Apparently another building collapsed last night which left several people dead. Just heard it on ABC radio (a radio station where listeners call in with news, usually they're spot on).

Looks like the Cambodian government is silent. Some info here:

Yes, my bad. Heard the new at 6am, hardly any info then on mobile sites, did a brief search here before posting but overlooked the items.

Anyway, RIP to the victims. It's sad and unnecessary.
Also puts construction in the KoW in a broader perspective. If you see one bug in the kitchen you expect more, but if you see two, you know for sure it's infested.

Rescue operation continues as death toll rises to 9
Hundreds of rescue workers along with dozens of machineries today continue to comb the debris of the collapsed seven-storey building in Kep province’s Kep city to rescue more victims as death toll reportedly rose to nine.

Captain Lim Sam Oeun, commune police officer, said at the scene that more bodies are believed to be under the rubble, noting that about 40 workers had stayed in the building before it collapsed.

Government is giving each dead persons family $50,000, injured $10,000

a sign of Cambodia that a dead worker will make more for his family by getting killed than working his whole life
But the loss of a dad, mom, son, daughter, brother, sister is priceless
