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.

Let me disparage our boys in blue a bit:
Apparently he wasn't too happy he was born!
All that training too!
If only they showed each other their licenses to carry first, or, there was a clearly visible sign stating "No Firearms at Birthday Parties".
Wow that's a light calibre if that's point blank essentially, because the muzzle flash cauterized the wound, or the heat of the bullet more likely; no blood! no bandage! no bruising. apparent mobility.
Come to think of it, it looks like a single shot entered and exited shallow (front to back), assuming that's a nine. Lucky guy.
He should tattoo five nines there!

If that was attempted murder it’s a shockingly incompetent one.

Why do Cambodian officers always take their guns to parties ?
I'm sure I read somewhere that off-duty officers are supposed to leave their firearms at home and not shoot up every picnic or party that they attend.
:?

Easy rule: Do not go on the piss with guys with firearms, even if they are officers, or generals, or whatever.
