Life-Threatening Shock for Sihanoukville Construction Worker

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.

Not only too close, Big, but actually touched electrical power lines. Then electrical power flowed through the man's body and caused the life-threat. These people should be trained in the basics of electrical safety before being allowed to work on potentially lethal electrical power equipment. They also need to overcome the notion that it's OK to be dead!

New China City has enough crime to require a fourth correctional court to be built?

I thought the comrades were all peace loving, gentle, gamblers.

Training costs money whilst these country bumpkins are easily replaced.

Yes, there are another 10 country bumpkins standing in line to replace any country bumpkin that is electrocuted. Cambodia has its own logic, economy, and mentality. It's OK to be dead!
