(Sporadic E DX 2018) Cambodia FM radio station spotted in Malaysia?

Back to 15th June 2018 during Hari Raya Aidilfitri festival, when I drove from Sabak Bernam to Bagan Datuk in the evening, I attempted to receive Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz in Sabak Bernam.

Surprisingly, I caught an unknown language radio station on FM 95.0MHz, it is definitely not Thai language, but likely Khmer language that I don't understand totally.

Hence, FM 95.0MHz that I caught in Sabak Bernam was Radio Bayon from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. According to Asiawaves.net, FM 95.0MHz operates with 24kW power transmitter. The signal that transmit from Cambodia to Malaysia was considered as Sporadic E propagation.
