Police Urged to Monitor Social Media "Fake News"

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.

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): On the morning of March 29, 2021, the administrative director of Calmette Hospital told the media by telephone about a fake voice message that broadcast that the hospital is exploding with Covid-19 cases, which led to the closure of the hospital. However, this is not true, and the hospital is operating as usual.

Dr. Mao Rasy, Administrative Director of Calmette Hospital, stated that the voicemail was confusing the population, and now the hospital is complaining to the professional officer to find the owner of the voicemail to be punished.
Why would they close the hospital because of a rumor? Unless the rumor is true of course.
The hospital is not closed. Someone was spreading a rumor to say that it was closed, but it is NOT closed.
In this case, the government is right to stamp out rumors.
I see. The wording made it sound like the fake message caused the hospital to be closed
However, this is not true, and the hospital is operating as usual.

Nothing confusing about that.

There's a comma in there that shouldn't be there which makes the sentence mean " fake voice massage that led to the hospital being closed". Pretty obvious to most english readers that it was written in a confusing way that could be read in two ways.

Man Arrested for False Video Concerning Phnom Penh Lockdown
Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): According to the Phnom Penh Municipal Police, on March 30, 2021, at 12:40pm, the police of the Anti-Criminal Security Technology Bureau summoned a male suspect named Van Rachana, 26 years old, living in Khan Por Senchey, Phnom Penh.

He was detained as the owner of a Tiktok account named Rachana BK, who posted a video saying a state of emergency has closed the roads in and out of Phnom Penh, which is false information.

Authorities say that there is no policy to close the entrance to Phnom Penh, and the young man has admitted in public that he posted false information: after educating him on the incorrectness of posting such false news, the authorities allowed him to return home.

The latest fake news circulating on Cambodian social media is the alleged death of the National Police Chief. He is, however, fit and well, according to official sources.

The authorities are determined to stamp out such social media rumors, which may alarm the population.

Whenever they're prepared for their Stasi-esque measures to be revealed to the Western media.

Maybe they can clear him now because he was only a week early in his post? :plus1:
