Whiskey wielded as friendship on the rocks, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

A capital construction worker’s flippant reply to a repayment request earned him a face full of broken glass on Wednesday evening.

A security guard was drinking with some buddies, when he spotted the victim and reminded him of his outstanding $5 debt, which the man cheekily brushed off.
