Raids All Over Phnom Penh in Gambling Crackdown

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.

They are so strict with there people who play a bit of cards usually for a little reil wining's, cock fighting and so on. I know that also for some it brings crime and missery into the family life.
But if it is so, being so strict, although this is the biggest sweep I have seen. But why not go the full hog and at least get rid of some casino's.

Gambling Employees Rush to Escape

Cambodia Breaking News, (Phnom Penh): According to the Khmer news outlet CEN, at 4:30pm this afternoon, on 19 September, many Vietnamese and Chinese people, together with some Cambodians, panicked and ran out of a condominium building, located along Street 371, Sala K Building, Sangkat Stung Meanchey III, Khan Meanchey, Phnom Penh.

It appears that the Sala K condominium was being used for quite some time to conduct online gambling business, where foreigners were employed illegally, but until now, the Meanchey authorities have turned a blind eye to this. In fact, before the authorities could visit to investigate the illegal gambling in the condominium, the foreign and Cambodian workers left the building and ran away. They had heard about the Prime Minister's announcement to crack down on all gambling, and they were frightened of being arrested. Local people were surprised to see so many foreigners running out of the building.

Don't disagree with you Tommie, but to close them would stop much of the crime that is taking place.
