Frenchman Was Hit By a Mob of Tuk Tuk Drivers

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.

The article isn't vague, the language used is quite clear and unambiguous IMO, and the overall tone of the original is quite neutral not assigning blame to either party.
I'm not attacking CEOCambodiaNews, it's just that my style of translation is more literal and I always try (probably due to my level) to be more word for word and faithful to the original.

Anyways I don't really have the time at the moment so probably shouldn't have commented.

Keep up the good work CEOCambodiaNews.

Well, I guess that is clear enough.

We can all agree on that, at least. Image

Don't quite know why this thread is being resurrected, but since it has been, I'll say it again: CEOCambodiaNews' translation wasn't faithful to the original.

I think the only choices we have left at this point are Hong Kong or Singapore.
