The Crackdown Continues on Cambodian People Playing Cards

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.

They all look as guilty as hell, but everyone wants to see the pic of the evidence, money, cards , phones , pens , paper and empty plates that once were piled high with pork and rice.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Cambodia News (Kandal): The police cracked down on gambling at the private house of a man named Bin Ei, in Prek Kampongdor village, Koh Thom district, Kandal. All the suspects ran away to escape.

The police received the information from the neighbors, so they went to the scene immediately, but the suspects had already run away. They are now searching for the house owner and the other gamblers.
The police confiscated 35 cards, four pairs of shoes, money 1,200 riels, a blanket, a can, and a scarf.
This is one of a number of posts in this thread which are completely mental.

That said, apparently a girl who used to work on 51 street lost $200,000 of her husband's money playing cards in Australia a few years back.

Maybe they could get the girls to stop drinking themselves to an early death as well, and taking out loans that will ruin their lives because they saw some things in a shop they thought look pretty.

I would have thought the authorities would prefer people playing cards to watching peaceful protests on facebook and getting ideas into their heads
