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.

Video floating around facebook of some ceremonial practice of killing some tied up buffalo, with a lot of comments appearing to call out for the practice to be banned for its cruelty, due to the way the buffalo are butchered alive

I don't think it is Buddha Beliefs. Is it Brama or Hindus? Is it Bochea Yanh?

how the hell is it any different from bull fighting? btw it is not buddhism, it is a local culture, buddhism is offering of flowers, incense and candles.

It's got nothing to do with Buddhism, it's an ancient animist ritual practiced by many hill-tribes. It's done fairly selectively as a sacrifice when bad luck seems to loom, it''s not something people do every dinner time or anything. Still it is very savage and cruel.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
