Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. 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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

An Australian man nicknamed “King Kong” was sentenced to two years in prison, including one year of time served, and fined about $990 after being found guilty of distributing methamphetamine by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday.

Alan Rolf Jensen, 49, was arrested on December 23 in Daun Penh district’s Wat Phnom commune after police raided his rented apartment and found a small packet of methamphetamine along with small amounts of opium and marijuana, according to Presiding Judge Keo Mony.

Newsworthy enough for the news back in Oz. https://www.news.com.au/world/asia/auss ... 965e20767c Typically ill-informed and factually shaky e.g. Khan Daun Penh being "a popular tourist bar and restaurant strip" and staying at the Walkabout. Anyway, didn't know the bloke but had seen him around Area 51. RIP

He did time for some indiscretions. I dont believe he ever dealt and dont think he used a lot. But, hey, the police know more than me, ask his girlfriend.

Dealing meth to tourists is an"indiscretion"? :stir:
“He was an active drug distributor who frequently sold drugs to foreign people at guesthouses, nightclubs and restaurants along the riverside in Khan Daun Penh district,” Colonel Khen Sovann, deputy commander of Phnom Penh municipal police said at the time.

After his 2013 arrest, Jensen spent a weekend in a cell at Prey Sar prison on the outskirts of the capital after police found cannabis, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia at his home.

A military police officer said Jensen “used to bring drugs to sell to other foreigners in bars and nightclubs”.
