Original report from Phnom Penh
26 June 2009
Cambodia is losing $50 million a year to drug abuse, the prime minister said Wednesday, warning of future damage to Cambodian society.
Hun Sen made his remarks to mark the National Day Against Drugs, in Phnom Penh. Cambodia is plagued with methamphetamine production and use, especially in the capital.
If each drug user spent $3 per day on drugs, $50 million per year is lost, Hun Sen said, adding that Cambodia could become “dangerous” if action isn’t taken.
“From now on, all relevant authorities, from village chiefs to provincial governors, should take action against drugs,” he said.
Ke Kim Yann, head of the government’s counter-drug authority, said drugs were a problem the world over.
Some drugs are locally produced; in 2007, police detained three men and seized three tons of drug-making equipment and supplies from a facility in Kampong Speu province.
More drugs are supplied out of the Golden Triangle region around Thailand, Burma and Laos, and are bought through Cambodia in Koh Kong province on the Thai border.
Cambodia has become a popular transit point for drugs, following a crackdown in Thailand in 2002.

Why passing a cock has to do with this discussion?
Thoughts and ideas that are extraneous to the discussion should be jettisoned.

Hun Xen self take the drug!!!
My post was at 12:59 PM,
I say again, your PM Hun Sen is crazy. He tells people to stay away from drug I could understand that, but he is addicted to drug himself it's nicotine. Does not your crazy PM know that nicotine is the most dangerous or deadly drug? Yes it is. If it isn't those smokers would have stopped easily. They can't because they are addicted to drug nicotine.
how can they will stop using drug, if the prime minister is smoking everywhere???
Hun Sen announcement is stupid do not listen to him. Lips services?
see eyes mee Hun dog pa pourn vea pheak vea jos jos or pro houng doj khe jos pheak vea oy prohoung mok vea sor sor pleu pleur kmean dong a vi te.
"Camodia is losing $50 million dollars a year to drug abuse"
LMFAO! Cambodia don't have $50 million dollars. Much less, to a drug abuse? The PM and his adopted son PPU is indeed stupid. LOL
