More Indonesians are seeking employment in Cambodia’s online gambling industry, amid a six-fold increase in the number of citizens reporting to Indonesia’s embassy in its Indo-China neighbour.
Data from Indonesia’s foreign ministry found that in 2023, the number of Indonesians voluntarily registering with its embassy in Cambodia jumped by 638 per cent as compared with three years before.
Most of these cases are linked to Indonesians who are believed to be involved in online fraud and gambling activities, said a senior Indonesian official.
