Bringing the house down; expat detained for questioning

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.

He live next to a vault or something?

Yeah... can you 'shake' a building with the tools pictured in the 'evidence' picture? I don't see a jackhammer anywhere! To be taken away for questioning leads me to believe there's something more to the story than has been reported.
You could be next.

Expat threatens arson against local man

A hot-tempered expat was arrested in the capital on Wednesday for allegedly threatening to burn down a local’s house.

After getting reports about the man’s fiery rage in Chamkarmon district, the boys in blue came calling.

They made the arrest and found the man to be in the country without a passport, so he was forwarded on to the Immigration Department for a grilling.

it's kind of hard to reconcile railing against the tiniest hint of racism (Jap/Brit/Yank = debatable) with making snide comments about people's appearances. I mean, isn't racism about exactly that? Having a go at people because of their colour/ appearance?

Good thing we have people with the physique of Apollo on hand to set the standard.
Racism is a bit of a bad name really. before that we called it Colour discrimination which is probably more accurate in most cases but peope still tell irish jokes, Black guys still call me honky and each other the "N" word, Dark skinned Africans are looked down on by lighter skinned ones etc etc.
