Bang, Bang, Policeman Pulls His Pistol at Drinking Party

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.

Can't believe police here are into drinking...
how did they even become police in the first place? No code of conduct...

I thought cops were poorly paid in the Kingdom of Wonder.
Justice Police (bottle-green uniform with green and yellow scales badge) or Flying Tigers (more military green uniform with tiger badge). No self-respecting cop uses a K-59 anymore, and the elite units get paid much more than, for example, traffic cops. They also have plenty more opportunities to "enrich themselves".
