The inflated ranks of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces are set to swell further still following a recent round of promotions that minted more than 120 new generals, and elevated dozens more.

Defence Ministry spokesman Chhum Socheat was unavailable to comment yesterday on the mass advancements. Defence Minister Tea Banh said he was “busy”. There are thought to be more than 2,000 generals in RCAF, though the total number has never been released...

They operate an almost feudal system if government. I can only imagine what people must think that are sent here to work with them.

The rest of the PPP article reads:
In 2011, Defence Minister Tea Banh was forced to freeze the handing out of general’s stars, conceding there was a gap between some senior officer’s rank and their age and experience.
The discrepancies also complicated cooperation with foreign militaries, he acknowledged, with some Cambodian officers lacking the experience of their rank equivalents from other countries.
“The result is a loss of prestige for the military from an international perspective as it indicates a lack of professionalism,” said Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace research fellow Kevin Nauen of Cambodia’s bloated upper ranks.
“But in the national context, it functions well to ensure overlap of military and party interests. Such promotions are clearly a way to reward loyalty and cultivate support.”

If there was a change of government after the 2018 I could see big problems in trying to get any thing done.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

1 The Royal Navy now has 2 ships for every Admiral
2 Cambodia ought to reinstitute Orders of Nobility:
Duke of Poipet / Marquis of Anlong Veng and so on ...
Sold discreetly (like James VI of Scotland as he rode south to become James I of England,) this would be
a real revenue-earner
