Australian Save The Children social worker LAURA KNIGHT Dies in a Traffic Accident in Takeo, 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.

(Traffic rant below)

First it's Kok Channnthy, Cambodia Space Project's lead singer, then Prince Ranariddh's wife (for the second time!), and now it's an NGO worker who campaigned for women's rights.

What's going on, here, Cambodia?

"The best leave Cambodia," they say.

All lost in senseless traffic accidents, seemingly, in the line of duty. One, after a gig. The other, with her family. And this one, in an NGO vehicle.

Catch-22 or negligence? The Catch-22 is this: if you fix the roads, people will drive faster, the economy will improve, and people will crash horrifically.

Negligence? A hit lead singer crooning classics, a wife of a prince, and a charity worker for women. All seem to be high-caliber women, no dummies in life ...

Whoever's fault it is, it ought to be brought up in the election. Bad for business, I tell you. Bad.

Hey Stroppy it sounds like you don't believe that issue will bring the voters out of the woodwork.

Save the Children Statement on Tragic Road Traffic Accident in Cambodia

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (June 24, 2018) — In the wake of the tragic road traffic accident in Takeo, Cambodia, which claimed the lives of four Save the Children staff members, Carolyn Miles, President & CEO of Save the Children said:

"It is with a great deal of sadness that Save the Children can confirm that four of our staff members lost their lives in a tragic road traffic accident that took place in Cambodia this past Friday, June 22. A further four of our staff were seriously injured and are in the hospital receiving treatment.

The loss of these individuals is hard to comprehend and the condolences of Save the Children staff worldwide go out to the families, friends and co-workers of all those who have been affected. Our primary concern is for our staff and their families and we are providing support to help them through this incredibly difficult time. We are ensuring that all of our team members get the best medical treatment and care possible. We are also supporting our staff on the ground, many of whom have been devastated by this tragic and sudden loss.

Save the Children in Cambodia reaches over three million children through our work in Education, Child Protection, Child Rights, and Health and Nutrition. We are incredibly proud of the work all of our staff in Cambodia do to make a real difference to the lives of millions of children and we are deeply saddened by this tragic incident.

We will do everything we can to support the grieving families, friends and colleagues in this tragedy. At present we have no further information to release and ask that the victim’s families and our staff are given privacy at this deeply upsetting time."

Save the Children gives children in the United States and around the world a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We invest in childhood — every day, in times of crisis and for our future. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Lack of due diligence then. Asset management.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I don't see how it can be still called an election, given the removal of the opposition.
