A MASS FAINTING took place at a Cambodian factory this week, with 300 workers falling ill over two days.
Reuters states the incident took place at a factory in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh and isn’t the only such mass fainting to take place in the country.
This week, about 200 female garment workers fainted while working at King Fashion Garment on Wednesday afternoon.
On Thursday morning, another 100 people fell sick.
According to Reuters, district police chief Born Sam Ath said the workers were in bad health, didn’t eat enough and were working in stuffy conditions.
There are around 2,000 people employed at the factory.
Workers told Reuters that there had been a bad smell inside the factory for two days and that heat also contributed to the fainting.
In April, another mass fainting took place, involving 800 workers over two factories.
Many Western brands source their clothing in Cambodia, and are under pressure to ensure their suppliers provide decent working conditions for employees.

The Guilty….98% on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s tonight’s tv sorted so. Beats RTE reruns anyway. Thanks for that!
@Harry Meany: surprisingly it’s very good, on par with 12 angry men
@Harry Meany: excellent yeah. Really enjoyed it
@Harry Meany: Just watched it, absolutely brilliant!
Another gem is Irish revenge thriller ‘Bad Day for the Cut’, in my opinion the most underrated movie on Netflix.
@Paul Ryan: good man Paul. On your recommendation I took a watch of that movie . Very good I enjoyed it.
Thanks journal,any other suggestions would be fantastic in the comments
@thomas mitchell: watched The Two Popes today, great stuff
@thomas mitchell:
King Arthur… great movie, like a medieval Snatch.
@thomas mitchell: The Grimsby Brothers.
@thomas mitchell: if you like sci fi, check out Love, Death and Robots. If you like drama, line of duty. But to be honest, I think Amazon Prime are doing a free month if you sign up with them. In your free month watch, The Boys (epic by the way), Sea-men (The grand tour crew do a one of special in boats), Fleabag.. comedy gold. The Terror.. very intense horror series set in the first expedition to the north Pole. And the best hangover series ever made, Parks and recreation.
@Harry Meany: watched that on Christmas night, brilliant. Also recommend All the Money in the World about the Getty family.
@thomas mitchell: “The King” was good
@thomas mitchell: “you” very enjoyable
Just watched The Guilty. Super stuff! Just shows if you have a good storyline and a good actor that’s all you need.
Harry you’re on a roll today
If your into si-fi, “I am Mother” is above average
“The Guilty” just watched it. Really enjoyed it. Highly recommended. Cheers The Journal..
The Stranger is superb
Well they are well hidden, have been watching Netflix and its mostly rubbish..
@Marina Mc Garry: so much on Netfiix can’t be all rubbish,actually some great stuff on it.
The hole in the ground is absolute rubbish.as an avid horror fan please believe me when i say avoid it at all cost.
Watched the guilty would highly recommend it. Some one mentioned earlier 12 angry men type movie . And I couldn’t agree more . If that type of one room movie is you thing. Then check out the sunset ltd. or sus . Very similar type movies .
Don’t waste your time with the hole in the ground, utter rubbish..
@Rachael Blanchfield: agreed. An absolute bore with paper characters
Try Earthquake Bird. Excellent. Vikander is really good.
“The Guilty”. Its subtitled, but doesn’t matter.
Loved it cos it’s not soaps, or Strictly, or Fittest Family.
A really well written one off.
