Phnom Penh: General Vong Pisen, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, has sent a warning message in advance that if any force colludes or conspires with those who commit fishing crimes, they will be punished according to the law.
On the occasion of chairing a meeting to review the progress of work on suppressing fishing crimes on the Tonle Sap Lake on the morning of June 29, 2026, General Vong Pisen said that the results of the work achieved over the past 18 months on suppressing fishing crimes, the joint forces, with the military as the head of the Joint Command for Suppressing Fishing Crimes, and territorial authorities, have actively cooperated with citizens to patrol, arrest criminals, seize and destroy illegal fishing gear in many cases, leading the public to praise and celebrate the results of preventing and suppressing fishing crimes until now, with fish stocks returning.
However, with this appreciation, the Commander-in-Chief emphasized that there should be no involvement or protection by any authority or force with criminals. If there is found to be collusion or conspiracy, military discipline and penalties in force must be implemented. Some illegal fishing gear should not be used for the suppression mission, but should be destroyed immediately.
