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.

I've been patiently awaiting another meat cleaver story. The meat cleaver seems to be the handy weapon of choice for many Cambodians, and indeed it can do plenty of damage in the right (wrong?) hands. I've not seen a serrated one like that before, very cute. And I'm happy this was just a drug addled rampage in which nobody innocent was hurt.

It’s made from an old industrial bandsaw blade, the “serrations” are the teeth of the saw blade, even the handle is made from the same material rolled into a cone, clever bit of recycling, shame about the way it was misused.
