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.

NGOs want apology over mural’s erasure
Tue, 22 December 2015
Sen David

Nine NGOs yesterday demanded that Phnom Penh authorities publicly apologise for painting over a huge mural of a seamstress on the capital’s White Building last week.

The organisations, including women’s rights, LGBT and pro-transparency groups, said that the mural’s removal hurt the portrait subject’s feelings and, in a broader sense, affected the government’s push towards stronger gender equality.

“The painting shows the job of a woman who puts effort in sewing to support her family,” said Thyda Khus, the director of gender equality watchdog Silaka. “It is very meaningful to the [subject] . . . We need the authorities to say sorry in public.”

More likely that a ''fire'' will damage it beyond repair meaning it will need to be torn down.
