Who’s exactly behind this site?
His name is, as the site name suggests, Y (last) Samphy (first). He’s known to the whole world as Phy, though, pronounced as just the English alphabet “P”. Having received bachelor’s degrees in education and law at home in Cambodia, Phy is doing his master’s degree in law in Japan’s Nagoya University and bound to return home to Cambodia in 2009. His major is labor law with the focus on labor dispute resolution. Labor arbitration is of his particular interest, having worked with the Arbitration Council in Cambodia before coming to Japan in 2006. Negotiation skill is also what he would love to improve.
Besides labor arbitration, his interest is also burning in development work. he’s always wished to run projects that help educate village kids in Cambodia’s remote provinces. He strongly believes in the relationship between education and economic development. “With education comes great power to grow,” his principle goes.
His dream is to take the initiative in the establishment of an arbitration association in his home country where arbitrators are together to add another layer for access to labor justice.
Phy gained some work experience with both a private media company and NGOs, having engaged in the world of work in 2002. Media Consulting & Development (MC&D), Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam), The Arbitration Council and Community Legal Education Center (CLEC) are the four organizations that have earned him invaluable work experience. Without them, it would have been much more difficult for him to be what he is today.
