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.

If he was pulled off the bike and had to wait for the police to arrive. how come his face is still in one piece? Or is it not advisable to teach these scum a lesson while waiting for the boys in brown to arrive? **asking for a friend**

Because he's the boss ?
He's probably got a cot there somewhere and just woke up.

Have we established conclusively that that person is male? It may be a liberated female...

Such sexism!

Such sexism!
We should probably start banning pronouns that suggest male or female on CEO. Using gender-neutral pronouns is the least we can do to get the people we offended by using the word "lesbian" in story titles last week off our tits.
