, then the only choice is to stay on that path and figure out if something isn't working, and then you'll figure out what does. So I know it sounds simplistic, but when you make a decision to do something, you're committed and all in and that's when the real change happens. That's when lasting change happens. Number two is to take action. And I know you talk about this a lot, so I won't dwell on that. But number three, which is in conjunction with taking action, is about your nervous system, because a lot of people think that confidence and courage is about not being afraid, and taking action is about feeling the fear and doing it anyway. So before you take action, you need to prime your nervous system. So an easy way to do that is to just like, sit up straight, breathe. Some people do the Superman pose. What I do if I'm doing something in public, I call it the goddess walk, or the celebrity walk. I will walk into a place like I own it, even if I'm like, a nervous wreck and falling apart on the inside, but it's priming your nervous system to feel the fear and do it anyway, and just overall, your nervous system regulation. Because I used to be the kind of person I would let anxiety and fear just absolutely take over me, but now I have the tools to actually feel safe in my own body while I'm feeling those feelings and knowing that they're not going to consume me and overwhelm me so nervous system regulation and feeling safe in your own body while you're feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Lesley Logan 41:50  Oh my god, I'm obsessed. Okay, I have a fun story for you, and this will be a great way for people to have an example of that goddess walk. So in Cambodia, in our town, in our village, there's, there's a couple street lights now in the city, which is really annoying because I think it's causing more traffic. And people have now decided to have cars instead of motos. I don't know why you'd want to be in a car going 20 miles an hour when you could be in a moto going 25 but that's fine. At any rate, you just have to cross the street. Okay, so I don't know if you ever been to Southeast Asia, but you just have to cross the street. And these went. Lesley Logan 42:21  I have been to Indonesia. Lesley Logan 42:22  Correct. Okay, there, yes. So you have to cross the street and they and you can't, you cannot stop. If you stop, that's when you you fuck it all up, because now the bike was like expecting you to continue going, and they were gonna be right behind you, and now you stopped, and now they have to swerve, but then there's somebody behind so it becomes a domino effect. And when I first went to Cambodia, we were in Phnom Penh, and I saw this, she could have been seven years old, and she had a little kid who I don't know, barely walking in her hand. You guys, this was a five-lane wide on any American street, but probably, like 10-lane wide in Europe, because, like, you know how the streets are really wide in the States. Anyways, she put her hand up and just crossed the street with this little kid, and she just had her hand up, seven years old, and she just crossed. I saw the first time I was in Phnom Penh, I saw this, and I was like, look at that girl. Look at that confidence, right? But when we moved, it to Siem Reap, we do our time there. I channel that girl every time. So when I cross the street, I just throw my arms up and I just walk like it's my fucking street, and you can go around me. And so these women are like, okay, can we go, and I'm like, what we're gonna do is we're gonna open our arms and we're gonna walk and we're gonna own this place. And by the oh my god, by the end, Angie, everyone is just like going.Angie Hawkins 43:37  I love that story. I love that. That's a perfect example. Lesley Logan 43:41  Walking. It's like, the Miss Congeniality, like I'm walking here, but like, like, hello, like, open, good vibes. And it's just so funny. And now to be home, and I'm like, oh, I'm just, I have to wait for the light. Angie Hawkins 43:53  Or do you? Maybe you could do that here. Lesley Logan 43:59  It's so fun. It's so fun. But I love that, because you do have to, you said it, I just want to reiterate, people who are you think are confident and courageous, are not without fear. They are truly they did a show. It's showtime. Pep talk, something they're shaking in the boot. You're not like behind the podium. They're all doing it, and you can I just, this is a great, great show, Angie, you're the best. Thank you for helping us find our inner glow. Lesley Logan 44:27  You guys. How are you going to use these tips in your life? We want to know. Tag Angie. Tag the Be It Pod.

En août 2025, une guerre-éclair a éclaté entre le Cambodge et la Thaïlande. À l'origine, une vieille histoire, le tracé de la frontière entre les 2 pays n'est pas clair. Il date de la colonisation française. La carte de 1907 est ambiguë. Les arbitrages internationaux sont ignorés et d'accusations en anicroches tout a dégénéré jusqu'au cessez-le-feu de décembre. En 2è partie. Au Chili, nous avons eu accès exceptionnellement à ces fermes aquacoles qui élèvent des saumons de manière industrielle.  Cambodge-Thaïlande: après les combats, vivre dans l'ombre de la guerre  La flambée de violence entre Cambodge et Thaïlande, en 2025, a laissé de profondes cicatrices à la frontière. Maisons détruites, terres devenues dangereuses, habitants encore déplacés, malgré le cessez-le-feu conclu le 27 décembre 2025, la région peine à retrouver une vie normale. Au-delà de l'affrontement militaire, le différend frontalier continue d'alimenter les tensions entre Phnom Penh et Bangkok. Fin février 2026, plus de 60 000 personnes n'avaient toujours pas pu regagner leur logement selon les autorités cambodgiennes, qui accusent par ailleurs l'armée thaïlandaise d'occuper certaines zones frontalières. Un Grand reportage de Jean-Pierre Fages qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Au Chili, cinquante nuances de gris pour « l'or rose »  Certains l'appellent l'or rose… Au Chili, la production de saumons constitue la deuxième industrie exportatrice du pays après le cuivre. À l'échelle mondiale, le Chili se situe juste derrière la Norvège, premier producteur, et vend son saumon principalement aux États-Unis, au Japon et au Brésil. Mais, l'Europe, et notamment la France, fait également partie de ses clients. Une industrie relativement jeune, une quarantaine d'années seulement, mais qui cherche à croître davantage malgré un nombre non négligeable d'accidents du travail et un fort impact sur l'environnement. Un Grand reportage de Naïla Derroisné qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.   

In 1975, the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh fell to a rebel movement known as the Khmer Rouge. These Marxist revolutionaries seized control of the country and unleashed a reign of terror rarely seen in modern history. Over the next four years, the regime, led by dictator Pol Pot, was responsible for the deaths of nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population. Entire communities were destroyed, and the nation's religious and cultural heritage was systematically dismantled.The horrors of the Cambodian killing fields are difficult to confront, but they cannot be ignored. In a 1948 speech to the British House of Commons, Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” So what can we learn from the story of the Cambodian killing fields, and how can we ensure such a tragedy is never repeated?

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick welcomes back Erin West, prosecutor and founder of Operation Shamrock, for an urgent update on the global "scamdemic" of pig butchering. Erin shares firsthand accounts from her recent investigative trip to Cambodia, providing a chilling look at the industrialized nature of transnational organized crime and the massive scale of the scam compounds operating in the region.The conversation explores the recent waves of accountability, including the historic U.S. indictment of Cambodian/Chinese kingpin Chen Ji and the subsequent $15 billion forfeiture—a move that has sent ripples of fear through the industry. Erin details the "Super Bowl effect" she witnessed in Sihanoukville, where compounds appeared shuttered for show while operations continued behind locked metal doors and shuttered windows.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:The GDP of Fraud: How the scam industry now accounts for an estimated 40% to 60% of Cambodia's GDP, making total eradication a complex economic and humanitarian challenge.Industrialized Deception: Why these compounds resemble corporate training rooms—complete with cubbies for personal phones and strict "fine" schedules for victims—proving this is a highly systemized global industry.The Liability Lever: A look at how platforms like Meta successfully block scam ads in Australia where they face financial liability, while failing to do so in regions where "teeth" in the law are missing.Building the Coalition: How Erin's crypto-coalition has grown to 2,400 members, bridging the gap between local law enforcement and federal agencies to ensure victims are no longer turned away.Additionally, Erin dives into the heartbreaking reality of the "generation's worth of wealth" being stolen from Western countries to fund "mint-colored Rolls Royces" and garish displays of luxury in Phnom Penh. We conclude with a call to action for fraud professionals to "Train the Trainer," using Operation Shamrock's resources to educate their own communities and break the echo chamber.

