Preah Sihanouk Governor Mang Sineth said Cambodia’s government was firmly committed to eliminating online scam crime to protect the country’s international reputation and image.
According to the report, he spoke on the morning of March 24, 2026, at Setheachand Centre in Sihanoukville during a commemoration of the 2025 December 12 National Anti-Human Trafficking Day. The event, themed “Together for no human trafficking and no online scams,” was chaired by Provincial Council Chairman Vong Phanat and Governor Mang Sineth.
The governor praised anti-trafficking committees at all levels and law enforcement personnel for their efforts to combat crime and rescue victims.
He set four priorities: strengthen officials’ capacity and improve departmental working methods; cooperate closely with development partners and civil society on annual plans; measure results clearly each month, quarter and year; and manage migration safely at the local level while creating domestic jobs to reduce risky migration.
Mang Sineth called on monks, authorities, businesses, young people and the public to oppose all forms of trafficking, particularly in the digital era, and improve technology safety awareness to protect individuals and society from exploitation and other crimes.
Deputy Governor Mak Samnang reported on the 12 months of 2025, saying the secretariat conducted 2,583 outreach activities and public forums on sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of women and children, risky irregular migration, prevention of domestic violence, eliminating drug use, sexual health and hygiene, and the safe village and commune policy.
The secretariat also continued working with authorities and partner organisations to prevent trafficking, expose brokers’ recruitment tactics and strengthen local officers’ knowledge and capacity to tackle human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
