Cambodian husband lands in hot water after calling wife lazy

Phnom Penh - A Cambodian man who called his wife lazy and set her up with a business to keep her occupied, suffered extensive burns when she poured a pot of boiling water on him while he napped, a newspaper reported Tuesday. Rasmei Kampuchea reported neighbours as saying Prom Cheoun, 35, of south-eastern Prey Veng province had grown frustrated with his wife's card-playing sessions and bought her some vegetables to sell at the market to keep her busy. But the wife, Oung Saman, 29, allegedly decided to prove he was a hypocrite and waited until he was snoozing at noon before pouring the boiling vat over him, the paper said. 'He tried to alter her behavior so she had no time to go out or just hang around,' the paper quoted the neighbour as saying. It said Cheoun received extensive burns. His wife left and was on the run from police.
