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.

128 students stranded in Israel to be repatriated next week

“The Royal Government of Cambodia, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, has been coordinating with the Government of Israel to organise the repatriation of 128 Cambodian students who graduated from Israel and found it difficult to travel during the COVID-19 crisis,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement today.

It said with “good” cooperation between the governments of the two countries, Israel will send the Cambodian students to Phnom Penh International Airport between Monday and November 30 on a special flight that flies directly from Israel to Cambodia.

The special flight will then transport 250 other Cambodian students who have received scholarships to study in Israel.

No, it could mean the quarantine hotel where he has been staying has not been cleaned to the Covid -19 standards that are recommended. How many previous guests with Covid-19 have stayed in that hotel room.

Yes, cleaning is a possible culprit. But it could also be a false positive. It is estimated the between 2% to 3% of the PCR tests produce a false positive. This is not some conspiracy theory, it's just a fact the the technology is not perfect. It's better than false negatives!

Given the number of tests carried out here it must have occurred by now and there have been a number is bizarre positives occurring such as this case. This poor soul is probably sitting in a hospital and feeling completely ok other than being scared out of his wits and wondering what the are pumping into his body to 'cure' him. A couple of correct negatives tests will hopefully see him set free soon enough.

Most of the cases are Khmer returning but they don't need a 72 hour proof of negative. If the CPP made everyone get the test then the numbers would be way down on current.

But again this is a business opportunity. The hotels currently charging (for one person I know in day 9 of 14)$90 per day and $60 for meals. Capacity is 50 rooms multiplied by 150 multiplied by 14 = $105000 then two flights a month we have over $200000 per month.
I don't know who owns the hotels that are used but I would think they all have connections to the family or providing a dividend.
