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.

I guess they hire the drivers more for being fleet of foot than good drivers. With all the people involved in the stop he still managed to get out of the car and dive and weave his way through them all to freedom.

Should sign him up to the Cambodian Track and Field team.

The competent authorities were probably in a rush to see what was for dinner.
And who cares about the driver when you get to keep the car ?

Just as a matter of interest , what happens to all these cars and mottos and phones cash and goodies etc that are seized ?

Do the winners divide the spoils? If so how far up would it go?

Do they keep good mottos as rewards? Would there be a sliding scale depending on seniority?

Is seized cash shared ? Houses built, ?

Timber sold on to dealers? Or houses built?

Or is this one of those "Elephant in the room" questions?

I have a relative I haven't seen in years. He was in, let's say, one of the security forces. He sometimes gave motos that had been confiscated from crims away to family members. Also if they raided a wildlife restaurant we might get some of the snake meat or whatever. As for timber, there's a well-known tycoon who has the rights to buy all confiscated timber.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
