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.

Good news. Fishing cats are not extinct, but continue to survive in remote areas.
PHNOM PENH, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Fishing cats, an endangered species of predatory feline, are found for the first time in southwest Cambodia after more than a decade in absence, the Fauna & Flora International (FFI) said in a press statement on Friday.

I think i have seen this creature, but it was already dead. My villager hunted it from the forest.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
