Police Tell Penniless French Backpacker Chick to Stop Begging in the Streets of Kampot

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.

Can't call them darling or you might catch a sexual harassment charge. What the fuck is going on? What should I say to be politically correct in 2017?
Sheila - you call one of 'em Sheila. Example - Oi, sheila, you wanna beer?
Plural form, Sheilas. Example - Oi, youse sheilas wanna beer?

Although there's a need for disambiguity in that last example as it's unclear whether you're offering a collective of sheilas one beer for the group, or one beer each. It might just be easier to stick with a single goonie or two on this Hills for a herd of sheilas.
