The Current Good And Bad Cambodian News

By Zelma Hurley


It is important to track the current events in a nation you are living in as well as the world updates. The more informed you are, the more empowered you become no matter what profession or status you have. Current events can range from police reports to feature stories to science and health. There are many ways to keep yourself informed either through online, in print, or television.

Cambodia is speeding its way to economic growth. The country is performing well in the world market which makes it one of the fast developing countries in Southeast Asia. However, the Cambodian news still have a lot of negative stories to tell because of recurring social issues and some health issues that have sprung in the entry of the new year.

The good news is that tourism has grown and the industry keeps on booming. More tourists are attracted by the beauty of nature, vistas, and people. There are a lot of reasons why tourists like to stay in Cambodia. They have good food, unique styles of clothing, and friendly people.

Another great news is the anticipation of the first lady of America. The wife of Barack Obama, Michelle will be coming to the country. She will go to Japan first and then to Cambodia for the advocation of education among girls. Millions of females have stopped and dropped from school for many different reasons. And her advocacy is to encourage the governments to uphold literacy among girls.

On the health and social news, on the other hand, there is a disturbing two hundred plus cases of HIV in one district in Cambodia. It was reported that an unlicensed physician has made these citizens suffer by using and reusing infected medical equipment on the residents. This is a very striking bad story especially because the government is still finding ways to reduce the HIV cases in the country.

Still in one of the health reports, it was said that Cambodia is one of the countries that have high cases of malaria. However, researchers have found that the artemisinin, which is a drug that treats the deadly disease, has lost its effect to several patients. They have become immune to the drug. Other countries that have grown immunity to the medicine are Myanmar and India.

Agriculture, tourism, and commerce are the main sources of economy in the country. Although it can be said that they are progressing and developing, there are still traces of poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy. It is extremely difficult to eradicate these social problems completely despite the collective efforts of the the government and the private sectors.

The problems spring over and over again and there is a need for citizen cooperation. The individual citizens have to be aware of their roles in the society. Being informed is one of the best ways to be involved and cooperate. The news serve as an information and communication channel that will reach other corners of the world.

These issues can be overcome by Cambodia by means of cooperation, communication, and awareness. It is just a matter of time and they will become more developed. With the help of the United Nations and some powerful allies, they will certainly overcome these problems. They need to focus in education, health, and good governance.
