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.

Trash Scavenger Shot With Projectile

A trash scavenger was left seriously injured in Phnom Penh’s Chamkar Mon district in the early hours of on Tuesday morning after he was apparently shot by an unidentified person in a Lexus SUV, although police said they were unsure if he was shot with a gun.

Witnesses in Toul Tompoung I commune said they heard what sounded like a gunshot before Van Sophea, the 36-year-old scavenger, fell, said commune police chief Sim Chhoeun, adding that no bullet casings were found and no one saw anyone shooting a gun.


“We don’t know what the reason was [for the attack] but it might be that he put his cart to block the street and someone got angry and shot him,” Mr. Chhoeun said. “We’re not sure whether his injuries were really because of the shooting, or from something else.”

Mr. Chhoeun said witnesses only saw a Lexus RX 300 suddenly depart the scene after the event and presumed that the assailant was in the car.

As many assholes in a Lexus that I've flipped off in Phnom Penh over the years, I feel fortunate to be alive sometimes.
