It Stinks! Phnom Penh Locals Rebel Against Factory Waste Water

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.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia Breaking News: Residents in the village of Stung Meanchey 3, in Phnom Penh, are worried about health risks due to suspicious red water flowing on to the street. They say that reddish chemicals have been pouring from a paper factory all the way down the street, almost every day, without any intervention by the local authorities.

People are concerned that the red inky water could have a negative impact on the people living in the area, and the smell of alcohol fills the air and makes it difficult to live in the vicinity. Families are concerned for their children's health.
The residents would like to request the relevant ministries or local authorities to come to inspect the factory and oblige the owners to clean up their act. For the moment nothing is being done, and local people are suffering from the pollution.
