A must read 30 years of HE

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.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

I spoke with someone from UNTAG who told me that he was paid %150/day back in the day.

How was a salary like this justified at that time? $4500 a month?

Seems to me like they whine about HE, but can someone explain these exorbitant salaries?

Just tick the box where it says '' I'm a CPP supporter '' and the link should work.

After reading that report, I just wish I could hear Hok Lundy's side of the story.

The $150 was just their per diem, their salaries were on top of that.
