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.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On February 13, 2019 an officer from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries had to use a sedative gun to shoot a monkey that bit two children at the Preah Norodom primary school on February 12, 2019.

After being tranquilized, the monkeys were sent to Tamao mountain. The children were treated at the hospital and they also received financial compensation for the attack from the Khan Daun Penh administrator.

Animals are more intelligent than many people realize. This monkey may bite little children because they are small, but would probably not bite adults because they are big.

I think the monkey should be killed. If it comes across other people in its new location, it may bite again. Particularly when you realize that rabies is common in Cambodia.

Macaques also carry a form of the herpes virus which is fatal in humans. But if you have seen kids here delighting in scaring or tormenting small animals then (assuming that's what happened) it's hardly the monkey's fault for biting them. Hardly worthy of a death sentence.

Herpes death virus is enough for me:
Kill the fucking monkey!
