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.

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On November 25, 2020, at 2:30 pm, a man smashed a statue in Preah Ang Dorngkeu Shrine, in front of the Royal palace, Preah Sisovath road, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh.

The suspect, Lou Kimsou, a 27-year-old man, went to the Preah Ang Dorngkeu shrine, and he did the sampeah (wai) through the window. Then, he climbed on the window to go inside, and he started to damage the statue, hitting it with a hammer.

Suddenly, a man named Has Soeun, a worker, saw what the suspect was doing, so he shouted for help. Some people came running, and together they restrained the suspect and grabbed his hammer.
He was taken to Chey Chumneas police station for questioning. The motive for the attack remains unclear.
