American MICHAEL BERG (AmCham Board Member) Caught on Video Allegedly Trying to Bribe Police in Cambodia

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.

Wait, so her MoD vaccinate cert is fake?

If I was a business owner I'd be throwing out unvaxed antivaxers with fake papers too.
If you have any doubts about someone's card here, just get them to link it to their StopCovid check in app while you wait.

Pseudonomdeplume Is probably one of Joel or Michaels fanboys sticking up for his buddy, no doubt in my mind the threats of beating from Joel are true, he’s got history for it and coupled with his overly inflated ego and the fact he walks round like he owns bassac lane it’s no surprise. Long time coming, never had any dealings with Michael but I’ve never heard anything other than negative things so can’t comment on that

There is a review (5 stars, what else?) on google that matches the pattern, and another one:

The only restaurant dedicated to fish and chips in Phnom Penh.

I’m glad they got it right, I’m Australian so I wasn’t aware of the mushy pea trend but I enjoyed them.

I had a couple of drinks also, the aperol spritz paired perfectly with the chilled open air vibe

Will be back

Excellent fish & chips, although I prefer the fish sandwiches. Some great daily specials as well, along with ice cold beer and tequila.

Ms Galler who seems to be highly unpopular with parties who seem to be highly interested has her own review.

I was verbally abused by the manager and two co owners. I was not asked to show my vaccine paperwork until I sat down and ordered my food. Once my food arrived I was verbally abused by the manager who falsely accused me of being unvaccinated, though his staff never asked me or my companion for any proof of vaccination when I entered or before allowing me to order food and have a drink. The manager and the owners were not wearing masks and shouting in my face. If they are so concerned about covid and following the regulations, it's strange to not wear a mask. One rule for them and another for the customers. I agreed to show my vaccine paper but that I would choose to leave afterwards and without paying the bill because the manager was abusive. One of the owners then accused me of having fake vaccine papers and loudly announced it to the entire bar that my name was not on the paper. Once outside I was then threatened by the owners. I was told that "twenty people would come to beat me" for being unvaccinated and I would be sorry. I called the police. The police verified my papers. Absolutely disgusting experience for the sake of some fish tacos.


It is a bit tiring that people try to make Ms Galler the issue, she is not. The images are the issue, it was not Ms Galler's hand.

What an embarrassing affair and a waste of a good policeman's time.

Strange that you would consider a business owner allegedly threatening to have 20 people beat up anyone, let alone a woman, wonder if you believe that to truly be a waste of police time or if you're just being patriotic and sticking up for your fellow aussie?

It is at the owners' discretion to determine the rules for any guest wishing to dine in their establishment.

She used to work around Riverside, last spotted in Ostro on 136 and before that at All Sports on 172. Nice arse.

(Translated by Google) The cove serves excellent fish & chips in a friendly atmosphere and always friendly and smiling service. Highly recommended for dining on site or having a drink with friends!

So you think allegedly threatening to have her beaten up by 20 people is acceptable? .....[Mod edit: no need for name calling]

Considering you only joined this site today I can only assume you are one of Ashley Galler's fanboys? Maybe you're just being patriotic and sticking up for your fellow Brit? Or you are actually the woman in question.
