Wumao mad dy. Your thread got lipoted for saying harsh truth

Must be backed by CIA, just like Chang in Ronaapur

TS you know golden triangle many of them were the remnant of KMT troops who retreated there after they lost the civil war right?

And Cambodia Casino is owned by a Malaysia from Jenjarum.

Not nagaworld the biggest operator in Cambodia?

Yes, and it is owned by Malaysian.

They have special agreement with Hunsen, no other casino can get nearer than 100km from Nagaworld.

Those is Shihanaukville are all dying now, because the Chyna government is forcing Hunsen to shut them down.

Why China wants Cambodia to shut down the casino in there?

Stopped reading at Radio Free Asia nuff said.

Cambodia overun by China people.

So you know this guys is a gangster and he will be prosecuted once he returned to Chyna right?

It is laos decided to let him stay there.

Chyna shut down all Casinos / Online gambling etc all over the globe as long as they found out they were operated by Chinese and using WeChat pay and Alipay as money laundering tools.

send so much money into a country to build infra knowing they can't repay u
thn u own the country...they have to do whatever u say

that's how they do it

Yes, send the freedom bomb better.

Someone already triggered by the title

Yap Ah Loy of Laos?

Probably another city built from gangsterism. Even if the boss is caught and executed, this city may still flourish from its location, at the heart of the golden triangle

People use casino to launder money.

Was he? Time to re-read again

Reminds me of my trip to Sihanouk which is totally unpleasant with all those massive construction where most rows of buildings are casinos and the majority of the tourists are PRCs. It seems like traveling in Malaysia is also cheaper than traveling around Cambodia on taxi.

Beaches and seaside view may be beautiful (which beaches don't?) but other than that it is obvious that the majority of the citizens there are of the uneducated and poor and can only watch the Chinese from afar enjoying the cleaner beaches of their country - as beaches are privatized for tourists and they borders are set as a deterrent which they complied to.

Plenty of crap to say about that place, and wouldn't recommend the area for travel as it they are no match to Thailand... unless you want to flex in social media spending USDs on this undeveloped country where the cost of living is equivalent to US & Europe.

Lol. Radio Free Asia….

What’s next? Falunggong is real news and not a anti China cult?

I on the other hand enjoy my stay there.

Why so tense judge this and that when go holiday?

Open mind la don’t so easily dengki.

Because holidays is supposed to be relaxing or pleasurable or both?

Didn't know it has to do with jealousy.

Publisher is Changraitimes, they just told Radio Free Asia.
Don't come with your whataboutism again, it doesn't make the report less true in any sense.

If you’ve been to outskirts casino towns in Cambodia u know how cowboy it is.

Just like Myanmar, all the drug lord control the gov regardless under the junta or even democratic Aung San Suu Kyi....


Shadowy Drug Lord Wei Hsueh-kang’s Influence Still Felt in Myanmar’s Wa Region and Beyond

By Aung Zaw 9 March 2020

His Burmese name is U Sein Win, though he doesn’t speak Burmese. His primary language is Chinese—a colloquial, unpolished variety of the Yunnan dialect.

One of Southeast Asia’s most notorious drug lords, he has spent the past decade lying low somewhere along the Myanmar-China border. And he recently held a meeting with Myanmar officials in Kunming, China.

Wei Hsueh-kang (as he is more commonly referred to), now in his 70s, may be shadowy, but he is far from unknown to the powers that be in Myanmar and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Speaking through an interpreter, the fugitive drug lord, who presides over a vast business empire, asked Myanmar peace officials in December to convey to State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi an invitation to visit Panghsang, the headquarters of the United Wa State Army (UWSA) in the Wa Self-Administered Zone in northern Shan State.

He also promised the Myanmar delegates that a peace deal could be agreed between the central government and the Wa leaders if the State Counselor accepted the invitation and visited the Wa region. Surprised to see him sitting in the room together with the other top Wa leaders, the Myanmar peace negotiators said his unexpected presence made for an awkward meeting, adding that his authority could clearly be felt in the room. They noticed that Bao Youyi, the No. 2 in the UWSA leadership, politely prepared a chair for Wei, a sign of his influence and status as a member of the UWSA’s politburo.

The Wei brothers

Wei is the most prominent of three brothers. The eldest, Hsueh-long, is believed to have retired, leaving only Hsueh-kang and Hsueh-yin still active.

According to veteran journalist Bertil Lintner, who has written several books on Myanmar and the illicit trade in Shan State, the Wei brothers “were engaged in both espionage and opium trading.”

The Wei brothers were connected with the Kuomintang-CIA spy network along the Yunnan frontier until the Burmese communists drove them out in the 1970s, Lintner notes in his book “Burma In Revolt: Opium and Insurgency Since 1948.”

