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.

U Htin Kyaw of ruling party elected as president of Myanmar

NAY PYI TAW, March 15 (Xinhua) — U Htin Kyaw of Myanmar's ruling National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aung San Suu Kyi, won the presidential election Tuesday with the highest number of votes through secret voting, becoming the country's new president for the next five-year term.

U Htin Kyaw won against the other two presidential candidates - U Myint Swe from the military and U Henry Van Htee Yu from the NLD by vote 360:213:79 out of 652 MPs who cast their votes.

U Htin Kyaw becomes the second president of Myanmar after the military returned power to the civilian in 2011 and the 9th president since the country's independence in 1948.

U Htin Kyaw, a non-parliament representative, is also a non-military and pure civilian president.

According to the voting result, U Myint Swe becomes First Vice President, while U Henry Van Htee Yu Second Vice President.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
