Bill Ngo survived almost a decade of conflict following the Cambodian Civil War before arriving in Australia. But like thousands of other business owners, he has now become a financial victim of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bill Ngo is a Chinese migrant and proud to call himself an Australian. As a young man, he survived almost a decade of conflict in South East Asia.

Over the years, Bill has given work to dozens of refugees from Vietnam and Cambodia, including many with limited English skills. His ancestors fled Guangdong Province to escape hardship in the 1930s, starting a new life in Cambodia where his father later ran a rice processing business. “We were warned ‘there’s going to be killing fields, there’s going to be a cultural revolution’. They let my father know,” Bill says, referring to the years before Marxist leader Pol Pot took control.The Khmer Rouge held power in Cambodia from 1975 until 1979 and claimed an estimated two million lives under Pol Pot. Millions of families died due to execution, starvation, disease and overwork after being forced to work on communal farms.
