A Cambodian Man Hangs Himself as He Was Upset for Being Poor

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.

It is really interesting. It has to do more with superstition. Many Cambodians don't believe that people hung themselves, because they were upset or depressed. Stay tune. The article will come out soon haha.
i look forward to learning about this superstition Samouth, i wait patiently :)

I think the effects of being hopelessly broke are completely misunderstood by 99% of westerners.

They have been way too comfortable most of their lives.

Some exploit the desperate via high-interest loans, and for these scumbags there should be a special level in hell..

Oh but some of the scumbags are expats, so that makes them respectable
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)
