Sex workers busted at Wat Phnom, again. Wat the...

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.

Another forum claims they were arrested as "pimps". Makes more sense?

I forgot that appart from having their pic taken as evidence the DP coppers are doing a 'good' job, stealing all their money from them, and probably getting them to phone a friend or a relative for more, they won't be released in themorning.
They will most likely end up at the rehabillitation center for a week or more's re- education.

I wonder what form the instruction takes?
Hours and hours of Khmer decency and virtue classes where they're told that are very bad women and should be ashamed of themselves for letting the image of Khmer decency and virtue down? Lmao
If that's not adding insult to injury.

I seem to remember a hooker telling me once that they wanted $40 to not be sent to the center. She was picked up and taken to the center. Next time she said she will pay the $40 bucks, so it must be bad.

They could well be mama- sans, right age and looks for it, but they could also just be hookers or mothers that have accrued debt. It does say they were pimped. The mind boggles.

I don't think so. At the night market where I live, loads of clothes stalls have, and this is no joke, t shirts with "God Hates Figs" written on them.
Might of been a typo, but I'm guessing they sell well. Must admit I chuckled when I first saw them.

no its to do with a chapter in Mathew: 11, 12, 14 if i remember rightly, hold on ill ask google...

sorry it was
Mark 11: 12-14
12. The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
and
Mark 11: 20-25
20. In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23. “Truly[d] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
