Woman Almost Murdered Over 36,500 Riel Debt

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.

Since I could never pay back the loan, I would probably feel like inviting the person that loaned me the money for a dark walk in a banana plantation with my machete. :assasin:

To be fair, the guy might well have only borrowed 20,000 riel originally, and the rest is the interest payment that piles up each week or month. That might make you want to reach for a machete.