The Killing Fields (1984), directed by Roland Joffe, depicts the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia and the genocide that followed, which resulted in the death of approximately 2-3 million people. The film is based on the experiences of New York Times journalist Sydney Schanberg (Sam Waterson) and Cambodian journalist Dith Pran (Haing S. Ngor). It provides a haunting depiction of mass violence as well as a moving story about these two colleagues and friends. In the wake of the 50th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia, it is worth revisiting a film that is as powerful and relevant today as when it was released.Timestamps:0:00      Introduction2:16       The Khmer Rouge and Year Zero6:04      The U.S. contribution to the Cambodian genocide8:14        The role of journalists in Cambodia and conflict zones17:34      The treatment of journalists under international law18:46     The killing fields and the film's impact24:08    Sydney Schanberg and Dith Pran, and journalistic ethics34:10     The ECCC and transitional justice in Cambodia42:44     Journalists and international criminal proceedings47:50     Haing Ngor and his tragic fate53:26     Civil society endeavors to bring history to life55:21      The fall of Phnom Penh 59:03    The failed attempt to get Dith Pran out1:00:15  The risks facing journalists today Further reading:  Becker, Elizabeth, When the War Was Over: Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge Revolution (1988)Brown, Mark, “Genocide Films, Public Criminology, Collective Memory,” 53 (6) The British Journal of Criminology (2013)   Chandler, David P., The Pol Pot Regime (1991)Kiernan, Ben, Genocide in Cambodia (Revised ed. 2008) Ngor, Haing (with Warner, Roger), Survival in the Killing Fields (1987)Nunn, Nora, "Rose-Colored Genocide: Hollywood, Harmonizing Narratives, and the Cinematic Legacy,” 14(2) Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal 65 (2020)Schanberg, Sydney H., The Death and Life of Dith Pran (1985)Shawcross, William, Sideshow (1979) Law on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

Maurizio Serra"In visita"Neri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itOgni anno a primavera, in un angolo poco conosciuto della costiera amalfitana, la vita quieta e lievemente inutile di un giovane uomo con molto tempo e denaro a disposizione si intreccia con quella di un esule dal passato fosco e pieno di dolori, narratore ineguagliabile dal portamento altero e lo sguardo malinconico. Fino al giorno in cui verità e racconto saranno difficili da conciliare. In una Milano che d'estate sa essere ancora più crudele, un architetto di successo insidiato dal declino si fa schiacciare da quell'afa molle e odorosa pur di non pensare all'invito di un amico a raggiungerlo in Cambogia. A Phnom Penh, città che gli ha stregato il cuore, dove c'è anche la donna per la quale avrebbe rinunciato a ogni cosa costruita. C'è un'ora, nelle notti di Roma, in cui mormorano solo le fontane. Sono anni che il governatore in esilio le ascolta, lui che a quella città straniera ed estranea si è quasi abituato, lui che nel corso degli ultimi mesi ha rinunciato a molto, tranne ai libri che si accumulano in ogni angolo della casa, pronti a sconfiggere la solitudine. Un incontro all'apparenza irrilevante scompaginerà i suoi giorni spogli. Dalla penna di Maurizio Serra, intellettuale, diplomatico del nostro tempo, saggista vincitore del Premio Arbasino, unico Immortel italiano nella storia dell'Académie française, tre racconti che esplorano erratici i temi della memoria, dell'amore irrisolto e dell'identità mettendo in scena personaggi ai margini della vita, che osservano il mondo con il disincanto, l'ironia e il distacco dell'ospite in visita e riescono, forse, a comprenderlo davvero.Maurizio Serra, ambasciatore italiano e Accademico di Francia, è autore di numerosi saggi di successo premiati e tradotti in molte lingue. Per Neri Pozza ha pubblicato L'Imaginifico. Vita di Gabriele D'Annunzio (2019), Il caso Mussolini (2021, BEAT 2025) e Scacco alla pace. Monaco 1938 (2024). Nel 2025 è stato insignito del Premio L'Officina del Vittoriale e del Premio Alberto Arbasino.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Le sable est la deuxième ressource naturelle la plus exploitée dans le monde après l'eau. Son extraction a triplé au cours des 20 dernières années. Le premier exportateur de sable dans le monde, ce sont les États-Unis, puis arrivent les Pays-Bas. En troisième position, le Cambodge, dont le sable a participé, notamment, à l'extension de la cité-État Singapour et qui aujourd'hui contribue au développement urbain de Phnom Penh. Avec Sur la piste minérale, publié aux éditions MétisPresses, Dolorès Bertrais nous propose une enquête captivante sur les traces d'un grain de sable issu du Mékong. Une extraction lucrative qui engendre des jeux de pouvoir et sous-tend les transformations urbaines de la capitale cambodgienne. Dolorès Bertrais, paysagiste-urbaniste et post-doctorante à l'Université de Genève, est spécialiste des dynamiques urbaines.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Matthew Wheeler, Crisis Group's Senior Analyst for Southeast Asia, about the renewed clashes along the Thailand-Cambodia border. They explore the origins of the long-running dispute and the triggers for the latest round of fighting, which has shattered a ceasefire reached in Malaysia in late July and displaced more than half a million people. They examine calculations in Bangkok and Phnom Penh, the rising nationalist sentiment in Thailand, and the fallout from a leaked phone call between then-Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Cambodia's de facto leader Hun Sen in June. They also assess diplomacy to end the fighting, Malaysia's mediation, and President Donald Trump's role in brokering the July truce. As fighting continues despite Trump's claim to have forged another ceasefire, they discuss why a quick de-escalation looks less likely this time around.For more, check out Matthew's analyst's notebook, “Ceasefire Collapses as Heavy Fighting Erupts along Cambodia-Thailand Border”, as well as our Cambodia and Thailand pages.

This follows a debate over a school's alumni reaction to an ST report on a major scam operation. Synopsis: Join Natasha Ann Zachariah at The Usual Place every Thursday as she unpacks the latest current affairs with guests. It was a crime report meant to highlight the suspects behind a major scam operation, but a nugget of information sparked an uproar over a school’s image. Last week, The Straits Times reported that two brothers and their cousin were the alleged masterminds running the operation from Phnom Penh. The group ran a government official impersonation scam that was allegedly responsible for 438 scam cases involving losses of at least $41 million. The 27 Singaporeans suspected of being members of the organised criminal group are now wanted by the Singapore police. But that was not what readers were talking about online. What drew attention was a detail in the Oct 30 report that one of the wanted men, Finan Siow, was said to be a former Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) student who once played for the school’s rugby team. That information – featured in both the article and an infographic – didn’t sit well with the Anglo-Chinese School Old Boys’ Association, which said the school had been singled out.

There have been some incredible developments these last two months in the fight against forced scamming. For the first time, the world's most powerful governments are beginning to treat this crisis not as a distant crime, but as a global human rights emergency — one that can be fought with the same tools once used against war criminals and oligarchs. At the centre of that strategy is a man named Bill Browder.From Washington to Phnom Penh, this episode follows how the same weapon Browder helped create is being turned on the crime bosses and corrupt officials profiting from human trafficking and forced scamming in Cambodia.