Wei Hsueh-kang subsequently joined the late drug lord Khun Sa’s Mong Tai Army (MTA), and apparently became treasurer to Khun Sa, who would later briefly detain Wei.

After being released by Khun Sa, Wei fled to Thailand and later traveled to Taiwan. In Thailand, after splitting with Khun Sa, he and his brothers set up a heroin empire along the Thai border with Myanmar and made a fortune. He was also allegedly involved in killing some of Khun Sa’s men in a revenge hit in northern Thailand.

In 1986, Wei was arrested and detained in Thailand. He was sentenced to death but managed to escape and never returned to the country. In Thai he is known as Prasit Chiwinnitipanya, but his Thai nationality was eventually revoked. Since 1993, the US has offered a US$2 million (2.7 billion kyats, at today’s rate) bounty for information leading to his capture or death, as a heroin trafficker.

In 1989, when the Wa rebels reached a ceasefire deal with the Myanmar junta, then known as the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), Wei returned to Panghsang. He bankrolled the Wa leadership, who at that time were cash-strapped and looking for assistance to rebuild the Wa region and their army, to the tune of several million dollars.

Indeed, Wei was one of the founders of the UWSA and became one of its most prominent politburo members. One seasoned observer described him as the Wa’s “ATM machine”.

At one time, Wei served as a commander in the UWSA and helped Myanmar troops to attack the stronghold of Khun Sa, who finally surrendered to the junta in 1996. Wei was allowed to take control of that MTA area.

In any case, the truce with the regime gave the Wa and other ethnic militias operating in the area, including Kokang insurgents, the opportunity to develop one of the largest drug-running operations in Southeast Asia.

The Myanmar military’s spy intelligence agency issued ID cards for Wa leaders but also provided protection for drug lords. “It is clear that the drug lords in the northeast are enjoying protection from the highest level of Burma’s military establishment, and not just from some corrupt local commanders,” Lintner wrote.

Singapore accused of hypocrisy on drug stance
By Connie Levett and Rachel Kleinman
November 23, 2005 — 11.00am

https://www.theage.com.au/national/singapor...123-ge1als.html


SINGAPORE'S Government has been accused of hypocrisy in its pursuit of the death penalty against minor drug traffickers while retaining strong economic ties to Burma, a global heroin supplier.

Singapore is Burma's most important investor. Burma, under military control since 1988, is one of the world's biggest heroin sources. The drug accounts for more than half of the country's economy.

Singapore Democratic Party leader Chee Soon Juan said Singapore needed to focus on the Burmese drug lords not on drug "mules" if it was serious about keeping Singapore clean of drugs. "This Government keeps going on about having to take a tough stance on drugs and what a scourge illicit drugs are in our society. Fine, but go and get it at its source," Dr Chee said.

"What's the point of getting the mules? You know these drug lords are just going to find new people to get the drugs."

Dr Chee said Singapore's continuing policy of investing more than $US1 billion ($A1.35 billion) in government funds in Burma despite the regime's complicity in the opium trade was hypocritical. Burma is the biggest single provider of heroin to South-East Asia. "The Singapore Government has access to the Burmese military, it needs to ask them hard questions: what are you doing on the drug lords?" said Dr Chee, who opposes the death penalty.

Singapore has maintained a ruthless public position on drug traffickers and refused to reconsider the death sentence for Melbourne man Nguyen Tuong Van.

Bertil Linter, who has written extensively on Burma's drug trade, said Singapore was the first country to invest heavily in Burma when the regime reopened its borders to foreign investment in the 1990s.

"The main issue was the Traders Hotel, which was built by Asia World, a construction company owned by the Lo family — Lo Hsien Han and his son Steven Law, in conjunction with Singapore interests," Mr Linter said. Lo Hsien Han is widely recognised as one of the most powerful drug lords in Burma and was a frequent visitor to Singapore until recently. His son Steven Law, who has been barred from entering the US on suspicion of involvement in drug trafficking, has an office in Singapore.

The Singapore Government's joint venture with the drug lord came through the Myanmar Fund, set up to channel investment into Burma, which has since been shut down. Singapore's involvement was through its billion-dollar Government Investment Corporation.

Professor Desmond Ball, of the Australian National University's Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, said many Burmese drugs lords used Singapore for banking.

"Some of Burma's closest economic relations are with Singapore," Professor Ball said "A lot of electronic transaction services in Burma are run through Singapore."

Singapore Technologies, a quasi-government agency, also supplied a wide range of services to Burma's ruling junta. "Internet monitoring, telephone monitoring is done with Singaporean equipment and assistance and the cyber warfare office in Rangoon is built and maintained by Singaporeans," he said.

