Caleb Maddocks is an Australian citizen who has lived in Cambodia for decades after first arriving with his family in Siem Reap province in 1992.

Still living in the same village today, Mr Maddocks yearns to become a Cambodian citizen, but has settled for work as a local security guard as a way to contribute to the community.

Caleb Maddocks is an Australian national living in Siem Reap province’s Siem Reap city, where he has lived over two decades and now works as a security guard in Kantrak village.

Mr Maddocks, 30, says he first came to live in Cambodia in 1992, when his family uprooted their lives and settled down in the village, which is part of Svay Dangkum commune.

“My opinion is that I support Caleb and his family to become Cambodian citizens, if they wanted to, because they have helped Cambodians a lot for a long time now,” Mr Hav says, while noting that the decision remains up to the government.
