It's common in Cambodian websites.

Ironically, the death toll from the 2013 floods in Cambodia was 168. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_South ... ian_floods

As said before, chinese and sino-khmer are quite superstitious with numbers kinda like people with rabbit's feet or believing in Friday 13th.
The numbers are like related to the "feng shui".
Anyway for 168 (yao liu ba) means roughly the "way to fortune" (or gold road or whatever ...)

Chinky superstition. Numbers also represented things, not just numbers.
1 - Man
6 - The Road/Path to
8 - Gold/Good fortune
168 - The man walks the road to wealth

It's much simpler than that. Man (geng) doesnt even sound like 1, (yi) in Mandarin.
168 is an even number, a composite number, an abundant number, and an idoneal number.
There are 168 primes less than 1000. 168 is the product of the first two perfect numbers.
168 is the order of the group PSL, the second smallest nonabelian simple group.
From Hurwitz's automorphisms theorem, 168 is the maximum possible number of automorphisms of a genus 3 Riemann surface, this maximum being achieved by the Klein quartic, whose symmetry group is PSL. The Fano plane has 168 symmetries.
168 is the sum of four consecutive prime numbers: 37 + 41 + 43 + 47.
It represents perfect symmetry in Chinese, and therefore prosperity. Chinese is an abstract language.
