Cambodia appoints representative to oversee Thai firm

BANGKOK, Nov 19 (TNA) – The Cambodian government has appointed a supervisor to oversee Cambodia Air Traffic Services (CATS) and is not permitting Thai employees to perform their duties in the firm following an arrest of a Thai engineer for on espionage charges, according to Samart Corporation PCL.
Despite assurances that the company is and its employees are not spying on Cambodia, CATS itself, wholly-owned by the Samart Corporation, is coming under further pressure in the diplomatic standoff.
CATS employee Siwarak Chutipong, 31, was arrested in Phnom Penh on spying charges last week after he was discovered releasing Thaksin Shinawatra’s flight schedule to a Thai embassy official in Phnom Penh.