Nhà nghiên cứu Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến vừa cho ra mắt cuốn sách mới về lịch sử Sài Gòn, thành phố mà sự hình thành và phát triển vẫn gắn liền với con sông Sài Gòn và cả một hệ thống kênh rạch. Cuốn sách tựa đề Sài Gòn Kinh Đô Sông Nước đưa độc giả trở về cội nguồn của Sài Gòn, từ lâu đã là nơi buôn bán phồn thịnh nhờ thế mạnh sông nước, từng là thủ đô Liên Bang Đông Dương, rồi Quốc Gia Việt Nam, từng được mệnh danh là Hòn Ngọc Viễn Đông. Ngoài cuốn sách Sài Gòn Kinh Đô Sông Nước, Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến còn là tác giả của những cuốn sách khác về Sài Gòn và Đông Dương xưa, như Sài Gòn không phải ngày hôm qua ( 2016 ), Sài Gòn hai đầu thế kỷ ( 2017 ), Kiến trúc Pháp-Đông Dương, những viên ngọc quý tại Hà Nội ( 2021 ), Du lịch Đông Dương xưa ( 2224 ), Kiến trúc Pháp Đông Dương, dấu tích Sài Gòn Hòn Ngọc Viễn Đông ( 2025 ). Sách Sài Gòn Kinh Đô Sông Nước, do Nhà xuất bản Trẻ, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, ấn hành, bao gồm 3 chương và phần phụ lục, với hơn 312 trang. Phần mở đầu trích dẫn các nhận xét của người xưa trong và ngoài nước từ về vẻ đẹp cảng thị và phố thị của Sài Gòn. Sách giới thiệu nhiều hình ảnh, bản đồ tư liệu sưu tầm công phu từ nhiều nguồn, trong đó có  hình ảnh do tác giả chụp ở nhiều năm tháng khác nhau. Tác giả là người sinh trưởng tại Sài Gòn, thuở nhỏ đã thấy thành phố nguy nga lớn mạnh bên sông biển, kinh rạch. Lớn lên được học Sử và làm báo, tác giả có thêm cơ hội học hỏi các thời kỳ phát triển của thành phố, đồng thời khám phá các chốn phố phường, chợ búa, bến tàu, học đường và nhiều công trình di sản. Theo nhà nghiên cứu Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến, "dòng sông Sài Gòn không phải là dòng sông khuất nẻo mà là dòng sông vươn ra biển lớn, dòng sông sinh thành cảng thị và phố thị đông vui, thu hút tinh hoa xa gần". Công sức lớn lao của người Việt từ thế kỷ 17 đến nay đã làm nên Sài Gòn, một kinh đô lịch lãm và kiều diễm. Thông qua nhiều chi tiết cụ thể, cuốn sách Sài Gòn Kinh Đô Sông Nước điểm lại quá trình hình thành các thế mạnh của Sài Gòn từ sông biển, địa linh, nhân kiệt, đến kinh tế, dịch vụ, công nghiệp, đào tạo. Đặc biệt với sự mở rộng của thành phố, tác giả chú trọng giới thiệu các tiềm năng về kinh tế biển và kinh tế di sản. Thế nhưng, giống như nhiều đô thị lớn đang trong cơn sốt bùng nổ dân cư và kinh tế, thành phố này cũng đang đối mặt với biến đổi khí hậu, ô nhiễm, lũ lụt, đòi hỏi nhà nước phải có những giải pháp cấp bách cũng như dài hạn. Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ nhân dịp sang Paris để giới thiệu sách của ông, nhà nghiên cứu Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến trước hết cho biết, từ trước khi được người Pháp xây dựng thành một thành phố hiện đại, Sài Gòn đã là một chốn phồn hoa đô hội: “Sài Gòn Kinh Đô có nghĩa là Sài Gòn trong lịch sử đã từng là thủ đô, là thủ phủ, là trung tâm không chỉ của Nam Bộ, mà là của cả nước. Kinh Đô Sông Nước có nghĩa là một đại cảng thị, một đại phố thị lớn mạnh bên dòng sông Sài Gòn và đặc biệt vị trí của Sài Gòn là rất gần biển và nối kết với khu vực miền Đông Nam Bộ, cũng như miền Tây Nam Bộ, nối kết với miền Nam Đông Dương, rồi ra biển để đi đến với thế giới. Thật sự là từ thế kỷ 17, với công sức của người Việt Nam khai phá các miền đất mới, vai trò của Sài Gòn như là một trung tâm kinh tế, giao thương, phồn hoa đô thị rất là lớn. Trước khi người Pháp đến, Sài Gòn đã được hình thành như một trung tâm lớn và đặc biệt là từ 1788 - 1790, Sài Gòn đã được Chúa Nguyễn Ánh, sau này là Vua Gia Long, đặt tên là Gia Định Kinh, có nghĩa là Kinh Đô Gia Định. Ngay vào thời điểm đó thì một số chuyên gia Pháp đã giúp Nguyễn Ánh - Gia Long thiết kế Sài Gòn như là một thành phố kết hợp yếu tố phương Đông với yếu tố phương Tây, đặc biệt là coi trọng vị trí cảng thị của Sài Gòn. Khi vào xâm chiếm Việt Nam, người Pháp đã hiện đại hóa Sài Gòn kế thừa những sự phát triển sẵn có của Gia Định Kinh và người Pháp tổ chức những quy hoạch xây dựng rất là bài bản, rất là chuyên nghiệp, để thành phố này không những là một trung tâm về giao thương,  mà đặc biệt còn là một trung tâm về giao thông và dịch vụ.”  Vậy thì từ bao giờ thành phố Sài Gòn bắt đầu được mệnh danh là Hòn Ngọc Viễn Đông, nhà nghiên cứu Phúc Tiến giải thích: “Theo chúng tôi tìm hiểu, lúc đó người Pháp coi như là chỉ mới quản trị chủ yếu là phần Nam Bộ, Nam Kỳ, sau này họ mới phát triển ra toàn miền Bắc, rồi cả Đông Dương. Nhưng  lúc đó họ đã đặt kế hoạch phát triển kinh tế, trong đó vấn đề giao thông có một mũi nhọn trên thế giới lúc đó cũng bắt đầu phát triển lớn mạnh đó là đường sắt. Vào năm 1881, thị trưởng Pháp của Sài Gòn Jules Blancsubé khi trả lời báo chí đã nói rằng người Pháp muốn phát triển hệ thống đường sắt xuyên Đông Dương từ Sài Gòn ra đến miền Bắc và đi đến đến Nam Trung Hoa, rồi có thể mở ra phía Lào, phía Cam Bốt, rồi các nước Đông Nam Á lục địa. Nếu hệ thống đường sắt này mà được hình thành thành công, thì Sài Gòn, với cảng Sài Gòn, sẽ có thêm vị trí quan trọng, có nghĩa là hàng hóa của nguyên khu vực Nam Trung Quốc và khu khu vực Đông Nam Á sẽ đổ về cảng Sài Gòn để mà xuất khẩu đi các nước. Ngược lại thì những hàng hóa từ các nước cũng từ Sài Gòn theo đường sắt, đường bộ, đường sông để mà ra với các nước trong khu vực. Và do vậy, ông nói, lúc đó Sài Gòn sẽ trở thành một Hòn Ngọc Viễn Đông. Tôi cho rằng là lời tiên đoán đó vào năm 1881 thực sự đã thể hiện một chiến lược quy hoạch kinh tế lớn lao và người Pháp lúc đó đã nhìn thấy được thế mạnh sông nước của Sài Gòn. Sau này, sang đầu thế kỷ 20, chúng ta thấy không chỉ có đường sắt, mà đường hàng không cũng phát triển và bây giờ nhìn toàn cục thì chúng ta có thể thấy là chữ Sài Gòn Hòn Ngọc Viễn Đông đã được mở rộng từ vấn đề kinh tế sang vấn đề kiến trúc, văn hóa, giáo dục, con người. Bây giờ thì từ Sài Gòn Hòn Ngọc Viễn Đông sang thế kỷ 20, sang thời kỳ trước 75, đã trở thành một tên gọi thân yêu để cho thấy một thành phố không những đẹp về mặt mỹ quan, đẹp về sự duyên dáng, yếu tố Đông Tây kết hợp, mà còn đẹp vì thế mạnh của nó, về kinh tế, đẹp về tinh thần cởi mở hội nhập quốc tế.  