A Kampong Cham market stall should have come with a serious caveat emptor. A man agreed to rent out the much-sought-after commodity not realising that in doing so he had incited the jealousies of his neighbour, who had also wanted the same stall.

While the victorious purchaser enjoyed Saturday evening on his porch, four fellow villagers, including the would-be stall buyer, paid a brief visit, stabbing the man before running away. The victim was carted to the hospital and police rounded up the culprits. KOH SANTEPHEAP
