Veteran Actor Rithy Sary Lives in Poverty

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.

PHNOM PEMH--Actor Rithy Sary, who rose to fame in the 90s, is now 80 years old, sick and living in poverty.
Living in Battambang province with his second wife and eldest daughter, he has been completely dependent on his children since leaving the film industry in 2002.

Sary is a veteran of the industry from the 90s, working for Prohm Meanchey Productions in Phnom Penh. He decided to leave the industry in 2002 at the age of 61 after the industry fell into crisis, returning to the province to live with his wife and children.
