Gunshots Fired at Police by Drug Traffickers in Koh Pich

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.

Cambodia seems to have the highest number of police and security that I’ve seen anywhere else.

However, most seem to be unable to do what 1 police officer in the West does on an everyday basis.

I fear the PRC gangsters will eventually overrun this Pearl of the Orient.

Or it will provide the PRC the excuse to move their entire security apparatus to the Kingdom of Wonder.
From what I have seen of 'security guards' outside buildings here, they look barely capable of dressing themselves and operating a whistle and a plastic chair. I don't want to see them with guns.
