It's likely pointless to plead with this Vietcong-CPP regime to show 'heart' towards its Khmer victims (including pregnant women and their unborn child among the striking workers) when it does not have a heart for them in the first place.
Khmer folks who live overseas thousands of miles from their homeland and compatriots could not help but feel aggrieved and pained seeing the injustice and inhumane treatment handed out to these women; how a routine labour-employer dispute - which when amicably arbitrated could only work out to the mutual benefit of all parties - all such would be a sign of a healthy working democracy in progress is being turned into a political sedition; a "color revolution" against the regime no less?!
As ever, not a single one of the 'elected' members of the National Assembly has bothered to show up to intervene on the workers' behalf. These law-makers have instead opted to snipe the victims from a distance, condemning the women as 'agitated instruments' of insurrection and 'colour revolution'!
But, don't mention the Vietcongs or one will stand accused of xenophobia, anti-Vietnamese rhetoric or worse?

Khmers gave up their land for jobs now have neither. Everything will be stolen from them.
