PP Airport Bribery
January 12, 2009
I'm interested in visiting Cambodia again but was very disappointed (for a lack of a better word) by the "begging" being practiced by the employees working at the airport. I learned that this is a common practice -- you slip him\her five or ten bucks and you're being greeted with a smile and move you along quickly. As a Khmer, I am ashamed of this practice. These people are probably middle or upper middle income and why they did this? I would rather donate to a landmine amputee or support the local fruit stand that run by a poor family from a bamboo hut.
My question is is this still happening today?
