The Lao government kept the US $ ( hard currency ) and gave to victim the Lao kip that is worth less than a loo roll.

Reply to this commentThis is the whole picture. Free world countries sent relief funds to help victims of dam collapse.The Attapeu governor declared that the money would be used to repair roads in the province and only a few dollars were given to the victims. Not long after that, the governor said Laos didn't need more money but refused to return it to donators. At the same time the Lao blood-sucking government negotiated with Thai and south Koreans dams builders to get compensation. The money given to victims now is the money they should have received from relief funds. And the compensation is now pocketed by the Lao rat-government. Neat isn't it !

Reply to this comment10,000 US dollars are exactly what victims should have received from the relief funds. The Lao party-state is very smart they keep the relief funds money and they give a tiny bit of it now to victims of dam collapse. It means they keep compensations from insurance and dam builders for themselves. Go to H... Lao part-state!

WHY DON'T THEY JUST SHUT UP AND GIVE THEM A FAIR COMPENSATION AMOUNT SO THEY COULD MOVE ON WITH THEIR LIFE.

United States need to stop sending aid money to Laos, or manage the aid funds themselves, that's the only way to keep the greedy Laos Government from taking advantage of the funds!
