PHNOM PENH: Police in Cambodia were called in on Monday to prevent a riot at a factory whose Chinese manager angered 1,000 workers by ripping up photos of recently deceased former king Norodom Sihanouk.

Police handcuffed Wang Zia Cha, manager of the Top World factory in Phnom Penh, and escorted her to the nearest makeshift shrine honouring Sihanouk where she lit incense and knelt down as employees looked on.

"The workers were very angry with her. If we hadn't stepped in on time, the situation could have turned serious," said Phnom Penh police chief Chuon Sovann.

Wang will remain in detention as authorities investigate whether she broke the law, he said. Unlike neighbouring Thailand, Cambodia does not have specific legislation against insulting the monarchy.

The incident happened after some employees at the factory stopped work to gather around two pictures of Sihanouk.

"When the Chinese lady saw the pictures, she grabbed them... she tried to tear the photos, but she was unable to and she used scissors to cut them," factory employee Sroy Phalla, 42, told AFP.

Top World said staff had been given the day off after the "regretful" incident and Wang had been removed from her role as chief of a production unit.

Sihanouk, who steered Cambodia through decades marked by independence from France, civil war, the murderous Khmer Rouge regime and finally peace, died of a heart attack on October 15 aged 89.

Another nut case! Total lack of EQ and compassion and worse still, she is a manager. Hokkien people would describe this type of behaviour as " jiaksai" or "tarksai".
If this happens in neighbouring Thailand, she'll be jailed and sodomised!

Also true for man-woman relationship, or employer-employee relationship.
The person who wants the relationship less, who can just walk off without a care, has all the power.

Interpersonal relationships are all about power dynamics. If you are the one who's needed more, you call the shots.

aka bargaining power or leverage.........................

But there are 2 other factors: mentality and circumstances.

Take this example:
You are the employer, you have an employee. You have bargaining power.

Your employee detests you and he has an incurable disease and no family/descendents. He now has the bargaining power.

healthy wholesome relationships is all about giving and sharing selflessly to achieve highest level of happiness.

Haha I dare say you are right but I am not pedigree material. :biggrin: When we were still schooling, it was the age of innocence. I am still full of innocence while these ministars have lost theirs!:rolleyes:
