PRIME Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday threatened to close agriculture tycoon Mong Reththy's dry port if outstanding taxes are not paid.
The prime minister also pressed for a broader crackdown on illegal goods passing through the country's southern border checkpoints, which is depriving the government of taxes.
"Don't blame me if I close [the port], leaving employees jobless," he said, during a ceremony in Sihanoukville.
"Today, I ask that authorities help the government to collect taxes from all sea-crossing points, especially Preah Sihanouk province. We have to use this occasion to collect taxes," he said.
He encouraged customs officers, police and the navy to cooperate to curb smuggling and other illegal businesses.
"The authorities have to crack down on traders that don't pay their taxes," he said.
He also warned customs officers and traders to stop colluding to dodge taxes.
Agriculture tycoon Mong Reththy endorsed the premier's pronouncement and urged authorities to scrupulously collect taxes on goods crossing through the southern borders.
"I want all ports to cooperate to collect tax on imported goods ... to take this money to develop our country," he said.
However, he would not provide figures on the volume of goods passing through his facility.
Minister of Economy and Finance Keat Chhon said that tax income has increased this month after falling for the past two months due to declining imports.

Mong Reththy,
You'll be next on the line (after former Gen. Kim Yan).
The fact of the matter is that you have too much land.
See, what I tell you and everyone, the PM will get rid all of you one by one.
Depuis combien de temps que ce OkGNA a pratiqué ce commerce unique et seulement au Cambodge Personne ne peut me rensigner
Mr. PM, how does my friend owe, pal?
You're one of the mother of all fuck ups.

"how does my friend owe, pal?"
Learn to put a sentence together properly first before you want to insult someone, illiterate lol.
Don't worry Hun Asshole,
we won't blame u for this one. But we khmer will blame you for many other things that is undeniable.
The world will judges you too just like pol pot regime.
Look like cambodia in unstable soon or later.
Dear all:
Please don't upset the big guy (Ah Jkuot Hun Sen), because he'll kill himself.
He's fucking crazy right now, please piss this asshole off, again, he'll kill himself.
May be Mong Rithy doesn't pay enough royal fee. Ah Hun Sen bank account is drying up too due to world economy in crisis. He needs money to pay for his mistresses and paid for killings.
when the wickeds can plunder the country they share each other, not to the poor, the fruit of their forfeit. In time of depression they will surely eat each other to the last.
God protect his people.
no money from taxes = no money to skim off, no money to pay his sidekicks and bloated government=danger to hun sen losing his grip on power!
close the port . we'll see where your next meal is coming from hun sen!
Ah Kwack don't be stupid look at the law you may not need to close the port since it own tax you may just let the goverment take over the port!
Since Ah Mong Rithhy never lawfully pay for the land in the first place!
This land has no legetime law, only one man who know all and can do all , which weg the country will be move is egal!
God bless Cambodian People.
well, until you walk in his shoes, you will understand why! in a country of uncooperative and ineffective leaders, only the strong one do all the enforcement, so the way i see it, mr. hun sen is presently seem like the only one who cares enough to enforce the law. bottom line, if you read or hear the both sides of the story, they must pay their tariff taxes. that's was the reason of his threat to close mr. mong rithy's dry port. there is no excuses whatsoever e.g. import was down or whatever. please think and try to understand as there are reason behind everything action a person act. remember, the prime minister is a public figure, if he fails to enforce the law, other critics might accuse him of failure or being ineffective, so politically speaking he would naturally choose the side of the overwhelmingly majority, not the minority side, you know! please be educated to you too can understand this important motive. of course, it's not a personal decision, it's in the national interest, of course! god bless cambodia.
Mong Rethy must paid Tax! i agree with Hun Sen, he's right about this one...
7:05 I agree with u.
KHMER
How can a fucking private individual own a port in such a small country? There should only be national ports in a country the size of Cambodia.
