The document discusses landmines as a global issue in Cambodia, outlining what landmines are, the current problem they pose, and how efforts are being made to remove them. It describes anti-personnel mines used in Cambodia, methods for removing mines including the work of deminer Akira, and landmine museums that bring awareness to the issue.

Nearly 40,000 people in Cambodia have been injured by landmines since 1979 when an estimated 4-6 million unexplored landmines were planted during conflicts. Landmines cost only $3 to produce but $1,000 to clear. In Cambodia, they threaten lives and development by making land unusable for farming, schools, and housing. Several organizations like the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, Mines Advisory Group, and Halo Trust have worked to clear mines, removing over 66 square kilometers between 1993 and 1999. Individuals like Aki Ra, a former child soldier, have also worked to clear mines and help victims.

Companies in Singapore are testing drones to replace some human jobs like delivering packages, inspecting buildings, and providing security. The drones would allow inspections of buildings to be done faster and cheaper than current methods while reducing accidents. However, some people have concerns about safety and privacy if drones are used widely. One company hopes to fully launch building inspection drones by next year.
Singapore plans to deploy drones to test delivering parcels and inspecting buildings in large areas like shopping malls and high-rise buildings. The new drone system will use high resolution cameras to analyze structures for defects and potentially replace human jobs like security and delivery.

Uber is a transportation network company that offers ride-sharing, taxi, and food delivery services through a mobile app. Founded in 2009, Uber grew rapidly but faced scandals and leadership changes that slowed its growth. It is now letting go of over half a billion potential riders in Southeast Asia by selling its operations there to Grab and taking a large stake in the rival company, in an effort to recover from $4.5 billion in losses last year. This could give Grab an advantage over its rival Go-Jek in the region by acquiring UberEats.
Uber is selling its Southeast Asian business to rival Grab, giving Grab a monopoly over transportation services in the region. As part of the deal, Uber will receive a stake in Grab's profits and Grab will have an advantage with its Uber Eats food delivery service. However, some argue that having a single dominant corporation in an industry is not better for consumers than having a variety of competing companies.
