Breaking: HE resigns

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.

HE, He’s (confusing pronouns again) probably checking the internet chatter and watching the various paid up members, to see what politicking is going on. All those undisclosed mis-use of authority escapades being checked to see who is loyal (to Man, Son & Family) and who needs taking around the back of the bike sheds for a chat.

If there’s a chance at political conformity, then August may remain. It’s a change of figurehead. Aesthetics. Any hint at irregularity (khmer version, not international) and there may be some adjustment.

Excellent timing, maybe Cambodia will have a new PM before Thailand. I admire the smoothness.

I'd say thats a given 100%
A new vote for prime minister had been scheduled for Thursday, but was postponed to see if the Constitutional Court would rule on whether it was legal to deny Pita an opportunity to be renominated, while Pheu Thai struggled to seek backing of its nominee.

Since HE is the title that comes with being PM, can you really say HE resigns?
Shouldn't it either be the current HE resigns or HE (Name of current title holder) resigns?

Hmm confusing times indeed. Maybe we should use HE(HS) and HE(HM)

which now I've typed it looks suspiciousy like those God awful pronoun goons with their HE/HIS, HE/HIM.
