PREY VENG - Prey Veng province military police and the Wildlife Alliance on Friday night conducted a raid upon a truck transporting hundreds of kilograms of illegal wildlife destined for Vietnam. Khem Vuthyravong, a wildlife rapid rescue supervisor with Wildlife Alliance, said the NGO received a tip about the haul and asked military police to help carry out the raid in Kampong Trabek district.
Eng Hy, spokesman for the National Military Police, wrote on his Facebook that one mandarin duck, three wild ducks, 60 doves and 221 kilograms of snakes were seized.

The spokesman obviously does not know his animals. No Mandarin ducks in Cambodia....

The term "Mandarin" duck was put in opposition to wild ducks. My neighbor raises what locals call "Chinese" ducks, quite domesticated. Perhaps that is another word for the same fowl
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Fair enough. These are Mandarin Ducks and there are no records of it ever having made it to Cambodia:

Well the ducks in that picture look nothing like my neighbor's ducks, the Cambodian word for the domesticated "Chinese duck" is tia kompa.
"kompa" is not Khmer for Mandarin. So, you are indeed a man who knows his ducks

What I usually see in Cambodia are either domesticated Muscovy ducks (originally from South America):
The other common duck is American Pekin or American Peking duck. Its ancestory is the Mallard and whilst originally from China, it was bred to its current form in the USA.
