Aeon 2 Suicide

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.

There's a certain level of emotional imbalance when it comes to many (not all) Khmers. A tendency to take the most drastic action possible in any perceived crisis. That action can be actively aimed at the person who they perceive to have been the root of the perceived crisis, or passively aimed at them by ending their own life in the belief that the rest of your life, in terms of feeling of guilty, will also be ruined.

Khmers can be all smiles and fun-loving on the surface, but there's a very dark, emotionally unstable undercurrent swirling around just below the surface of too many of them.

This isn't a direct comment on this particular situation, I have no idea why she threw herself off a building. I'm speaking very much in general terms, so in that regard, RIP.

I am genuinely curious: Does believing in reincarnation lower Khmers' the regard for life/safety as opposed to foreigners who don't?

Having been married to my Khmer wife for 6 years I can say that your assessment is eerily accurate. "The most dramatic action possible" seems to be the default position.
