CAAI News Media; Cambodia in Pictures

Cambodia's economy, one of the fastest growing in Southeast Asia just two years ago, will probably contract by about 2.75 percent this year, hit hard by the slowdown in the United States, the IMF said on Wednesday. "The global economic crisis is having a larger impact on Cambodia's economy than previously anticipated," David Cowen, deputy division chief for the International Monetary Fund's Asia and Pacific Department, told a news conference.

Some dramatic accident photos and it's very sad for the deceased motorcyclist. This kind of accident that involves large vehicles and motorcycles happens too frequently in Cambodia due to the chaos of traffics - nobody follows any type of traffic laws, poor and small roads, poorly maintained vehicles, and just the shear volume of traffic.
