Khmer Riche - the Cypriot citizenship rush

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.

Published 5 hours ago

NICOSIA - Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho has a passport from Cyprus, a newspaper on the island has reported, even as Malaysian police said on Monday (Nov 4) that they are keen to bring him home to face justice over the 1MDB scandal.

Cyprus is an island nation in the Mediterranean, located to the south of Turkey and west of Lebanon.

Low, who is widely known as Jho Low, obtained the Cypriot passport four years ago, the daily Politis, which is published in Cyprus, reported on Sunday.
