Sihanoukville Provincial Governor Mang Sineth, chairman of the provincial Cambodian Red Cross branch committee, led officials to visit 66 Cambodian workers returning from Thailand in Prey Nob district and deliver humanitarian aid, encouraging them to take jobs at home.
The visit took place on the afternoon of October 2, 2025. He was accompanied by Deputy Governor Samut Sothearith, provincial Chamber of Commerce president តាន់ តាត់ and Prey Nob Cambodian Red Cross sub-branch committee chairman អ៊ី ធារិន.
អ៊ី ធារិន said this was the third occasion on which the sub-branch had received Cambodian workers returning from Thailand. He added that all of them now had jobs in factories and special economic zones in Sihanoukville province.
Mang Sineth welcomed the workers home, saying there was no place better than one’s own home.
He said their homeland offered warmth and many jobs in domestic factories. He credited national development under Senate President Hun Sen and Prime Minister Hun Manet, particularly in Sihanoukville province, where five special economic zones were seeking workers for more than 6,000 positions.
He also highlighted the government’s pension policy for employees and workers, saying pensions and National Social Security Fund membership provided three forms of benefits:
1. Health benefits.
2. Occupational risk benefits.
3. Pensions. He said pregnant women could receive 80,000 riel on each of 14 occasions from antenatal care until their children reached the age of two, reflecting the government’s wish for all children to grow up healthy.
Each of the 66 workers returning from Thailand received 25 kilograms of rice, a carton of noodles, a pack of fish sauce, a pack of canned fish, a mat, a pair of shoes, a packet of Khmer bean cakes, and a kit containing a krama, a sarong, a mosquito net and a blanket, as well as 100,000 riel from the provincial Red Cross branch.
