A senior official at the Ministry of National Defence said an order issued by the General Command of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) which forbids anyone from using the military to serve the private sector is a preventive measure aimed at strengthening discipline and maintaining order.
Ministry spokesperson Chhum Socheat said General Vong Pisen, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces issued the directive last Tuesday.
Pisen’s regulation states: “Commanders of all types of troops and directors of institutions and schools under the supervision of the General Command of the [RCAF] must not allow their forces to be taken to work as guards at companies, factories or private enterprises or to serve private individuals.
“Do not wear uniforms or bring weapons into restaurants, shops or entertainment clubs except during operations.”

Re: HE issues ultimatum to tycoons
Eternal tourist to the KOW’s reading of the tea leaves...
Iron Man is slowly preparing for the transfer of power to his sons.
Making sure that all potential rivals have access to either money or the military/police, not both.
Ensure that no one builds a power base behind his back, hence, the end of illegal logging, etc. especially those building power beyond his grasp, like selling to Vietnam.
Releasing environmentalists keeps his rivals in check, a win-win.
There was documentary made about Cambodia just before the national election where the CRNP rose to power. In the documentary, Iron Man was musing about a new Cambodia without Iron Man, possibly without the CPP in charge. Apparently changed his mind in a big way after the CRNP rose to challenge the CPP.
Only time will tell.

Until now, the pm has done exactly what the Cambodian kings always had to do.
They have rarely had the absolute power to rule the country entirely in their own right.
The feudal/patronage system relies on the "barons" to keep order in their respective areas/sectors of the kingdom.
In return the king has to keep them happy with lucrative franchises.
Maybe now, with backing from a powerful friend, the pm feels confident enough to take back some of the power and privileges of the barons. To centralise it.
This could explain that the current crackdowns in various sectors seems to be more than the usual window dressing.
That could in fact be a very beneficial aspect to current shifts.
PS This is exactly what Thaksin did when he felt strong enough. (and why he suffered the kickback from the elites)
He particularly hit hardest at the dope and timber barons in the north that he had relied upon for his rise to power.

Why do they call him “HE”? Genuinely curious
Cambodia: where money can buy you absolutely anything except intelligence.
