Cambodia: Release jailed union leaders and drop all charges unconditionally 

labourstartcampaigns.net/show_campaign.… 

@labourstart

On Dec 18, 2021 workers at NagaWorld casino hotel began striking to protest management's forced mass redundancy of over 1,300 workers that left many destitute.
Police arrested Chhim Sithar for leading the massive strike against NagaWorld casino.

rfa.org/english/news/c…
The casino’s parent company, Nagacorp, is listed in Hong Kong. It is chaired and majority-owned by Malaysian billionaire Chen Lip Keong.

Before the pandemic, Nagacorp earned $102.3 million in profits in 2020 and more than $521.3 million in 2019.

Malaysia billionaire Chen Lip Keong (曾立强)- founder of Nagaworld ,casino titan in Cambodian capital Phnom Penh.

Chen's wife is Puan Sri Lee Chou Sarn.

They have three sons:

Chen Yiy Hwuan
Chen Yepern
Chen Yiy Fo.
Chen is deemed to be acting in concert with his wife Puan Sri Lee Chou Sarn, and their three sons, namely Yiy Hwuan who is the executive director of Petaling Tin, Yepern and the Yiy Fon (Petaling Tin CEO)

Another list

Chen Lip Keong has a net worth of $1 billion

celebritynetworth.com/richest-busine…

He has greased the eager palms of Cambodian leaders with different "gifts" over the years

For example, $5 million for Cambodia’s COVID-19 vaccine fund

Prime Minister Hun Sen said

“The contribution of Dr Chen Lip Keong is invaluable and will always be remembered by the people of Cambodia.”

& hey presto!

​​Government vows to preserve Angkor while allowing Chinese company (Naga Corp) to develop nearby

"NagaWorld, is Phnom Penh’s only integrated hotel & entertainment complex with a 70-year casino licence running until 2065, as well as an exclusive rights to operate casinos within a 200-km radius of Phnom Penh expiring in 2045"

Do you remember Broken Tooth’ Wan Kuok-koi?

The question arises of his connections to Dr Chen Lip Keong and NagaWorld via a coterie of corrupt Cambodian officials.

Here is a photograph of Broken Tooth posing in the office of Hing Bun Heang, commander-in-chief of the Cambodian Prime Minister's bodyguards.
Here is another photograph of "Broken Tooth" with

In Cambodia, the World Hongmen Association was established in 2018 with Ms. Men Sam An, Deputy Prime Minister and Mr. Sao Sokha, Commander of the Cambodian Military Police also present at the founding ceremony with "Broken Tooth"

Did someone say "Dr Chen Lip Keong" and "Nicky Liow"?

"The World Hongmen History and Culture Association has managed to co-opt elite figures in Malaysia and Cambodia”

The Hun family's business empire

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family has amassed a “vast fortune”, with stakes in at least 114 domestic companies spanning most of the Kingdom’s key sectors, including major energy, telecoms, mining & trading firms
Cambodian Red Cross?

"Dr Chen Lip Keong has also contributed generously towards another COVID-19 fund to assist the government in its fight against the virus, as well as to the Cambodian Red Cross"

GUESS WHO SAID THIS?

"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?

@janeqiuchina

She continued:

"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was." Image
@janeqiuchina About the film:

"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"

"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda" Image

Sebastian Castellio (1551)

To seek truth & to utter what one believes to be true can never be a crime. No one must be forced to accept a conviction

Conviction is free

One of the first proponents of religious toleration, freedom of conscience & thought

gospeltruth.net/zweig/heresy_c…Image
One of the great forgotten men of the Reformation.

One of the greatest minds in Geneva, a brilliant scholar and thinker.

Sebastian Castellio published what has been called "the first manifesto in favor of toleration"

The Plague in Geneva

At the same time, he was the only minister in Geneva during Calvin’s day to risk his life to assist the sick during the Black Plague.

The friend of Truth obeys not the multitude, but the Truth.”

Bloody Hell, it's worse than even I imagined in my darkest nightmares about #scamdemia.

Time to spend some of this tax money on local electronics, biological, ecological, IT, optical, chemistry, engineering & physics labs run by local amateurs for the benefit of our communities?
DRASTIC MEASURES NEEDED

Finally #scamdemia is waking up to the putrid stench of education for profit, ruined lives and academic credential inflation?

Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)

1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:

It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless

The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,

We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.

see Nga et al., 2022 for details

frontiersin.org/journals/publi…Image
3. It is unlikely that anyone will do that now😒

However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.

3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum
