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.

2 Tons of Cows' Feet Stopped at Vietnam Border

Cambodia News (Svay Rieng): On September 28, 2020, the Competitive Consumer Protection Officer and fraud suppression in Svay Rieng busted 2 tons of cow feet being smuggled into Cambodia through the Bavet border.

According to the request of the customs officer and Svay Rieng Provincial Excise, they checked on a load of cow feet that were imported from Vietnam through the Bavet border. The officers took those cow feet to a mini-laboratory to search for the chemical substance that harms people's health. The officers didn't find any formalin, but the 2 tons of cows' feet in 120 boxes didn't have the necessary documents identifying the source of the feet or an import letter, so they impounded the illegal load.

The officers then prepared the case, and destroyed the cows' feet at the landfill in Svay Rieng.

Or more accurately dumped them, bags and all, in the nearby swamp to go rotten and pollute the area. Well done chaps! 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.

"Bone marrow is one of humanity's first super foods, eaten by our early ancestors and full of protein, calcium, phosphate and magnesium. Cow foot stew is also revered as an aphrodisiac and recommended as a hangover cure. "

Aphrodisiac AND hangover cure ? I guess the dump swamp could be nicknamed "the chilling fields " ?
