Phnom Penh - A police operation in the Cambodian capital nabbed 20,000 methamphetamine tablets, or more than 2 kilos of the drug, local media reported Monday. Khmer-language newspaper Koh Santepheap quoted deputy Phnom Penh police chief Reach Sokhon as saying the accused drug courier, Nai Thai, 33, had confessed to possession and implicated a second woman, Put Nailhy, 48, as the owner of the drugs.

The paper quoted Sokhon as saying the bust, one of the largest to date of the highly addictive drug, took two months to carry out.

Cambodia has a massive problem with the cheap and addictive drug, nicknamed ya ba, which enables people to work long hours, and police are now battling local producers as well as imports from neighbouring nations.

The fabric of Cambodian culture is rotten to the core under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave leadership!

In most advance countries, drug dealers exist in many poorer neighborhoods and the only way out of poverty for the poor is to sell drug! In this case, Cambodia is still a poorer country regardless of the claim by AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave that Cambodia is advancing economically that dirt poor Cambodian people are better off than before!

AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave has no vision of the future! Cambodia deserves a brand new system to put Cambodia on the right path to become a civilized nation! Please no more of AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave system!

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A PERFECT COUPLE WHO JUST MISSED THE PAYMENTS IN WHICH THEY HAD STIPULATED IN THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACT.

SORRY, THIS IS HOW EVERYTHIN MUST OPERATE IN OUR COUNTRY.
