(Reuters photo)PHNOM PENH: The Cambodian government on Friday raised "doubt over the accuracy" of Malaysia's health testing for its coronavirus diagnosis in the case of a US woman who flew to Kuala Lumpur after being allowed to disembark from a cruise ship in Cambodia. Prime Minister Hun Sen told his cabinet members, "Today, justice is given to Cambodia and all the passengers on the ship." The ship departed Hong Kong on Feb 1 for a 14-day cruise that was to end in Japan. However, the Japanese government denied entry based on suspicions that one of the passengers was infected with the virus.
