Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Operation to inspect the residences of foreigners

Post by nemo »

Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng, Minister of the Ministry of Interior, emphasizes that the Ministry of Interior will launch a large-scale operation to inspect the lives of all foreigners in Cambodia, except for diplomats.
DPM Kheng’s announcement came after the United States listed Cambodia as a Tier 3 country in terms of human trafficking.

While speaking at the closing ceremony at the Police Academy, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed his surprise at the listing given to Cambodia. He stated that Cambodia has been actively working to prevent human trafficking.

“In order to eliminate suspicions and loopholes in human trafficking, the Ministry of Interior must launch a large-scale operation to inspect the lives of all foreigners, whether in hotels, construction sites and companies, except for diplomats,” the Interior Minister said.

He stated that the plan to examine the lodgings of foreigners who came into the country is to find out whether the people entered into Cambodia to work legally or illegally and to find out if the person is a victim of human trafficking.

DPM Kheng also expressed his deep disappointment with the US State Department’s decision to blacklist Cambodia, but Cambodia remains committed to cooperating in the fight against human trafficking.

That’s nice.

Something that I was a little curious about- all these foreigners accidentally nose diving from the nearby casino- are they registered on FPCS? If so, is the address that they are registered at, say, a plush penthouse suite with 200 other potential skydivers? Is there some honesty in the treatment of migrant labour who later leave employment under dubious terms?
I suspect that a sampling of registered accommodations is going to highlight few deficiencies.

They actually started this several weeks/months ago, DoI, MoLVT & Police/Sangkat officials have been going to door to door checking passports, Visas/EOs's, Work Permits and that the landlords have registered foreign tenants/guests both with the Sangkat and on the FPCS.

Happens every 2-3 years.

The present landlord hasn’t the brains of an ox. Simple instructions sees him heading for a day out with friends instead. FPCS? Pah.
I last registered with FPCS in January, but since then it won’t let me log back in with the old details, and I’ve once again had to change my number. I guess I ought to do it…

I have a very good relationship with my local sangkat office and if I dont get a visit I will put it down to them "ticking me of their list" due to the fact they know me quite well.