Professor Garry Rodan, from Murdoch University's Asia Research Centre, said the relationship appeared to be one purely of economic gain. "Over the years (the drug issue) has not bothered Singaporean investors a great deal," he said.

You are just poison pen by accusing others without grounds.
The truth is recognized Chinese gangster exerted extraordinary influence in the running of the country along with a lot of criminal activities.
Refute me about that point if you have evidence otherwise instead of using poison pen tactic or misdirection.

Keep going.

China drug and gambling lords is plenty abroad, not just in Laos, in some streets of Vietnam too. These gangster needs to be killed without mercy.

Over the years, they will slowly exert their controls starting first with local gov, and slowly move up the rank through corruptible politicians and local officials.

harassment of crime-linked owner ?

Zhao Wei is my childhood crush

Y r u spreading fake news?
Do u have no shame?

Well I am school you to be open minded when go other country and worst you share in social media like it is ok to do so.

fukken boss !

go big or go home

Defak.. gangsters and drug lords also wanna plotek ka? The job scope is to plotek anything and anyone from China ka? 🤦🏻‍♂️

How's the cheong scene there?

Say anything bad about China, they are triggered.

Maybe can ask encik acbc

Lol. The moment anything that comes from "China Uncensored" and "Radio Free Asia" or "Daily Mail" as far as I am concerned, they are all US propaganda.

If I put in sources from "CGTN" and "CCTV" saying shit about the US you will start whining "CCP propaganda".

Poison pen? Lol. I am just saying shit as it is. Truth pen more like.

Fact is, US and China are both now in a war - a propaganda war. RFA can be believed as much as shit can be eaten. Likewise one should be wise to treat whatever CGTN or CCTV says about the US.

So now, fuck this "Radio Free Asia" shit. Lies lies and more fucking lies.

Just like how Adrian Zenzs tells from fucking American think tank about Xinjiang, same how this article says about "gangster". Until today I have been looking for a single photo of mass graves in Xinjiang with hundreds of thousands of Uighurs getting "genocided" I got bupkis.

Radio Free Asia? Lol. Try again.

Imagine the name is Zhu hao instead.

So you are saying that the report is false, and Zhao Wei is indeed a legitimate, honest businessman instead of a gangster and his casino business is clean?

Thanks to the British, they learn the drug trade art from them...

I believe the word that you're looking for is "loan".

It works both ways, you know. Nothing is free in this world.

Did those countries expect China to give out loans for no reason?

I am saying the moment there are "Radio Free Asia", "China Uncensored" and other US government or Falunggong or obviously anti China websites post any shit piece about China, I will stop reading after seeing those words.

Same thing with CCTV and CGTN about America.

Yeah. As far I am concerned, lies and propaganda. Not going to waste my time with that kinda shit.

The day I swallow Western lies, deceit, propaganda are long over.

Don't misdirect the topic, do you think this article is false?
That Zhao Wei is a honest businessman who runs a legitimate casino in Laos, without involvement in crime.
Don't act, pretend, shoot and run away.
Just yes or no.

As far as I am concerned, even if some facts are true, it will be so heavily slanted to paint a picture worse than it truly is.

So yeah, that is also false to me.

Not going to waste time on that

From my visit to Sihanouk.... the place is surrounded by casinos and ran by PRCs. Development by PRCs. Construction workers and laborers. Many businesses also have PRCs as taukeh. The locals are mostly working in menial jobs as cab drivers, or in those kedai runcits or casino workers. If you think PRCs are running Malaysia, try visiting there and you will understand lucky we are (other than that island around Johor I think).

Of course those syndicate - be it ran by that mobster Zhao Wei or that used-to-be-fapped Zhao Wei was another thing.....

Hey, Cambodians wanted Chinese money and business. Also, bear in mind those places are designed to attract Chinese gamblers as well.

The PLA did not invade Cambodia to force them to let them run Sihanoukville. This is what everyone forget. China has not let a single of their bombs anywhere around the BRI to compel people to join.

You want their investment, money and infra? Of course you need to accede to their T&Cs. If you don't, just say no. Plenty of countries had. No harm done.

It is after someone takes their money and then whine like a bitch about "debt traps" later that I can't stand. You are all sovereign countries. Most of the democratic. With democracy comes responsibilities. Vote in lah honest leaders.

moral of the story,.. don't petty crime,.. do big crime,...

True to ecrl too

Same here la

Same like stealing milo get life time jail, steal berbillion no jail

Dengkike? Many businesses are control by helangss, be it PRCs or not. Many are just pipitss living the way they want you to be.

Nagaworld lo

actually it's the receiving countries that are stupid to accept it...knowing they can't repay it at all

it's the same as ah long case...if u don't borrow, which ah long is gonna be able to kacau u...u have to be stupid enough to initiate the loan 1st

divide and conquer. good la china.

ehemmm u knmow alot msian owned cambodia casino right ??

