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.

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.

The boss fires a shot at his chef “for making a mistake” then boss then drives off and the chef goes straight back to work.
Is a ‘warning shot’ the Khmer equivalent of a verbal warning? Perhaps a shot in the leg or shoulder for a final warning, and one in the back of the head for instant dismissal.
Only in Cambodia?

So the competent authorities don’t arrest the owner, the one who did the attacking and fired the shot, and instead shut down the club where the victims all depend on their jobs to make a living?

Are they punishing the right people?

But if the owner goes to jail then the place closes anyway. He's the one who pays the staff after all.

You’d hope the income pays the wages of the staff, otherwise it’s not really a business.
