Kampong Thom: On the morning of August 1, 2026, Major General Som Sun, Commander of the Kampong Thom Military Operations Area
and Permanent Vice Chairman of the Committee for the Protection, Prevention and Suppression of Natural Resources Crimes of Kampong Thom Province, visited the joint forces for the protection, prevention and suppression of natural resources crimes at two light command posts that are currently performing their duties in the Boeung Per Wildlife Sanctuary in Sakram commune, Prasat Ballang district, Kampong Thom province.
Mr. Huot To, environmental officer and deputy head of the Laeng Command in the Choam Krabey area, and Mr. Kan Thin, environmental officer at the Laeng Command in the Phnom Prang area in Srem commune, Prasat Ballang district, reported on some important results that the Laeng Command has achieved in the past and confirmed some challenges in implementing its duties. They also proposed some problems to the Kampong Thom Provincial Committee for the Protection, Prevention and Suppression of Natural Resources Crimes and related institutions to resolve.
Lieutenant General Som Sun expressed his appreciation for all the joint forces who cooperated well in carrying out their duties under the orders of His Excellency Nuon Pharath, Provincial Governor and Chairman of the Unified Command of Kampong Thom Provincial Administration. Over the past period, our joint forces have worked hard to prevent, protect and suppress crimes. The government’s forest encroachment on land in the Boeung Per Wildlife Sanctuary has achieved excellent results, which is to be proud of, without any new encroachment, and the forest land that was encroached on in recent years has gradually grown back into natural forests.
Lieutenant General Som Sun assigned the task to all the combined forces to continue to work together to protect the forests, which are natural resources, in the Boeung Per Wildlife Sanctuary by using regular patrols to prevent the illegal logging of forests, which are natural resources, and the taking of state land as ownership again. At the same time, it is necessary to manage and protect a small area that has been illegally logged in the recent past, approximately 3 to 5 hectares in the Trapeang Ta Yas and Trapeang Kanseng areas, to ensure that the natural forests grow back for our children in the future.
On this occasion, Major General Som Sun brought some food, supplies, clean drinking water, and fuel, which were gifts from Mr. Nuon Pharath, Provincial Governor and Chairman of the Kampong Thom Provincial Unified Administrative Command, to the joint forces at the two light command posts to continue their activities in the assigned tasks to achieve more new successes.
