Article on the resignations and dismissals in the SEA Globe. Not much new information or news.
“I got fired by the new owner…because I’m the editor-in-chief and I allowed the printing of the independent story based on journalistic integrity,” Kimsong told Southeast Asia Globe shortly after he was dismissed."

Looks like the former Cambodia Daily is trying to recruit some of the Phnom Penh Post staff to its online news business.

The interesting thing about all this is perhaps that they didnt just shut it down.
I love how the statement on the sale was:
“I sold this business because it’s a terrible business and there’s no way to succeed and make money with it.”

Interesting article here about malicious code being place on the Post website targeting Licadho.

PHNOM PENH: The new owner of Cambodia's beleaguered Phnom Penh Post on Friday (May 18) denied links to the country's authoritarian government and defended a stormy takeover which saw journalists resign en masse over fears for editorial independence.
The May 5 sale of the English-language daily to Malaysian investor Siva Kumar G sent a shudder of dread through advocates of free expression in the kingdom, where premier Hun Sen has crushed all criticism in the run-up to July elections.
The buyer also owns Asia PR, a company that once worked for Cambodia's government, stirring alarm over apparent cosy links with the ruling party.
Hun Sen has dismantled the fragile democracy's once-vibrant media scene over the past year, with the Post one of few remaining watchdogs in the graft-riddled country.
The paper's main rival, the Cambodia Daily, was among media closed last year as part of a wider crackdown on critics ahead of 2018 polls that Hun Sen is determined to win.
In a combative press conference Friday, Siva said he took over Asia PR in 2011, long after any business it might have had with Hun Sen's administration, insisting no ties remain.
"I wish to clarify there is no government involvement," he said of the sale, admitting that it had gotten off to a "rocky start".
Citing his own background as a journalist by training, Siva said the sale was a "simple and honest business venture" and that he had been "demonised by certain journalists at the Phnom Penh Post".
Most of the foreign staff members resigned after refusing to take down an article about the sale while the Cambodian editor-in-chief was fired.
Siva, whose full name is Sivakumar Ganapathy, hinted on Friday at new restructuring plans, saying he had appointed a transition team.

Well, looks like Shiva’s not getting off to a good start. He pissed of the gov by referring to Cambodia as a “third world nation”.
I would like to say that Khmer440.com respects and adheres to best practices and terminology in international relations theory, understanding that “third world” is a derogatory and outdated term. The Kingdom of Cambodia is a developing nation, one that has impressively reached a lower-middle income status.
