A. I used to work for high government officials and they cause a lot of trouble.* I refuse to work for them now because they often say 'Do it first.' They make us order material from abroad- for example, marble from Italy. When they see it and don't like it, they refuse to pay for it.
Because people don't pay the bills, building companies often go bankrupt. I have been bankrupt, too- twice.

It's not enough, it seems, to take the many rewards that are part and parcel of being an inner member of a kleptocracy. Small businessmen must be screwed by the government officials/thieves who make up part of the Cambodian government, too.
* Vong Visal specifically singled out Phnom Penh governor Kep Chuktema as one high-ranking official who was a pleasure to work for.
