  • For thousands of asylum seekers, Australia represents the country of their dreams. But the government has declared that anyone who comes to Australia by boat will not be allowed to stay.
    Instead, they are sent to detention centres on the island nations of Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
    Unable to remain there indefinitely, refugees have been offered the chance to start a new life in Cambodia. But critics say the country is plagued by poverty and corruption. To date, only five refugees have taken up the offer.
    101 East follows Cambodia's resettled refugees and investigates the repercussions of this multimillion-dollar refugee transfer deal.

    I've traveled to over 50 countries around the world. I'm a Canadian who chose to move to Cambodia for 5 years. I absolutely love Cambodia. All the shots you see in this video of Cambodia, make Cambodia seem like a crappy place to live but it certainly is not. It's beautiful and the people are wonderful. I plan to move back to Cambodia in a years time. I miss it everyday.

    The room where those "refugees" are talking at 15:21 in the video looks better than the 25 dollars/month room where I lived for about 3 months. Many families in Cambodia live in places like that, but that is already quite far from the bottom of the scale (in Cambodia and in Myanmar). And the villa where the IMO is housing the refugees for one year looks like a place where only the top 1% of locals can afford to live. Those are economic migrants, not refugees fleeing for their lives. I can't blame them for trying since I'll probably do the same in their situation, but those are not the kind of people refugee laws are for. This guy already got a super fantastic deal, but hey, if he can try for more... Other people have done much better, and he knows it.

    As a refugee, you should be greatful that you don’t have to live in a country where your children hear gunfire out the window and the military takes a family member away never to be seen again. That’s what a real refugee would be greatful for. If your plan is to go to a rich country and benefit off the economy, then you’re classified as an economic migrant.

    I watched this video with an open eye. I don't share any sympathy for the young man simply because he plays at being a victim and not doing anything proactive to help himself! He set his sights on Australia, and instead was sent to Nauru, then offered to start a new life in Cambodia where his religion and culture is tolerated. He refuses to learn to speak Khmer, then expects the government to help assist with his return home?! His friends work hard for a living to support their families and despite the struggle for their children to get an educated (Cambodia does not offer education to non-cititzens) they somehow manage to survive. This guy is given a chance to start anew, yet refuses to do anything proactive to help his situation.

    • @geoff3379
      @geoff3379 8 лет назад +6

      El Perro Loco I strongly agree that the money went straight to their pockets.I also believe the aussie went about this all wrong or wrong people to go to.There are private sectors who are trust worthy and can pull it off.Look at the GDP growth in cambodia at the moment,highest in the region all because of the private sector not the government.That being said the money is gone and refugees needs to understand that theyre guests and the host has all the rights to do what ever they please.Dont like it? get out or starve and die.No such thing as welfare in cambodia.

    • @wiseass2149
      @wiseass2149 8 лет назад

      +Bin Laggin I think you should be more upset at the corruption, as opposed to who's getting welfare. Frankly, Cambodia stays a poor nation because of the wealth being concentrated in so few hands. Maybe if you worked on changing that dynamic. Welfare wouldn't be a concern. Frankly, this is looking like a violation of human rights. Australia is going wind up wasting money and time moving migrants around. Cambodia is losing out too because those refugees could have become massive assets to a nation. The key for anything nation to be successful is mastering immigration. For me I couldn't care less who's on welfare. Markets can't be worth more than someone's life at that live. What Cambodia has is unsustainable and could implode.

    • @wiseass2149
      @wiseass2149 8 лет назад

      +Bin Laggin You could go talk to these refugees or give them status to allow them to work. By the way it's not 51% of Americans of welfare. And in America 90% of people on welfare do work. The reason they're on welfare is because their wages are too low to live on. You seem very misinformed.

    • @geoff3379
      @geoff3379 8 лет назад +2

      El Perro Loco Maybe i am,but what i see here is what i believe in.And i see welfare shooting up over weight doesnt want to work they get pregnant so they can set themselves up for another 18 years of paychecks people take advantage of the system.Every two to three houses in a block here are on welfare with bikes and drives the latest cars while the people who actually work have much less. They seem to think the world owes them.I believe in making things happen instead of sitting around hoping one day something will fall through.Welfare is an inside joke here for people who doesnt want to work but of course their are people out there who genuinely need help to get on back on their feet, those are the ones we should concentrate on.I see the same problem in these refugees.

They r allowed to stay in the country & they dare to say they do want to learn the people language ,what an insult to the host ! Your own country doesn’t want you or didn’t support you & yet you expect people to accept you when you don’t respect them !you need to go back to where you came from ! No one will accept an arrogant person like you ! Just go back to your country like the others if u r s

    I fled from Cambodia to Thailand refugee camp, then we got accept to USA. I have been working for 20 years every day. Maybe 2 to 3 days off per years. My body hurts all over. I cry most of the time due to PTSD and depression. I am 52 years old now. I still cry missing parent being killed during the Communist. I work at night. I cry all by myself , wiped out my tear and go out to help a customer who come in buying coffee or donuts. They are not aware that I am crying while I am in back making Donuts. Nigtmare or Night Terror or not I am always treat people with respect. This is just a emotional state. I still other physical issue my L5 spinal disc has been messed up since I was 12 years of age. I became a man since that age. Now I am still have that back problem. I crawl to bed, out of bed and go to work not even a single day of for 20 years. In 2016 my ring finger is got lock can move. It was so painful. Extreme pain 24 hours pain. I can use only three fingers to make donuts on my right hand. In 2017, God has a GREAT sense of humor. The same finger on the left hand got locked up. Now both of my of my hands has exptreme pain daily. The only I feel no pain when falling asleep. Am I a cripple now? Only three fingers on the right hand, and other three fingers on the left hand. Cann't wash my face without hurting both of my elbows. Can't lift coffee pots without hurting both of my elbows. Server depression, worrying about my family future. PTSD still keep haunting me. Getting mad at God, but thank him for leaving three fingers on each hand to perform my daily tasks. Two year right hand and two year left hand. This four years is quite a test for me. To give up or continue. Now my fingers are getting better every day somtimes I feel it is creeping back. Depression and PTSD continue it course. Still cry and scream in my sleep constainly. 2019 God sent me another, test, this year another bigger test. This year is maybe the last test he will ever send because it might land me in the emergency room very often. I have gone thru this experience without any medicine or counselor. All I do just love myself, others, my family and all my pets and God. I am a Buddhist. I don't thinks so. I am a Christian? I don't think so. I pray yes. Evey day I open my eyes and sitting in my car and pray. Who is my God. My God is a power of love and compassion. I have helped quite a few people even though I am having my difficult time in my life. I don't have any friend any more. I try to seek any opportunity to be an instrument of help to others. He is very young and capable. Be strong both mental and physical so that he can help other refugees around him. He can even help other poorer Cambodian. Stop take medicine. It only wear you down. Back pain, elbow pain finger pain, I still be able to defend myself if someone try to come at night to harm me, especially I am staying at the Donut Shop and open door to public at night. It is very dangerous. That's why I decide to be alert and able to protect myself. Medicine make u drowsy and useless all day. Am I bragging? No. Just want to share all those curve balls God throw at me. Will I survive this year? Not sure, but I am tough, I am strong. This is the principle I have to tell myself. I cry alot. PTSD is suck. One day I cried from 8 to 4 in the afternoon when I was in United State Army. Then in 2000 I cried from 6 till 12 nonstop. Why? My parents got killed by the Khmer Rouge, all the dead bodies I witness since my childhood. Khmer hate me because I am Chinese. Chinese hate me because I am not Chinese enough. Khmer hate me because I look like Vietnamese. Some parents don't want their kids to play with me because I am an orphan. No parents means you are not well disciplined and educated. I was called a Viet Cong by one of the Drill Sergent. It is not cool at all, but I don't let it bother me at all. One of the female Drill Sergent called me a sissy. What do u expect from a 110 pound little boy? When I graduate from Boot Camp, I weight 135 pound. Enough of my life long story. I can write a book about this story. I plan to make a UTub channel to help those younger people out there. Life is precious if you live for others, but not for yourself. I am not ready to go and make my Maker yet. Before I live for my sisters in my family. Now I live for my two boys. Maybe later live for my Grand kid and Great Grand kids. My life does not belong to me. I told myself I can't die. It sounds corny, but what it is. If you can 't think like that you will commit suicide eventually. PTSD and server depression is no a joke. Love and peace. Wear your masks. It save lives. By the way. I am updating another reason for other to hate me. I have been a 99 percent since 2019 till now. First do for my health. Now I do it for the animals and the environment. I am Chinese, but I am not eating bats, dogs and other animals. It is not funny, I know. By the way, I still dance when making Donuts even sometime I could hardly walk. I still have some light in my dark life. Be positive. A better tomorrow will come. When? When I running with my great grand kids. Pain and suffering is just another side of the coin, happiness and feeling pride and dignity. Live for others if yours is suck. Don't hate me. Because I am specially STRONG.....LOL