Từ thời còn là Kinh Đô Gia Định ( 1789-1802 ), Thủ đô Liên bang Đông Dương ( 1887-1902 ), cho đến Thủ đô Quốc gia Việt Nam ( 1949-1955 ) và thủ đô Việt Nam Cộng Hòa ( 1955-1975 ), Sài Gòn luôn luôn là “đầu máy hùng mạnh” về nhiều mặt của cả nước, không chỉ về kinh tế, mà còn tiên phong cả về văn hóa - xã hội trong nhiều thời kỳ, theo ghi nhận của tác giả Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến. Đó chính là nhờ thế mạnh về sông nước của thành phố này:  “Ngược dòng lịch sử thì chúng ta biết sông Đồng Nai là một hệ thống sông rất lớn, song song với hệ thống sông Tiền và sông Hậu, tức là hệ thống sông Mekong. Hai hệ thống sông này lại có một cầu nối là Sài Gòn. Hay nói cách khác là giữa Đông Nam Bộ và Tây Nam Bộ thì Sài Gòn lúc nào cũng nằm ở trung điểm và Sài Gòn lại được xây dựng bên dòng sông Sài Gòn, một chi lưu của hệ thống sông Đồng Nai. Có thể có gần 200 km bắt đầu từ Tây Ninh rồi đi qua Bình Dương, đi qua Đồng Nai rồi xuống Sài Gòn để thoát ra được cửa biển. Trước ngày 1 tháng 7 năm 2025,  đoạn sông đó đi qua diện tích lãnh thổ của Sài Gòn - Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh hơn 80 cây số. Và điều rất quan trọng là nó đi ra cửa biển Cần Giờ. Cửa biển Cần Giờ là khoảng hơn 20 cây số bờ biển. Nhưng sau ngày 1 tháng 7 năm 2025, với sự hợp nhất Sài Gòn với Bình Dương và Vũng Tàu - Bà Rịa, thế mạnh sông biển của Sài Gòn gia tăng rất lớn. Chỉ tính riêng về bờ biển thì bây giờ Sài Gòn có gần 400 km bờ biển và đặc biệt là có Côn Đảo bây giờ thuộc về siêu đô thị này. Và thêm nữa là hơn 100.000 km2 thềm lục địa, mà chúng ta biết là về thềm lục địa Biển Đông, trong ngành dầu khí họ nói là có hai vùng trũng là vùng Nam Côn Sơn và vùng Mekong, thì Sài Gòn nằm rất gần khu vực gọi là Nam Côn Sơn. Thế thì riêng về mặt kinh tế biển, thành phố đã phát triển. Đương nhiên người Pháp khi đến Việt Nam năm 1858, với tầm nhìn của một đế chế công nghiệp, họ nhận ra tài nguyên của Sài Gòn không phải là hàng hóa, mà là vị trí thuận lợi để giao thương kết nối được nhiều miền. Đặc biệt họ đưa ra tầm nhìn là Sài Gòn thuộc về khu vực Nam Đông Dương, nói cách khác chính là Đông Nam Á. Tôi còn nhớ là trong nhật ký của một sĩ quan Pháp tham gia trận đánh vào Sài Gòn năm 1859, ông này có ghi rằng vị trí Sài Gòn không khác gì Batavia, nay là Jakarta của Indonesia, như là Singapore hay là Hồng Kông và nó có những điểm độc đáo riêng. Chính vì vậy, theo nhà nghiên cứu Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến, một trong những mũi nhọn kinh tế mà người Pháp xây dựng ở Sài Gòn không phải là công nghiệp nặng, công nghiệp sản xuất hàng hóa, mà điều rất quan trọng là dịch vụ. Trong quyển sách, tác giả kể ra đến 6 ngành, gọi là 6 “cổ máy không khói” của Sài Gòn từ thời Pháp:  Thứ nhất là hàng hải, bao gồm sửa chữa tàu biển và hải cảng.  Thế mạnh thứ hai là giao thương, tổ chức thương mại, chế biến nông sản để xuất ra nước ngoài.  Thứ ba là một trung tâm tài chính, vì đương nhiên là xuất khẩu thì phải cần có sự trợ giúp của ngân hàng, bảo lãnh tín dụng, vân vân…Ngay từ cuối thế kỷ 19, Sài Gòn đã là một trung tâm tài chính, với khá nhiều ngân hàng quốc tế cũng như các hãng bảo hiểm đóng tại Sài Gòn và hình thành một khu phố tài chính.  Thế mạnh thứ tư là về viễn thông. Ngay trung tâm thành phố, ngay bên cạnh nhà thờ Đức Bà, có nhà bưu điện rất lớn, rất đẹp và đã được coi là kiến trúc nhà bưu điện đẹp thứ hai trên thế giới. Thế mạnh viễn thông của Sài Gòn thì phải nói rất là sớm. Năm 1865, 1870, người Pháp đã bắt đầu thiết lập đường điện tín cáp quang để liên thông giữa Sài Gòn với Paris, nối cáp dưới dưới biển đi qua Singapore và sau đó làm đường ngược lên Hồng Kông để liên thông với cả khu vực châu Mỹ. Kế đến là hệ thống giao thông vận tải, Sài Gòn có đủ phương tiện, từ đường bộ, đường sắt, rồi đường biển, đường thủy. Cái độc đáo của Sài Gòn lúc đó là người Pháp đã tổ chức những đội tàu, không những đi dọc theo bờ biển để đi ra Hải Phòng, đi ra phía Bắc, mà còn  làm hệ thống tàu thuyền để chở khách đi khắp đồng bằng sông Cửu Long, rồi đi lên được cả Phnom Penh, thậm chí là đến được cả Bangkok. Ngay cả bây giờ, đường thủy lên Phnom Penh và đường thủy lên Bangkok, chúng ta vẫn chưa thực hiện lại được đầy đủ. Đặc biệt là khi ngành hàng không thế giới ra đời và được đẩy mạnh sau chiến tranh thế giới thứ nhất, sân bay Tân Sơn Nhất đã được xây dựng từ năm 1914. Lúc đó người Pháp đã gom ba làng là Tân Sơn Nhất, Tân Sơn Nhì và Tân Sơn Tam để làm sân bay rất lớn, phục vụ cho đến thế kỷ 21.  Một thế mạnh nữa của Sài Gòn: Đây là trung tâm về khoa học, đào tạo, với những trường dạy nghề đầu tiên cũng như Viện Pasteur. Nơi mà chúng ta hay gọi là Sở thú còn có tên là Sở bông, vì còn là nơi ươm trồng những giống cây mới. Kể cả cây cao su ở Việt Nam cũng chính là đã được trồng thử nghiệm ở Sài Gòn.  Sài Gòn dù không phải là một cảng biển, chỉ là cảng sông, nhưng dòng sông thì sâu. Tại vị trí ở quận 1 đối diện với Thủ Thiêm, độ sâu nhất là khoảng 40 m và khoảng cách giữa hai bờ Thủ Thiêm và bến Bạch Đằng, ở khu vực Nhà Rồng là khoảng 300 m, nên tàu bè đi vào rất là thuận tiện, có tới hai ngã đường sông từ Cần Giờ vào. Tàu thuyền các nước trên đường đi từ Singapore qua hoặc là đi từ Hồng Kông xuống thì ghé lại Sài Gòn để lấy hàng, đồng thời lấy nước ngọt, lấy thêm nhân lực. Chính những điều đó đã giúp cho Sài Gòn phát triển và những thế mạnh này lại tiếp tục xuyên suốt thế kỷ 20 và bây giờ bắt đầu phải được đẩy mạnh hơn trong thế kỷ 21.” Thế nhưng, cũng chính do có vị trí gắn liền với sông và biển, cùng với quá đô thị hóa quá nhanh mà lại thiếu quy hoạch chặt chẽ, bây giờ thêm tác động của biến đổi khí hậu, Sài Gòn - Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh nay lại phải đối đầu với tình trạng ngập lụt thường xuyên. Chính quyền của thành phố đang đối phó ra sao, nhà nghiên cứu Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến cho biết: “Tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh hiện giờ nhà nước cũng đã có một số cố gắng giải quyết các vấn nạn môi trường và liên quan đến sông nước. Tôi có thể kể ra một thành công trong vòng 50 năm nay là đã thiết kế, cải tạo lại hai hệ thống kênh lớn, thứ nhất là hệ thống Kênh Nhiêu Lộc Thị Nghè, có sự trợ giúp của Ngân hàng Thế giới. Thứ hai là hệ thống Kênh Tàu Hủ Bến Nghé. Đồng thời  hiện giờ một số con kênh ở khu vực trước đây gọi là Tân Bình, Tân Phú, hoặc những nơi xa hơn, hoặc là ở quận 6, ngay khu vực chợ Bình Tây có những con kênh trước đây bị lấp nay đã được khơi lại. Trong vài năm trở lại đây đã bắt đầu có những công trình thiết lập các cống để xả nước kịp thời khi có triều cường. Tuy nhiên phải nói rằng các nhà khoa học của thế giới cũng đã báo động cho Việt Nam không chỉ về Sài Gòn - Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, mà toàn bộ vùng đồng bằng sông Cửu Long. Việt Nam là một nước sẽ phải hứng chịu những tác động rất lớn của biến đổi khí hậu. Khu vực đã được báo động sẽ bị ảnh hưởng rất là nặng nề là Cần Giờ, Nhà Bè, Phú Mỹ Hưng, là nơi mà tiếp giáp với biển. Tôi thấy có điểm tích cực là các nhà khoa học từ các viện nghiên cứu, với các trường đại học ,cũng đã bắt đầu đẩy mạnh nghiên cứu, lên tiếng yêu cầu chính quyền có những giải pháp tốt hơn. Ngoài ra còn có một dự án là Kênh Xuyên Tâm, băng ngang từ phía Tây Nam lên phía Đông Bắc xuyên qua thành phố. Nếu nhìn trong toàn cảnh thì chúng ta chưa làm được nhiều và cần có sự hỗ trợ. Cũng đã có nhiều cuộc hội thảo mà nước ngoài tham gia, với mong muốn là thúc đẩy ( các dự án ). Đương nhiên là những chương trình đó cần một kinh phí lớn, nhưng điều quan trọng là dư luận xã hội cũng đã rất quan tâm. Báo chí cũng đã lên tiếng và trong chương trình hành động của chính quyền thành phố mà bây giờ được mở rộng ra, bao gồm cả Bình Dương và Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu, có những dấu hiệu cho thấy phải xúc tiến càng nhanh càng tốt.” Về sự hỗ trợ của nước ngoài, nhà nghiên cứu Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến cho rằng có những kinh nghiệm của nước Pháp về môi trường, về trị thủy có thể áp dụng được cho Sài Gòn. Ông hy vọng nước Pháp có thể hỗ trợ nhiều hơn cho Việt Nam và kêu gọi sự tham gia của các nhà khoa học Pháp cũng như nhà khoa học người Việt sống tại Pháp.

