Deceased: Dr Beat Richner, founder of the Cambodian Kantha Bopha Children's Hospitals

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.

Dr Richner’s ashes arrive in Siem Reap
The late Dr Beat Richner’s ashes have arrived in Cambodia to be placed in a stupa in front of Jayavarman VII hospital, a branch of the Kantha Bopha Children’s hospitals, in Siem Reap province.

Dr Richner’s elder sister Annaregula Lutz brought the ashes from Zurich today.

The ashes arrived at Siem Reap international Airport, where Royal Palace Minister Kong Som Ol and government officers received them before marching in a procession to the Jayavarman VII hospital where the stupa was built to pay tribute to Dr Richner.

Hundreds of people, including students, lined the streets to watch the procession.

Ms Annaregula expressed satisfaction that her brother’s ashes would be placed in the stupa, thus fulfilling his dying wish.

She added that it is fitting for his ashes to be in Siem Reap so that all Cambodians who came to love and respect him could pay tribute.
