Absolutely incredible advert for Brexit
When China started investigating them in 2020, the Prince Group's leadership started looking for a safe haven to call home, a former insider told me. The US wouldn't take them, but the UK left the door wide open. My latest for @thetimes w/@dicklp: https://t.co/m3qBwbxw3G

This is unbelievably draconian & absolutely must be opposed. If passed, it would give police powers that could be used to ban pretty much any protest or picket in virtually any place.
🚨 BREAKING: The government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests. Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.

Jinbei compounds in SHV is still Operating. They just closed the casinos. These compounds simply changed its property management company.
不过据知情人士对《金边现场》透露，这次西港被关的只是金贝的赌场，金贝的各个园区并没有关，“园区只是太子让换物业而已，相当于换一个承租人。” “柬埔寨这个地方就是这样的，就是换一下物业而已，等风头过去。” 另据一名刚刚去过财通金运园区的人士透露：“那边现在还是很热闹”。

Must be awkward for Manet, sandwiched between the guy who signed off on sanctions against Prince Group less than two weeks ago and the guy who revoked Ly Yong Phat's Thai citizenship less than two days ago. The small talk's probably excruciating.
#BREAKING: Thailand's PM Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodia's PM Hun Manet have signed the "Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords", a declaration in which both commit to "lasting peace" and "rebuilding ties" between both countries. It's overseen by Malaysia PM Anwar and US President Trump.
