Cambodian News And Current Updates

By Zelma Hurley


News and current affairs are a way of keeping people informed of the current status of their country economically, politically, socially, and in terms of health. The information they get can be used in schools or simply as an addition to knowledge stored. In short, information can make the lives of the citizens better somehow.

Cambodia is accelerating economically these days. They have beautiful spots that have contributed to their booming tourism industry. They also have information agencies that keep them up to date with what is happening with the world. Cambodian news is a mixture of local and international news delivered either in English or in their native tongue.

With their rich culture, they can entice a lot of tourists to come to the place to discover more of their people and vistas. It is considered as one of the most visited countries in Southeast Asia. Because of this, the state of the economy of the country has started to improve more and more.

In the headlines of most of their newspapers and news networks is the coming of the first lady of America. Reportedly, Michelle Obama will visit Japan and Cambodia in hopes of sending a message to the people about the importance of education especially for girls. The number of uneducated and illiterate girls has become very alarming.

Another striking information in Cambodia is the increasing HIV cases in a small town. Reportedly, an unlicensed physician has injected and reused some medical equipment which are contaminated with the virus. There had been more than two hundred cases recorded related to the incident. This is a sad irony because the government and the health agencies are making extensive efforts to prevent the spread of the virus.

Another report is about the case of malaria. It has been reported that the victims of the disease have become immune to the drug called artemisinin. They are still finding ways how to cure the patients who have malaria. The same case is experienced in some areas of Myanmar and India.

It is no doubt that the country is making a lot of economic progress these days. But the presence of social problems like poverty and unemployment still threaten the advancement of Cambodia into the world market. These issues, including illiteracy need to be solved with utmost focus by government and non government associations.

These problems are recurring and are similar to other developing and underdeveloped countries. But there are also pretty good ones that bring hope and inspiration to the Cambodians. They have funny and feature stories that people can read daily in newspapers and in the internet.

Social issues still exist and they are seen in the reports everyday. However, the efforts of the government and non government sectors have doubled. And with the help of the UN and some powerful and developed countries like America, positive and beneficial changes are on their way.
