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

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"
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"
Just another putrefying mafia state run by "monitor lizards", supported by UK, USA & China.
"UK is the 2nd largest foreign investor in Cambodia after China. US is Cambodia’s biggest trading partner & export destination, receiving 1/3 of Cambodian exports, US$3 billion a year"
Cambodia is run by a kleptocratic elite that generates much of its wealth via the seizure of public assets, particularly natural resources.

As laid-off NagaWorld employees protest in Phnom Penh, you can add your voice to call for the release of all detained workers & dropping of all criminal charges related to trade union activity.
They use a dataset skewed toward Yunnan & Laos (p. 16), leading to phylogeographic models that place SARS-CoV ancestors far from Wuhan & Guangdong (p. 12).
This sampling bias undermines the reliability of their geographic inferences.
23. Neglecting Alternative Hypotheses
No SARS-CoV-like viruses near emergence sites?
They completely overlook non-bat reservoirs, like civets or pangolins, which could explain local circulation (p. 15).
This omission weakens their claim of distant ancestor origins (p. 12).
24. Inconsistent Molecular Clock Rates
The paper misuses variable NRR-specific clock rates, which give inconsistent SARS-CoV ancestor dates (e.g., 1944–2014 for SARS-CoV-2, p. 9).
Without any validation of bat-specific rates, this approach has no rational grounding (p. 14).
"our inferences of the time of the ancestors of human SARS-CoVs and their closest bat sarbecoviruses are UNBIASED"
6. Captain Obvious Strikes Again (1)
"we show that the ancestors of SARS-CoV-1 & SARS-CoV-2 likely circulated in horseshoe bat populations 100s to 1000s km away from the sites of the emergence of these viruses in humans & as recently as one to six years prior to this emergence"
7. Captain Obvious Strikes Again (2)
"Our findings indicate that there would not have been sufficient time for the direct bat virus ancestor to reach the locations of emergence of the human SARS-CoVs via normal dispersal through bat populations alone"
Fragments of human SARS-CoVs share recent common ancestors with bat viruses
SARS-CoV-like viruses have circulated in Asia for millennia
Ancestors of human SARS-CoVs likely circulated in China & Laos
Ancestors traveled unexpectedly fast
2. No Pangolins allowed!
There is insufficient temporal signal when calibrating a molecular clock using tip dating with sarbecoviruses sampled from bats & pangolins, likely as a consequence of limited sampling across space & time.
Therefore, we used SARS-CoV-1 genomes!
3. Definitely no pangolins!
As sampling locations of SARS-CoV-1, 2 & pangolin sarbecoviruses likely do not represent where their direct bat virus ancestors circulated, we EXCLUDED their locations from phylogeographic analyses to avoid the IMPACT of dispersal of non-bat hosts!
"I worked with researchers in this space - virology + combatting future pandemics - in the decade before the pandemic".
2⃣ One Fact
"The one fact that the last 5 years never readily disclosed is that the core ideology of this community of researchers was fundamentally divided"
3⃣ Lab based creation of super-viruses
"About half of the researchers, including many leading virologists whose names appeared in the news, believed and argued passionately for the lab-based creation of super-viruses and super-bacteria"