September is historically a slow month for travel news in South East Asia. With the October Golden Week imminent, followed by the peak November-February tourism season, it's usually a period to reflect and prepare. Not this year. Political upheaval and economic instability in ASEAN's two largest economies, Indonesia and Thailand, are front-page news. Events in both nations have the potential to influence the end-of-year travel season, not least in Thailand where an enforced national election is likely. Meantime, Gary and Hannah assess Malaysia's latest positioning statement for its biggest ever 12-month national tourism campaign in 2026. Phnom Penh inaugurates Cambodia's much hyped new Techo Airport. And Vietnam's buoyant tourism economy enjoys a further boost during National Day. Plus, why are consumer trade shows an even bigger deal than normal in 2025 in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines? All this and more in our weekly travel and tourism news roundup.     

Il y a cinquante ans, la chute de Phnom Penh, capitale du Cambodge aux mains des Khmers rouges, marquait le début d'un génocide qui a fait jusqu'à deux millions de morts. Parmi les 600 000 Cambodgiens qui ont fui l'horreur, plusieurs dizaines de milliers d'entre eux ont trouvé refuge en France. Que reste-t-il aujourd'hui de leur mémoire et de celle de leurs enfants ?

De 1975 à 1979, les Khmers rouges ont exterminé deux millions de femmes, d'hommes et d'enfants. Mais 50 ans après, qui s'en souvient ? (Rediffusion) Prétextant un futur bombardement américain, les Khmers rouges ordonnent d'évacuer Phnom Penh lorsqu'ils entrent dans la capitale du Cambodge le 17 Avril 1975. En réalité, la ville est vidée, et sa population déportée vers les campagnes devenues camps de travail et de rééducation. C'est le début du génocide cambodgien dans le nouveau Kampuchéa Démocratique où les mots de la langue khmère sont revus et corrigés. Kamtech ne signifie plus seulement tuer, mais détruire ou réduire en poussière sans laisser de trace. Alors comment faire pour se souvenir du passé et apaiser les morts ? Avec le témoignage du cinéaste Rithy Panh dont les films sont projetés dans le cycle « Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » au Forum des images à Paris. « Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » : la bande annonce. Et la participation de : - Soko Phay, professeure en Histoire et théorie de l'art à l'Université Paris 8, dont le livre, Cambodge, l'art devant l'extrême est à paraître aux éditions Naïma. Co-organisatrice, avec Pierre Bayard, du programme « Qui se souvient du génocide cambodgien ? » au Forum des images. Au Cambodge, environ deux millions de personnes – soit près du quart de la population – ont péri entre 1975 et 1979, à la suite de déportations, de meurtres de masse et de famines. Face au génocide perpétré par les Khmers rouges, l'art est un défi que les artistes doivent surmonter. Rithy Panh, Vann Nath, Séra, Svay Sareth ou encore, dans la seconde génération, Davy Chou, Vandy Rattana, Guillaume Suon, Jenny Teng n'ont eu de cesse de faire œuvre de mémoire, pour s'élever contre le déni et l'effacement des morts sans sépulture. Cinquante ans après le début des massacres dans son pays, Soko Phay revisite les relations entre le témoignage et la fiction et montre comment les œuvres mémorielles donnent à penser les séquelles profondes au sein de la société cambodgienne. La création, par ses ressources symboliques, permet de dévoiler ce qui a été dérobé au regard, tout en assurant le travail de transmission des événements non-inscrits dans l'histoire officielle. - Jean-Baptiste Phou, écrivain, metteur en scène, auteur du livre « 80 mots du Cambodge », à L'asiathèque. 80 mots qui sont autant d'histoires qui racontent le Cambodge et qui, en plus des racines des mots et de leur résonance dans le coeur des femmes et des hommes qui les utilisent, évoquent le lien particulier qu'entretient l'auteur avec le Cambodge, ses habitants et leur langue. La famille de Jean-Baptiste Phou est d'origine chinoise de l'ethnie Teochew, et a émigré au Cambodge. Les attaches chinoises de la mère restent fortes et Jean-Baptiste, qui a choisi de pratiquer la danse khmère et de s'installer au Cambodge, s'attache à approfondir les traditions du pays auquel il a décidé d'appartenir et en même temps nous fait part des difficultés qu'il rencontre pour comprendre le mode de vie et les réactions des gens et pour s'acclimater et s'insérer. Les mots sont souvent choisis en référence à son histoire personnelle. - Anne-Laure Porée, journaliste, anthropologue, pour son livre « La langue de l'Angkar, leçons khmères rouges d'anéantissement », aux éditions La Découverte. Comment bien torturer pour réussir un interrogatoire en bon révolutionnaire ? Comment présenter un dossier d'aveux qui satisfasse les dirigeants ? Voilà ce qu'enseigne Duch, le chef khmer rouge du centre de mise à mort S-21, aux interrogateurs qu'il forme de 1975 à 1978 à Phnom Penh. Ses leçons, qui dictent comment penser et agir au service du Parti communiste du Kampuchéa, ont été consignées avec soin dans un cahier noir à petits carreaux d'une cinquantaine de pages. Anne-Laure Porée décrypte ce document capital, plongeant le lecteur dans le quotidien des génocidaires cambodgiens. Elle identifie trois mots d'ordre au service de l'anéantissement : cultiver – la volonté révolutionnaire, l'esprit guerrier et la chasse aux « ennemis » –, trier – les « ennemis » à travers diverses méthodes, de la rédaction d'une biographie sommaire à la torture physique, en passant par la réécriture de l'histoire – et purifier – les révolutionnaires comme le corps social. Ces notions reflètent la politique meurtrière orchestrée par le régime de Pol Pot, au pouvoir à partir du 17 avril 1975, qui, en moins de quatre ans, a conduit un quart de la population cambodgienne à la mort. En prenant les Khmers rouges au(x) mot(s), La Langue de l'Angkar rend plus sensibles la logique organisatrice et les singularités d'un régime longtemps resté en marge des études sur les génocides. En partenariat avec RFI et le Forum des images, le numéro hors-série Historia retrace toute l'histoire du Cambodge, des rois bâtisseurs d'Angkor au régime de terreur de Pol Pot, en passant par le protectorat français et la déclaration d'indépendance.

Précédés de mois de tensions, les cinq jours de conflits armés entre la Thaïlande et le Cambodge fin juillet 2025 ont déplacé des centaines de milliers de personnes dans les provinces frontalières où se sont concentrés les affrontements. Selon les autorités cambodgiennes, au moins 700 000 travailleurs émigrés en Thaïlande seraient revenus au Cambodge depuis le début de la crise. Alors que les relations entre les deux pays sont au plus bas malgré le cessez-le-feu, les perspectives d'emplois semblent très incertaines pour ces travailleurs peu qualifiés, précaires et revenus à la hâte. De notre correspondante à Phnom Penh,  Sur un chantier de la capitale Phnom Penh, Lors et Sanan s'estiment chanceux d'avoir pu retrouver un emploi. Fin juillet, ce couple d'ouvriers du bâtiment travaillait encore à Bangkok. Quand le conflit armé éclate entre la Thaïlande et le Cambodge, ils se sentent menacés. « D'autres travailleurs migrants nous ont prévenu qu'une bande d'une dizaine de Thaïlandais avaient cherché à les intimider. Et puis, ils sont venus nous trouver et ont demandé : " Eh toi ! Tu viens d'où ? "J'ai eu peur de me faire frapper si je leur disais que j'étais Cambodgien. Alors, j'ai répondu que je venais d'une province thaïlandaise et ça s'est arrêté là. » Au même moment, le couple est prévenu que leur famille restée au Cambodge doit évacuer le village en raison des affrontements : « Nous avions déjà peur ici. Et ma mère nous appelait tous les jours avec les enfants. Nous avons redouté que ce gang (thaïlandais) nous retrouve et nous cherche plus d'histoires. Alors, nous avons demandé notre salaire et nous sommes rentrés fin juillet. »  Comme Lors et Sanan, au moins 700 000 travailleurs émigrés sont rentrés au Cambodge en raison du conflit. Jusqu'à présent, ils étaient près de 1,2 million Cambodgiens à travailler en Thaïlande, dont seulement une moitié en situation régulière.

Regardez ! » Khun Tharo est responsable de programme à Central, une ONG cambodgienne de défense des droits des travailleurs.  Sur son ordinateur défilent les vidéos envoyées par leurs équipes déployées sur un poste frontalier : « Regardez ce qu'ils transportent : des matelas, des couvertures, leurs bébés sur leurs épaules, etc. On comprend qu'ils ne vont pas revenir avant un long moment. » La panique a poussé ces travailleurs à quitter leur emploi, quitte à se priver de tous revenus une fois au Cambodge : « Ils ont dû choisir entre leur sécurité et leurs revenus, explique  Khun Tharo. S'ils n'avaient pas été confrontés à cette situation, ils seraient restés en Thaïlande où ils avaient un salaire régulier. Quand ils reviennent ici, ils ne savent pas s'ils pourront retrouver un travail ou combien de temps cela prendra. Ils s'inquiètent de savoir comment ils pourront subvenir aux besoins de leur famille ou rembourser leur emprunt. Le problème, c'est que je doute qu'il y ait assez d'emplois disponibles pour la masse de travailleurs qui sont revenus. » Malgré un cessez-le-feu le 29 juillet, ils sont encore nombreux à dire ne pas vouloir retourner en Thaïlande. Mais, même si les autorités cambodgiennes se mobilisent, le marché du travail risque de ne pas pouvoir absorber ces quelque  700 000 travailleurs supplémentaires issus de milieux précaires. Or, côté thaïlandais, les secteurs de la construction, du service, de la pêche, de l'agriculture ou encore de l'industrie alimentaire, des secteurs qui employaient cette main d'œuvre cambodgienne peu qualifiée, se confrontent à l'urgence de la remplacer.

There's a surge in cases and deaths from H5N1 bird flu in Cambodia - we hear what's the driver and how concerned we should be.

