Khmer Times
The Khmer Times is a Cambodian English-language newspaper, launched in May 2014, and based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and owned by Malaysian national Mohan Tirugmanasam Bandam. The Khmer Times is one of a number of English language news outlets reporting on Cambodia, along with international news, for the Cambodian domestic English-speaking market, and also functions as an international portal for Cambodian sourced news and current affairs. In common with many other South-East Asian countries, the news outlet operates under press rules that discourage western style editorialisation of the news, a format viewed in the West as 'restricted'.
The newspaper has been flagged by western media outlets as being strongly pro-CPP in its reporting and editorials. The outlet is regarded in Cambodia as a journal of record for expatriate residents and English-speaking Cambodians, locally enjoying a high degree of perception as having journalistic integrity.
