This would never happen here.

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.

Why,, , because we have a Japanese government that will help us build storm water systems to get rid of all the flood waters.

This Asian development is quite a joke really. Just cowboy capitalism with no real planning. Trouble is, it is all built from bloody concrete and so some poor fucker is going to have to smash it all up to start again at some point. In China and Cambodia that will probably be by hand as it's cheaper.

I was out on Ohkna Mueng Rithy today during the rain, Most of that brand new street was flooding.

Flooding hits Phnom Penh following heavy weekend rains
Mon, 19 September 2016
Niem Chheng

Heavy rains descended on Phnom Penh on Saturday night, flooding many streets and even some homes throughout the capital.

Chan Yutha, spokesman for the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, called the water level “immense” yesterday.

“The most flooded area was from Tuol Tompoung neighbourhood to Chak Angre, with the rain water level at 93 millimetres,” Yutha said, adding that while more rain is expected, the department would update its weekly weather forecast today.
