Alcohol Sales Banned/No dining-in - PP

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.

What’s your basis for saying that Chinese casinos are open for drinking and gambling?
What I said was...
In the meantime, casinos are open for business in Sihanoukville, so is it with or without alcohol? That was my query. AFAIK, Chinese casinos are open for gambling and drinking...
As I said "AFAIK" (as far as I know) casinos in Sihanoukville are open for business, so I suppose there are people gambling. In light of the new regulations on the sale of alcohol in Sihanoukville, I was expressing my scepticism that they will not also be drinking. However, it's a question, not a statement, and I also said that I have not been to a casino or a brothel recently, so cannot say from personal experience.

Also, more of "AFAIK" on casinos - the casinos which have not been touched by Covid infections are still open in SHV, Nagaworld casino in Phnom Penh is closed temporarily (officially), and I think the casinos in Svay Rieng on the Vietnamese border are also closed now. (Due to Covid outbreak). No idea what's happening in Poipet or elsewhere.
If anyone has better info, I'm all ears.

I can answer this for you from a news poster's POV.
People are going to jail for posting "fake news" on the internet. Sometimes this is not "fake" news, but it's news that is posted by one government department, and then another department or a higher-up person disagrees with what is announced, so then it is called fake news. Or it is posted by social media bloggers before the official announcement (without an official decree), and that can also be called a crime of fake news or incitement.
If you post the official decree along with the "news item", then that is the official decree, and the news outlet is (hopefully) not responsible if the decree is corrected or denied by other officials later on.
Hope that clears things up for you.
I'm young, slim and handsome.

Can I get imprisoned for that piece of fake news?

How often do you get a smack in the face I wonder :)

I am surprised after reading just 2 of your posts, that you haven't been banned yet. Mods must be busy at the minute