      If you’re fleeing from war stricken countries (especially wars that America, Europe, & in some regards Australia has an active hand in) then you should expect to be allowed in. You can’t supply weapons to poor nations with limited/corrupt governments and civil wars and expect the innocent to just sit and make due. It’s a privilege to be able to sit and make due some people in the world risk, death, famine, forcable compliance in civil wars/deadly regimes, gang rape/violence, etc. everyone escaping isn’t going through the same thing so to assume that someone should or even could just sit and make due with the situation they’re dealt is disgusting and absolutely privileged of you.

    Update on Rashid per a Google search...as of late 2019 he was operating a roti stand in Cambodia and got married to a Rohingya woman who is also a refugee. He still yearns to get to the West as he subsequently learned that many Australia refugee rejects have been sent to North America and Europe.

    My family is from Cambodia and we're war refugees. I believe that countries should accept refugees into their borders, however it should be under sponsorship. With sponsorship the families get to learn about the culture and the way of life in that country. This help them integrate into their new nation and become normal citizens. Plus this would put less strain on the host country. We still see and talk to the family that sponsored us to come to US and this allowed us to be more successful over other refugees who never really intergraded well.

This is not refugee, but economic seeker. If his life was endangered, why his whole family's lives were not endangered? If he could return in 3 years, then that means his life is not endangered in his own country. I helped refugees for many years, this young man is not a refugee.

    I’m a legal migrant to Cambodia and it’s a very beautiful country with very lovely people. Yes if someone wants to work he / she can find work but it’s definitely not a country where freeloaders will have a easy life. Cambodia can be paradise to those who are willing to integrate and work but otherwise it’s their own fault if they have a difficult life!!! Don’t complain and go to work but don’t expect others to support you! Cambodia 🇰🇭 became home to many legal migrants like myself and all are happy that we can live in this beautiful country 👍

    As a refugee he needs to try to make a life for himself in any country he's sent to. Here he is outright refusing to seek employment in Cambodia, unwilling to learn the language to earn a living. Obviously he is not a refugee but an economic migrant. He's just waiting to go to a country of his choice that could provide for him. Can't sympathize with him here as he has no right to demand for anything.

    Asylum seekers just want to cut in front of legitimate refugees which Australia does take in accordance with UN quotas. Asylum seekers pay people smugglers thousands of dollars to smuggle them by boat to Australia. Even though these are not legitimate refugees, Australian taxpayers are still paying for them to be re-homed in Cambodia. The four asylum seekers that returned to their home countries from Cambodia had passports and are financially well off.

    Failure? the program sounds like a resounding success to me! These people are choosing to go back to the countries they supposedly fled, to save their lives and are spreading their stories of how they were blocked at every turn, and probably lost their seed investment to get to Australia. This will reduce, the amount of people, who try to get into Australia, because it sounds like such a wonderful place. I'm an Australian living in Cambodia, I consider it to be a much better place than Australia.
    Also, I don't have a Cambodian drivers license, you don't need one here. The Cambodian minister, held a surprisingly good interview on the issue, considering he has not grown up understanding all the political games played in western countries. The dramatic attendance at the lock down house, with the refugees int it: Go and look at the refugee camps that look like prisons in Australia... Oh, I forgot, there is a media blackout there, and journalists will be arrested and their film footage confiscated, before they get there. These people are virtue signalling, country shoppers, they will be a drain, on any country they enter. The program, sounds to me, like a big success, hitting all the targets that the Australian government, would have wanted to achieve. This so called documentary, is a one eyed, so before our crew even leaves to get to Cambodia, lets plan where to go, to get what we consider evidence, to support our pre existing view of the situation, piece of garbage.
