Kampong Chhnang: Nearly 100 construction workers, most of whom have just returned from Thailand, have gathered to protest the failure of the owner of a hydroelectric construction company in Peani Village, Kampong Tralach District, Kampong Chhnang Province, to pay their wages for more than a month.

Speaking to the Collective Union of Movement of Workers on condition of anonymity, a female construction worker said that most of the construction workers are from remote provinces and have just returned from Thailand. They really need money to return to their hometowns during the Pchum Ben festival.

Another worker said that the owner has repeatedly tried to delay paying their wages, making it difficult for them to return to their hometowns during the Pchum Ben festival. The worker stated, "We have protested many times, but there is no solution. Now, we all have no money, not even for a bus to our hometown to reunite with our families."
