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.

Vietnam's president has passed away

Post by fax »

A bit late now unfortunately but surprisingly I have not seen it reported anywhere, that Vietnam's president Tran Dai Quang passed away from illness on Friday aged 61, a little over a month before his 62nd birthday. Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh has become Vietnam's first female president until the National Assembly elects its new leader.

Vietnam will hold a state funeral and national mourning this week with flags flown half-staff and entertainment activities will be canceled during the two-day funeral that starts Wednesday, the government announced.
