Cambodia's Quarantine and Lockdown Escapees (Regular Updates)

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.

Cambodia News (Takeo): On April 18, 2021, at 4:12 pm, the Royal Gendarmerie arrested 4 men who drank and played loud music in Angreang village, Somrong city, Takeo.
The 4 men were identified as Jib Tony, 28 years old, Jib Dareach, 14 years old, Pen Sokhorn, 26 years old, and Kheav Jin, 45 years old. The police confiscated the speaker system.
Swift sentencing. No more "education", but tough measures by the authorities ...
In Takeo, provincial governor Ouch Phea said four young men were sentenced to one year in prison and fined $250 each under the Covid-19 Law for loud parties at their residences in violation of health measures.

“They played loudspeakers at their homes and disrupted their neighbors and opposed the government’s rules that ban gatherings, drinking and dancing and other things, and [require people] to stay at home.”

Provincial military police arrested the four on Sunday in Samraong district, Phea said.

“We have already sentenced them,” he said.

I wonder what the sentence will be for the guys who were in uniform and authority.

Well.... the police have the big sticks, which could be the negotiating tool of choice for the louder than brutally necessary music at times.

There’s a little mentioned region of the world that tried prohibition for a spell. I gather it wasn’t altogether popular.

Worst thing is that sitting outside drinking beer Khmer-style is less likely to spread this virus than everyone hiding indoors to party so they don't get spotted by the cops. Everyone's off work and it's the New Year season. :beer1:
But that sets a very bad example for everyone else.

I know this is completely random, but yesterday, while out going for essential food supplies, I readjusted my mask and the string snapped. They really don't work with just the one string.

Spare mask is now on my going out 'checklist'. In the current situation, the less attention you draw to yourself when out of your home the better, and no mask is a big draw.

Funny you mentioned this was discussing this yesterday, best thing don't throw it away stick it in your pocket, if stopped on the way to by another mask you have your evidence with you.
