   Company's Half-Year of Safe Operations in Cambodia

   After being disbanded and reorganized from a park in 2026, a company moved to a warehouse in Maddapam, Cambodia, where it has operated safely for nearly half a year. Employees adhere to strict safety principles, avoiding unnecessary outings and maintaining a low profile. The company has grown to nearly 90 employees on-site, with a total of over 110 employees including remote positions. Despite the company's profitability, not everyone can be introduced by old colleagues due to passport and visa issues. The company is vigilant about the safety situation, with telecom fraud suspects being caught and deported monthly. After completing two waves of performance, the company plans to expand to other Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam or Sri Lanka later this year.
