We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists.

Quote - presumed to be smuggled from Myanmar laboratories via Laos to Cambodia, in order to be forwarded on to another destination.
Why is that presumed, and by who? Why would it not be presumed to be used in the country it was to be intercepted.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

It's easier to save face and pretend their people do no wrong.

A presumption of smuggling exists unless and until that claimed presumption is proven on the balance of probabilities and beyond a reasonable doubt. Journalists and media platforms who play it safe will err on the side of caution by avoiding outright assumptions of guilt or information yet to be confirmed as true and factually accurate.
