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.

Other sources say that the man had been taking drugs when he decided to hide in the drain, but then he got stuck and couldn't get out without help.

I listened to his beats when he was still underground. He sold out after making it in the front page of papers.

UPDATE
It seems that the man is of unsound mind and he was not down there for seven days, but probably for less than 24 hours (which might have seemed like 7 days to him.) Someone has said that they saw him begging at a nearby petrol station the day before he was rescued. His wife came to the police station to get him and take him home. She said that her husband suffers from mental illness.

Literal translation from MCPN news:
Phnom Penh: Dangkor authorities together with the police force and the people's strength, have helped save a man who has no brain that was stuck in a lung and was seen in a small hole.
Immediately, this man screamed to the police that he was stuck in the lung for the past 7 days. The above surprise happened at 2 pm on December 19, 2020 along the road number 217 called Chamkar Doung street, in Sangkat Dong, Khan Dongkor, Phnom Penh.

Trapped in a sewer - reminds me of a short term consultancy gig I did in downtown Yangon about 6 years ago. That was one stinking town for sure.
