Three nests of Siamese crocodile eggs – one of the world’s most critically endangered species – were discovered in 2025 in the Chhay Reap area of Sre Ambel district, Koh Kong province, and in the O’Som area of the Cardamom Mountains National Park. Conservationists hope the eggs which were fertilised will hatch in the upcoming month of August. The Forestry Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and local communities, discovered three nests containing a total of 43 eggs within the Cardamom Mountains National Park…

The Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation is moving forward with efforts to introduce the “Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) Evaluation Criteria” framework. A June 24 workshop aimed to raise awareness about the new standardised evaluation framework among stakeholders from government, academia and the private sector. The new policy, which is supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), is expected to play a crucial role in accelerating the achievement of national strategic priorities. “The Science, Technology and Innovation Evaluation Criteria were initiated to serve as a reference for public and private institutions in creating their own guidelines for evaluating…
Thailand’s military, ultra-nationalists and politicians have ignited a dangerous cycle of aggression and deception in the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict, culminating on June 23, 2025, by wielding fallacious arguments — red herrings, contradictions, ad hominem attacks, strawman distortions and double standards — to falsely pin blame on Cambodia. As debaters from the Institute for International Studies and Public Policy (IISPP) Debate Society, we are committed to equipping debaters with the tools to dismantle such flawed reasoning through evidence-based discourse. This crisis, sparked by Thailand’s unprovoked killing of an unarmed Cambodian soldier on May 28, lays bare Thailand’s internal power struggles, with…
The Ministry of Environment has ordered the temporary suspension of production activities at Cambodian Noble Taste Food Co., Ltd. and Kubon (Cambodia) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., following their failure to comply with environmental laws and ministry directives to stop polluting public water sources. On June 25, the Ministry stated that both companies had continued to discharge untreated wastewater, affecting the Kampong Smach and Phaav streams in Samaki, Teuk Laak, and Teuk Thla communes of Prey Nop district, in Preah Sihanouk province. The decision to temporarily shut down their operations was made through separate official letters signed recently by Minister of Environment…
In the latest chapter of Thai-Cambodian border tensions, Thai authorities have once again demonstrated their skill — not in diplomacy or regional cooperation — but in the art of deception. While Thailand’s Border Command Centre (Sor Bor Tor Kor) has publicly declared that all checkpoints along the Cambodian border remain open, the reality on the ground tells a starkly different story. Reports from multiple provinces, including Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey, confirm that several checkpoints have been unilaterally and quietly closed by Thai forces. Commerce has stalled, workers have been stranded and transportation halted — yet Bangkok continues to insist…
Thailand’s persistent and unlawful claims over Cambodian territory go far beyond a simple border dispute — they reflect a deeper political dysfunction that fuels internal instability, strains relations with neighbouring countries and endangers regional peace. By rejecting international norms and resorting to force and propaganda to justify its territorial ambitions, Thailand has entrenched a cycle of confrontation that weakens its own democratic institutions and disrupts the broader stability of Southeast Asia. Despite clear international principles affirming Cambodia’s sovereignty over its recognised territory, Thailand continues to assert unlawful claims through the use of unilateral maps and military pressure. These actions blatantly…

The provincial court reported that the 342.38745 kilogrammes of powdered drugs and 33,562 pills that were destroyed…
US President Donald Trump now finds himself trapped between two sources of humiliation. If he backs down from his latest round of tariff aggression — sweeping tariff on imports from more than 180 countries — he will reinforce the market narrative that has branded him Supreme TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out), a label that mocks both the overreach of his trade war and his reluctance to face its consequences. Yet if he refuses to reverse course, he risks an even more damaging blow: a constitutional defeat at the hands of the US Supreme Court. This confrontation stems from a landmark…
The Ministry of Health has issued a renewed warning to the public about the ongoing threat of bird flu, after detecting two cases within five days — one of which has resulted in the death of a Svay Rieng man. The ministry reported that a second case has been detected in a 41-year-old woman living in Lbeuk village, Donkeo commune, Puok district, Siem Reap province. The National Institute of Public Health confirmed that the woman tested positive for the H5N1 strain of the avian influenza virus on June 23. “The patient presented with symptoms of high fever, coughing, fatigue and…
In recent months, Thai officials have grown increasingly vocal in accusing neighbouring Cambodia of being a “global hub of crime”, with Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra making the outrageous — and entirely unfounded — claim that “40% of Cambodia’s GDP comes from call centres [scams].” This reckless narrative not only distorts reality but reeks of political deflection. Before Thailand lectures others on crime, it should take a long, hard look at the state of its own house. A country drowning in scandals From fraudulent investment schemes to rampant drug trafficking, Thailand faces deep-rooted and systemic criminal challenges. According to the UN…
