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.

It's obvious, not until they don't have another dollar. Until then, expect nothing from HE.

(CEO's auto conversion of HE to HE is pitiful.)

Sihanoukville Police Chief, Chuon Narin, is a busy man
Why does he have a woody phallic symbol on his desk?
It is some kind of traditional Khmer skull cracking club. Sometimes seen in "law enforcer' type ceremonial roles.
I believe the "staff" that the skippers of the om touks use for giving commands and to lead the attack are a derivation.
sorry, not a great photo but the staff/clubs are similarly flattened at the busy end, but longer.
I thought they were stylised paddles but was informed they were clubs.

I believe summary skull cracking by the kings law enforcement officers is a traditional, deeply ingrained, "motif" in Cambodian culture.
My theory is - that is why it was the KR's preferred method of execution, not so much to "save bullets".

There are plenty of free ways to kill a person - using this traditional Khmer method reinforced the "law enforcement" nature of the deed.
"You have transgressed against the King/Angkar". the highest crime.

He seems to be staring at it very intensely...
He is probably thinking about today's development of this phallic symbol and where it has led. But what does the police force have to fight the new and upcoming gun crimes. It would take a brave or stupid man to bash someone over the head with a stick who was armed with a loaded gun.
It's been seen that hand guns are available to buy on the internet these days, surprising that the authorities have not clamped down on the way that criminals can illegally arm themselves, for it would be a good start to prevent this type of crime.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