Angkor Thom is one of the few carveouts in the UNESCO portfolio, or, as it were, that they don't have to do that because the trees are 400 years old, 500 years old. They've grown on top of the temple there. And basically, if they were to take the trees off, the temple would fall apart.Lesley Logan 0:32  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 1:11  All right. Welcome back Be It babes. This is Brad here. Solo episode today. Hope you like the sound of my voice, because I'm just going to be rambling a little bit about my favorite topic in the entire world, going to Cambodia to spend time with the people there and enjoy some food there and go see the majestic, wonderful temples of Angkor Wat. It is obviously something I'm incredibly passionate about. You've heard me talk about it many, many times in this pod, if you're a listener. If you are brand new, welcome, welcome. We love having you joining us here on the Be It Pod. Cambodia, everybody always asks, hey, why Cambodia? Why? Right? Well, that's definitely my fault. The reality is, my mom bought at a yard sale. She bought, like, 10 years of National Geographic magazines for, I don't know, well, I don't know, I have no idea, I was like 10 years old, or 12 years old or something. Anyway, I opened up the very first one I remember, because I'm sure I looked at a lot, but the one I remember more than any other was opening up this, like, entire spread of Angkor Wat, right? And I didn't even know how to pronounce it at the time. I was a really young kid. But what I can tell you is I was way into dinosaurs, The Jungle Book and Transformers as a child, and when I saw this 10-page spread, or the spread of Angkor Wat in Nat Geo, this was like the Jungle Book in real life to me, and I was so excited about this, the curiosity that it inspired in me literally stayed with me until Lesley asked me, like, I don't know, 20 plus years later, hey, where do we want to go for our honeymoon? And my response instantly was, we're going to Cambodia.Brad Crowell 3:05  You know, and she's like, um, really, we're going to Cambodia. Why would we do that? Can we also go to Thailand? Can we also go to Japan? And I was like, of course, let's do those other things, too. But we have to go to Cambodia. I have to see Angkor Wat. I have to see the temples and the jungle temples. And you know, since then, I've been inspired a number of other times. I'm sure you're all aware that Angelina Jolie's version of Tomb Raider was actually filmed at the temples. It was filmed at Ta Prohm temple. That's, like, a really cool temple. It's actually really close to Angkor Wat. It's like, I don't know, 10 minutes away or 15 minutes away from Angkor, and so we have had a chance to go see that one. We saw the Angkor. We saw a temple called Bayon Temple, which actually they considered the, you know, at the time, because what's so cool about the history of Cambodia was a massive empire, is called the Khmer empire, K-H-M-E-R, Khmer Empire, and it covered all of Vietnam up into Lao, Laos, you know, Lao over into Thailand. It's very influenced by India, very influenced by the Thai, and then obviously, what was considered Cambodia today. So it was this massive, massive place. And Angkor was in the middle, and there's a city there, and the city is like fortified, there's a moat around the whole thing. It's this huge city, and in the very center of that city is Bayon Temple. And so they actually consider Bayon temple the center of the universe. They consider the center tower all the way up at the top to be like this pinnacle place that had a spiritual meaning. And the amount of wonder that Angkor inspires in me keeps me going back. Brad Crowell 4:42  When Lesley and I first went in 2016, we realized when we got home we loved Thailand, we loved Japan, but there was something magical about Cambodia that made us go, how do we go back? How do we go back? And that was the beginning of trying to figure that out. We try to figure out, how do we go? What do we need to do to get back there? Initially, we were like, hey, let's ask all of our friends and they'll come with us. This is gonna be super cool. And they were like, yeah, we're interested. But it never came to fruition, right? It was like, oh, yeah, maybe, we're not sure. Couldn't get anybody to actually commit. Lesley went back to her clients and said, is this ever been on anybody's bucket list going to Angkor? We are thinking about hosting a retreat there. And literally, like a dozen of her clients were like, yes, we're in, absolutely, let's do it. And we figured out a window of time that would work for everyone, and we gave ourselves roughly a year to put it all together, because we didn't know anybody. We had one contact there, and that was our tour guide. And so he was super generous. He was just a really helpful connector. And he helped guide us through figuring out, like, who should we talk to for hosting the retreat? And, you know, just all the things, any kind of question. And it was just lovely to have him. So a big shout out to Stephane De Greef and a big thank you to him. Eventually, when he decided to leave Cambodia and move over to Panama and then wherever he's at now, he contacted me and said, hey, man, I'm leaving, but let me introduce you to everybody that I know. And he did. He opened his Rolodex and just introduced us to all these different people there. And it was incredible. Brad Crowell 6:16  So we had the chance to go back in 2017 for our very first trip with Lesley's clients, and we rented a yoga shala. And the shala was really, really awesome. The people were really lovely. And so we decided to rent it again, and we run another group, and we rented a third time, and the third time, the experience just didn't work. It wasn't what we wanted. And it was actually frustrating, because when Lesley and I turned to ourselves and we were like, hey, maybe we should go get a hotel from our own retreat, we were like, yeah, we can't do this anymore. We got to find a better solution. And that's when we decided to go get our own place, right? And so now we'd been there four times at this point, and we just had a bunch of people that we knew. We reached out to them and said, hey, we're looking for a spot. How do we do this? And they helped connect the dots and help us get going. And basically it turned into this hunt for the right spot, the right place for us to take over and turn into ours. And in 2018 that happened, and it was so exciting. I remember flying back, it was really quick too, like, we got this message from our real estate person. They were like, hey, I think I actually found the right spot. And they gave us all these reasons why, and they really understood our mission and our vision. They really understood what we were trying to do. And they said, we actually like the people that you would be working with to do this, because we're not Cambodian. We can't actually own the land. We're not allowed. We're not a citizen, so we have to have a relationship with people who do own the land there, and they're literally our land lord, and we pay them as if it's like a lease, but we own all the things on it. We own a business there. We have a team there, all that stuff. And so he said, I actually think these people are going to be amazing, and they encourage people coming to visit Cambodia, and they care about it, and they're passionate about it, and so they're right. It was amazing. We met them. They were incredibly gracious and lovely, and we've had, at this point, many, many, many years of building a relationship with them. They're just awesome people, and we absolutely lucked out in that regard. And what we did is we took over this property that has a 12 bedroom apartment complex on it, and allowed us to begin to have our own place to bring you know, people from all around the world to come visit and have a safe, secure, clean, fun place. It's also quiet. We're right off the beaten path. We're like 10 minutes walk from the chaos of Pub Street and wow, like all the loud, but we're far enough away that you don't hear it. We're close enough to walk, but far enough away that it doesn't actually impact you. So it's so awesome. From the place we're like, maybe, oh, I don't know, 15 minutes drive to the Temple of Angkor Wat, which is the largest religious structure in the world. It is still functioning today. They absolutely use it for religious ceremonies and stuff. There's a mix of Hinduism and Buddhism in the way that, it's primarily Buddhist today. You know, you can still find other religions there. There's some Christianity, there's some Muslim faiths there. Primarily it's Buddhist, but the history of the country is a mash up of Hinduism and Buddhism because of war, right? It would be like invaded and then, you know, taken over and taken back and back and forth and all this stuff. And so consequently, there's actually a lot of history that was destroyed by the invading army. They'd come in and break all the statues, and then, you know, the other they build theirs. And then these guys would come back, and it would go back and forth over the centuries that that kind of thing happened. And what's so amazing is all of that is still there. It is available to be seen. It is just the most mind-bending thing when you get there and you're like, this is a thousand years old. This statue that I'm looking at here, they carved this. How did they do this? How did they move the stone? How did they even get this here? Like, how did they think this stuff up? Is it is so mind-blowing to me, because it's exactly in line with the stars and meridian lines and longitude and latitude, the amount of science and thought and understanding of architecture and structural integrity and the building materials and the process of doing it, it is so incredibly thought through and advanced. And then the art itself, the carvings, the planning, how could they have thousands of meters of wall? And it's not a repeat carving anywhere in the entire thing. It's all unique. Every single person in that that's carved into the wall is like, different from the person next to it. You know, it's amazing. It's just incredible. And they spent, I don't know, I think it was a couple decades to build Angkor Wat, like 30 plus years or something. But every time I go, I see something new. Every single time I go, I see something new. Brad Crowell 10:43  And so when we go, what we love to do is take our guests through the temples in a way that you would not normally go if you were to just show up and hire a typical tour guide, tuk guide kind of a thing. You'll see the big three, you know, you'll go to the city of Angkor Thom. You'll actually go to Angkor Wat, of course, which is the temple itself. You'll go to Bayon Temple, usually, and maybe one other place. So whatever one they'll probably take you to the jungle temple Ta Prohm, like I was saying that Angelina Jolie filmed at because that's a really mysterious temple as well, with this epic trees that have grown over top of the temple. In fact, Angkor Thom is really cool because this is a UNESCO heritage site now. And normally, if it's a UNESCO heritage site, they are required to, slowly, over time, rebuild the whatever the structure is to be as if it was the original structure, right? Angkor Thom is one of the few carve-outs in the UNESCO portfolio, as it were, that they don't have to do that, because the trees are 400 years old, 500 years old, they've grown on top of the temple there. And basically, if they were to take the trees off, the temple would fall apart. And so they got this exception to keep the everything as it is right now. And that makes it even more cool. I mean, it's just, it's so amazing. So when everybody arrives on Sunday night, we we just hang out. We do like class, we get some food, we usually go get a massage, and then the next morning, we get up and we have class, and then we have the morning off, because after lunch, we all hop on our tour bus and we go see a series of temples. We go to the south gate at Angkor Thom, we go see a pagoda. A pagoda is like a place of worship for monks today, it's kind of like a church, but it's usually open air, open-walled, right? So it's just like a covered building, generally. Sometimes they're, they've got walls and everything, too. But these pagodas that are inside of Angkor Thom are open-aired. And so we go see this pagoda, and there's like monks actually practicing there. And it's really neat to see the community still lives there, and they still do life there, right? So, and then we go in to Bayon Temple, and we go, from there, we might be able to go up to see Angkor or the elephant terrace, which is this like place where the king today still will go up to Angkor and you know, he will have a big ceremony once a year there. The royal family goes there. And then from there, we'll go to the north gate, and we'll see the different gates that they have. And they're all unique. They're all, you know, the similar concept, but they're all unique. And of course, the vegetation, the trees are different, the views are different, all that. Then we'll go out the east gate, and we'll go over and see Ta Prohm, right? Along the way, we'll stop at another place, Chau Say Tevoda, which is a smaller temple that was like, considered a library. There were twin temples there. So there's one on one side of the road, one on the other, the one is in way better shape than the the other side. So we always go to the one that actually is, like in repair. You know, maybe we walk through the jungle a little bit there. And, you know, there's, like, usually there's monkeys, which are not your friend, but they're usually there, too. We get a chance to go through and peek into the past. That is just mind-blowing. And my favorite part of going to Cambodia, well, one of my favorite parts, to be honest, because I really can't pick, is being able to go explore these temples. And there's just something that is so otherworldly about it, because you don't see this in the United States, right? You don't find this stuff, probably not even up in Canada. You might see something comparable in Europe, but it's different, right? The massive cathedrals in Europe could be like, 1000 years old too, but it's not the same as it being like, overtaken by the jungle and then carved out after they re-, quote-unquote, rediscovered it in the, you know, 1860s basically, a French guy discovered it in the 1860s again and brought it back to light in western civilization. And then the French actually occupied Cambodia for like, 100 years. And it wasn't until 1960s that Cambodia became Cambodia. Before that, it was an occupied territory of from the French, and it got its independence in the 60s. Brad Crowell 14:45  The second thing that is just amazing is the food. In Cambodia, they don't cook with milk or dairy products. There's no cheese. It's not standard. They also are generally light on the sauces, right? It's not like Thai food. Where everything has its own sauce, and it's half sauce and half whatever the dish is. It's different than that. They make a lot of curries, like I mentioned, it is, you know, a lot of influence from India and Thailand. There are a lot of noodle dishes, but there's a lot of rice dishes, and it's generally really clean eating, right? So if it's a rice dish, it's rice with a small side salad and then a little bit of prepared meat. Their quote-unquote sauce might be like salt and pepper mix, right? It's not sloshed with all this stuff. And so it's really great food. And it just, it's clean, easy, it's always farm to table, because they don't really have the big processing system that we do in the United States. So everything just tastes so good. I love it. And what we do, we get to work with, this is super special, when we moved there, there was this organization, it's an NGO, or a non-government organization that was started by somebody in the United States. They went there and they had a passion for Cambodia, and they said, hey, we could help. We could affect change by creating, effectively, a vo-tech school, right? So what they did is they would raise money, and then they would go into the countryside, and they would sponsor these kids who were really poor, who could not afford to educate themselves. And they said, hey, if you want to, we will give you a full ride, a full scholarship to our school. You'll stay on campus. You'll learn how to work in the service industry. So we'll teach you how to be a chef. We'll teach you how to be a pastry chef. We'll teach you how to be a barista or a server or a bartender or a manager or whatever. And so it's all surrounding the service industry. And then after the end of the program, after these kids go through the program, which I don't remember how long, it could be a couple years, because they also have, like, regular classes, and there's a dormitory and all this stuff. When they graduate, they actually will help them get a job placement. So they might move down to the big city in Phnom Penh and they go to a fancy hotel there, or maybe they stay relatively local in Siem Reap or maybe they go abroad, I don't know, but the school helps them get placed for a job. And this organization is called Spoons. Well, it's called Spoons today. I can't remember what it was called prior, because unfortunately, during COVID, all the money dried up and all the support dried up, and it wasn't available for them. And unfortunately, the American support basically said, hey, we got to close the doors. We don't have any way to keep this going. And the locals, the team that they have built, the Cambodians, some of them were graduates themselves, then helping to run the school, said, hey, this is an amazing thing that's really helping people here. We want to keep this going. And so they went locally, and they found a couple of really generous donors to effectively step in on the financial side to help support the school. And they were able to keep the doors open. And Lesley and I were there in like 2020 and things were still operating like normal when we were there in March of 2020 but then we were gone for two years. We weren't back until 2022 so when we finally got back in 2022 we went over there and we were talking to them, and they said, somehow we made it through. It's been crazy, but we were able to keep the doors open. And this year, we are sponsoring 20 students. This is the first time that we've ever operated as a company, as an organization, without any outside support. It's all like done locally. It's now run by and owned by Cambodians. They call themselves the Khmer people, run by khmer, and they were really proud of that, because they were able to keep this institution that had been put into place operating. And then the next year they had like 50 students. And then this past year, we were there, you know, we were just there in February of 2025, now, and they have like 78 students. And we're so pleased to be able to work with them, because we have them deliver our meals during the week. And then on the final day of the trip, we actually all go over to the restaurant, to Spoons, and they serve us. The students are working at the restaurant. So, you know, there's the head chef is a graduate, or the manager is a graduate, and they're making sure the wheels stay on the bus, but the barista, the servers, the bussers, all the food prep, all that stuff, is done by the students themselves. And it gives us so much joy to be able to support that organization. And the food they make is amazing. It's so good. Brad Crowell 19:03  We want to invite you to come join us in Cambodia on a trip and experience these things for yourself and join us so that we can make sure that you really do have an incredible time.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. It's 50 years since soldiers of the communist Khmer Rouge party stormed into the capital, Phnom Penh. It was the start of a four year reign of terror which resulted in up to two million people being killed. We hear two stories from people affected by the regime. Our guest is journalist and author, Elizabeth Becker. She is one of the foremost authorities on the history of Cambodia, and one of the few westerners to have interviewed Pol Pot.The scientist who invented the white LED lightbulb in 1993 tells his story.Plus, the Bali Nine: young Australians facing the death penalty for drug smuggling and, Spain's historic link to World Book Day.Contributors:Youk Chang – lived through the Khmer Rouge regime Aki Ra - child soldier of Cambodia Elizabeth Becker – journalist and author Professor Shuji Nakamura – inventor of the white LED lightbulb Bishop Tim Harris – friend of one of the Bali Nine families Pere Vicens - book publisher and one of the creators of World Book Day(Photo: The fall of Phnom Penh in 1975.

