We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

Poetic quote from the deceased.( Phnom Penh Post.)
Cambodian politics has the head of a chicken and the arse of a duck. They speak about democracy and multiple political parties, but they practise communist ways.
Former Prime Minister Pen Sovann, who died on Saturday at age 80

Pen Sovann, Former Prime Minister, Dead at 80

by Ben Sokhean and Zsombor Peter | October 31, 2016 | អានជាភាសាខ្មែរ

Pen Sovann, Cambodia’s first prime minister after the Khmer Rouge and to some a “father” of the rebel forces that helped topple them, died on Saturday at the age of 80 after a storied if rocky political life.

In a statement on Sunday, the opposition CNRP, which he joined in 2012, said he died at his home in Takeo province just after 7 p.m. on Saturday following a long fight with high blood pressure and diabetes. He suffered a stroke last year that left the right side of his body paralyzed.

One was shot, the other died after a long illness and at an old age. No comparison. I knew exactly who he was too. Do you know who Chan Si was?
