Bad karma for pagoda thieves.

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.

Bad karma for pagoda thieves.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

But good karma for the police who caught the thieves and gave ALL the stolen money back to the pagoda.

The Venerable Sarun said Soeung Puthy, a 21-year-old student at the pagoda, and Yorng Phally, a 37-year-old cook there, broke into his room during a rainstorm and stole about $700 and 9.5 million riel (about $2,375) that had been collected during the Pchum Ben holiday last month. They were saving the money to finish repairs on the pagoda, the Venerable Sarun said.

Good thing they are Buddhist. Karma will get them in the end!


If they were Christian, God would forgive them and it would be business as usual tomorrow.
