Cambodia - will conduct a comprehensive inspection of foreigners?
Today, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sar Kheng, at the Ministry of Interior's conference on the summary of work in 2023 and outlook for 2024, called for cooperation between the Cambodian General Department of Immigration and the Cambodian National Police to update the latest information on foreigners in Cambodia to prevent illegal residence and crimes by foreigners in Cambodia.
Some Cambodian media interpreted this as meaning that Cambodia will conduct a comprehensive inspection of foreigners in Cambodia.
Sar Kheng explicitly stated today that the data on foreigners in Cambodia seems to be inconsistent with the actual situation.
Therefore, he requested the General Department of Immigration to strengthen this work to obtain accurate data on foreigners in Cambodia.
Sar Kheng pointed out that some foreigners in Cambodia have no jobs or occupations, and they are in hiding, waiting for opportunities to commit crimes.
Sar Kheng also said that he has observed in the past that foreigners only committed crimes against other foreigners, but he is also very worried that one day they will also commit crimes against the Cambodian people.
Implicitly, due to this sense of oppression, Cambodia must comprehensively and accurately grasp the specific data and situation of foreigners in Cambodia.
