Say a prayer to the calf with two heads

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.

Say a prayer to the calf with two heads

19-20 December 2017 RIP
The birth of a deformed calf is seen as a sign.

Curious neighbors all want to have a look at the strange creature and say a prayer for some good luck. The calf only lived for three hours, and then it was laid out on a mat in the customary fashion for the dead and was honored by a burial ceremony at the pagoda attended by monks.

It doesn't have two heads, it has two bodies. It's like a conjoined-twin calf. The thing is dead already, most of those deformed creatures die soon after birth. WTF are people into praying with stuff like that? :?
Silence, exile, and cunning.