No shame like takmaluapaboosku ah?

Which part you think is fake? Which part you think cannot be googled?

Even china prc dulan

You know PRC didn't intervene Macau business operation right?

If they do, all Casinos in Macau has to be shut down. No Casino is allowed in mainland China.

Invasive species.

Should just stay in China ecosystem.

Ppl aledi show u post fake news...
Obviously u are a shameless retard...

those casinos operating in sihanoukville cambodia use for laundering
see the amount of players knew already

kek, unable to provide any evidence and losing a debate resort to personal attack.

Typical loser.

Aint gonna spoonfeed retard fake news speader like u...
What a pathetic loser ...

I remember he came back earlier 2020 do some personal documents and stuck here with lockdown. Didn't manage to travel back there.

For sure I know you retarded your logic is.

You went to the town part of sihanoukville izzit? Only PRC tourists go there. Wanna enjoy sihanoukville should go to Otres beach area.

Cost of living equivalent to US and UK? You want cheap food got a lot of option as long as you avoid areas nearby nagaworld. Near otres can get 10 -20 usd per person for fine dining. Normal meals around KL price only that is in decent restaurants. If wan cheaper option can go where the locals go. Some are not bad, found a local shop which taste quite gooding, me and wife eat total 8 usd only. But most of the time we go for more nicer place to eat la since it’s fairly cheap.


Depends what you want la, sihanoukville is a chill place just depends which part of sihanoukville you go to.

Ya town part. Went to plenty of beaches also la dunno got one populated with Turkish or some kind of arabian descent town as well. Got ripped there also.

Damn, if I had known you had gone b4 would had asked you about that. In town area, that roti naan also costs USD8.

Maybe if got time may reconsider, but after experiencing other countries very likely not to... After all prefer to chill on hills than getting burnt on beaches....

Do you know how sihanoukville was like before prc money flooding in? how much was local wages and what job opportunity available? do you know how much locals made from prc in land lease, etc?

The usd 8 place is like a small pekan around 10 min bike ride from otres I also not sure what it’s called but I know how to ride there from otres la. If you do go there again I suggest just chill at otres beach and makan all also can settle at otres beach u want simple makan minum most of the beachside shops/restaurants there with drink wise 5-7 per person can settle and it’s a hearty meal.

For breakfast/brunch I usually go to papa pippo, their pizza is quite nice. Around usd 8 or 9 for a seafood pizza, more than enough for 2 person to eat. Not too far from it also got restaurants where you can get roasted chicken with rice and mash for 4 or 5 usd like that. Still ok la for tourist area, 2x5 with Thailand also, Phuket simple fried rice already 100-120 baht nowadays.

For dinner, usually I just pay a bit more extra and go eat at secret garden, nice environment, candle light, better food quality. 2 person usually between 30-50usd could be more of course if you order wine by bottle.

One thing I love about sihanoukville though is their Chang draught beer, 0.5 usd during happy hour and only 1usd non happy hour. I find myself having Chang for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper. Hahaha 😂

The name i thought it was the the actress Zhao Wei.

Can only more or less guess from the looks at the non developed areas, which suggest Felda-like settler poverty or worse. Other than that didn't think the PRC money flowing in could be any better for the locals there. Btw what's the point of the question?

My time there was mostly spent going out to the beaches from my 100usd/night hotel and then back (forgot the name), breakfast usually taken at hotel and others usually at the golden roundabout area. That should be a rip-off place, right?

Need to ask wife if we went to Otres b4 or not bcos itinerary all arranged by her.

Anyway great advise, the way you described the spending cost was somehow similar to when we were in Bali.

Golden roundabout area is the most rip off place of all man. Memang they potong you nicely one around there.

Yeah cost wise I would say it’s similar to bali/Phuket(patong beach) kinda pricing.

Did you guys go visit the killing fields?

lol misti keje 50 sen nih

Niamah... One bottle of that similar Chang beer (as previous reply) at golden roundabout was USD3 or 6... can't remember much because not a memorable trip. Regret gila there.

Killing fields that was other place right... so no... We were only at Sihanoukville...

Yeah bro golden roundabout area mainly cater to the rich PRC tourists. I took a bike there and was there for barely 2 hours, everything was so expensive!

Most non Asian tourist go to otres beach and you got accommodation all the way from the budget/backpacker range to some really nice premium ones like secret garden which need to book way way in advance. I stayed at white boutique hotel which is around 80usd per night and quite nice but still wish to get to go to secret garden next time, it looks even nicer.

few locals complained of in flood of $$$. suggest you find out more from locals rather than imposing your opinion from one short visit.

So, the point of your argument is?

TS CCP wumao

You are a know yindian defenders

So off course you say can open mind there.
