Case for the CEO News-hound.

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.

Most won't be surprised. Discussion here on Khmer "journalism":
https://cambodiaexpatsonline.com/post591 ... sts#p59125

When you read any news articles in Cambodia you have to sift the information available through several filters. I used to think that with enough decoding I could probably obtain something close to the truth. But the best I can do here is to come up with several possible versions, all unverifiable.

So my idea in the OP was to set out my possible interpretations of the CD article here and see if anyone thought that one version was more plausible than the others. (All versions involve dishonesty and extortion Poster X - it's just a matter of who's doing what to who.)

I agree, the west is WAY more moral and has such great ethics!

I mean, who could possibly question NATO's motives in Iraq...or Afghanistan...or Central America, or...the list is too long.

But yes, Khmers are amoral.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

We are all sinners, brother. Some are just more adept than others.

Usually we have ageing sexpats looking down on TEFLers, or dodgy property developers, self-proclaimed wankers at the top of their game (only losers choose Milan, Paris, Hong Kong or New York), who are here because they're making so much money, and they disagree violently when you tell them that Cambodia on their CV is like people finding Baywatch intellectually stimulating in TV terms.

Tell us about your fantastic career, Poster seX...and how you won that promotion to the world's premier destination for successful people. :lol:

Right-wing schmuck, by the sound of it. :P
