The numbers are far less comparing to Australia
It true statistically, but I doubt the Cambodian statistics are correct. If the Cambodian statistics are as efficient as in Australia the numbers of death would have been higher than in Australia or somewhere else. In Cambodia, if someone died in the countryside, no one will know the cause of death.
