Broke journo couldn’t even cover KTV bill

A journalist was arrested in Siem Reap on Tuesday because he didn’t have enough money to cover his karaoke bill.

The journo partied with his girlfriend until 4am, when the girlfriend asked the waitress for the bill.

Before it arrived, the girlfriend vanished, leaving her man with not enough money to pay the $23.75.

The karaoke joint’s owner called the cops on the journalist, who promised that he would pay back his debt.
