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.

JJ's owner, John Girvan passed today, Sihanoukville

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

A poster on K440 reports that longterm Sihanoukville expat John Girvan, the owner of JJ's breakfast place in downtown Sihanoukville, passed this morning. He had been ill for several days, refusing to go to hospital for treatment, and passed shortly after he was taken to hospital today, 5 April.

Condolences to all his family and friends in Sihanoukville and elsewhere.
RIP.

Super nice guy, although I didn't frequent his new locale much. Hopefully Jackie comes back to help sort things out. RIP