***This programme contains descriptions of genocide and violence against children*** Fifty years ago the fall of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, to the Khmer Rouge sparked a modern-day genocide that saw millions murdered in just four years. Today, a group that was almost entirely destroyed in the bloodshed is working both in person and online to heal the wounds that are still keenly felt. Religious practice was effectively outlawed under the Khmer Rouge and Buddhist monks were viciously targeted by the regime. By the time the genocide came to an end all but 3,000, of the country's 60,000 monks had been murdered. Now, still seen as the heart of Cambodian society, they re being mobilised to spread a message of non-violence across the country.

First of all, to all of you who lasted through the entire series up to this concluding episode, I extend to you, my deepest appreciation. I hope you learned a few things about Singapore. Here it is, the final installment of the series. I worked on this particular episode during my Oct-Nov China-HK-Cambodia trip. I recorded this one in Phnom Penh at the home studio of Dr. Digby James Wren. Digby's a long-time CHP listener and I gave him a ring when I hit town. Fortunately, he was in PP and generously spent a couple of days with me showing me around the city. The series finishes off with the most recent history of Singapore, including the Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong period from 1990-2024. Everything from the 1970s to the present day is also squeezed into Part 10. Many of you might remember some of these blasts from the past. I'll also look at Singapore-PRC relations and how things developed in recent decades. This final episode will be released on January 19, 2025. I recorded it at Digby Wren's studio in early November and it's been available on my Patreon and CHP Premium channels since then. And now finally, here it is. A special thanks to all Singaporeans and expats there who wrote to me over the past few months with your kind words. Special thanks to Dr. Digby James Wren for allowing me the use of his Phnom Penh Studio!

The communist Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on April 17, 1975. Radha Manickam, a new Christian, watched them arrive from the balcony of his parents' apartment. It was Radha's first exposure to the Khmer Rouge. The leader of the Khmer Rouge was Pol Pot, led the most violent and brutal government in modern history. In its doomed attempt to create an agrarian utopia, between 1975 and 1979 Pol Pot's regime murdered over 1.7 million people. Many were beaten to death or executed. Others starved to death or died of fatigue or some wretched disease. Mao and Stalin's Communist regimes killed far more people. But no other government has destroyed nearly a quarter of its own citizens.Today Pol Pot is largely forgotten. But he and the Khmer Rouge are well worth remembering. Because the ideas that formed the Khmer Rouge are still with us today. Also worth remembering are the stories of those who survived. People like Radha Manickam. We'll be telling his story over the next three episodes. It is in many ways a brutal story. One of loss and grief and terror. But it's also a story of hope and grace. And ultimately, redemption.This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences. The book and this series are titled “Intended for Evil” by Les Sillars.Audio from:The Associated PressNBC NewsABC NewsSupport WORLD News Group at wng.org/donate
