"And again, we need to strengthen control of foreigners who come to Cambodia. … They need to come with a valid visa and work permit to work in a company or enterprise in Cambodia to avoid falling into various scams, fraud, torture, and violence!" he said.

The Royal Government is currently taking various measures to crack down on illegal gambling in Cambodia so that it does not develop into other crimes and impact the strengthening of social justice.

DPM Sar Kheng also added that the Ministry will follow the procedures in accordance with the law by controlling places where illegal gambling has taken place, as well as inspecting suspected target locations.

"Our procedure is, as a matter of principle, how we can rescue the victims and then punish those involved and close those illegal businesses," he said.
