FIishery administration officials were reportedly slashed with a knife and beaten during a raid on a Vietnamese fishing boat found deep inside Cambodian territory.
According to local newspaper Nokorwat News, the two government officials had to jump in the sea to escape after being attacked during an operation to stop a Vietnamese vessel fishing illegally near Polovai Island in Preah Sihanouk province on Monday.
The officials, it was reported, captured a boat containing seven fishermen. But when they ordered the captain to take it to a port, 47-year-old Cambodian official Som Darapoc was knifed while his colleague, 48-year-old Nuch Puthreary, was beaten with a stick.
The attack forced them to flee for their lives, according to the newspaper, while the boat returned to Vietnamese waters.
Nao Thuok, director of Fishery Administration, confirmed yesterday that the men had been injured after a scuffle between fishery officials and Vietnamese fishermen. One of the officials, he said, was still being treated at Phnom Penh’s Calmette Hospital.
Nao Thuok was not available to comment further but it was reported that Som Darapoc received five stitches for his knife wounds.
Duong Sam Ath, chief of Fishery Administration at Preah Sihanouk province, denied that the officials came from his province. “Maybe the officials are from other units, but my officials are fine,” he said yesterday.
An employee at the Vietnamese Consular General in Preah Sihanouk province said “I don’t know, ask my colleague” when asked for comment by reporters yesterday.
Le Minh Ngoc, spokesman for the Vietnamese embassy in Phnom Penh, said yesterday that he had no information on the incident.
Chum Nith, coordinator of Fisheries Action Coalition Team based in Preah Sihanouk province, said he had no information.

Only fucking stupid Cambodian Leaders allow Yuon foreigners to murder their own people inside their own country, no government in any countries on this planet would be that stupid and fucking afraid of Yuon like our stupid government.
Since our government that stupid.
Why don't we[Cambodian] people rise up and start protect ourselves and turn against every Yuon people in our country and begin committing violence and do everything necessary to protect ourselves, our families, our sovereignty. We[Cambodian] people must do something soon, before it is too late.
Why don't they put that illegally vietnamese in the cage? The came to our country illegally and destroyed our great lake! We must kick their ass...
Those illegally vietnamese living on the Lake must move out of Boeung Tonle Sap Lake, because they polluted the Lake with their shits! their trashes! their toxic chemicals!
The only chance we can kicks all of the dogs Yuon out from Cambodian. First we must get rid of this usless regimes CPP first then eveything will getting better if we stupid keeps allow this useless regimes holding power longer our country and people will never get prosperity.
I caught a giant catfish last year in Tonle Sap Lake, the damn fish kept complaint to me that he've been eating vietnamese shit for serveral century...He getting sick of that SHITs!!!!!!!!!
Why only two unarmed officials boarded the Viet boat? There should be many armed officials to board this boat, arrest all these illegal Viet fishermen and send them to court. This is the proper procedure.

Slashed people then ran away, hmmm; Can't conclude anything until investigating things carefully. One thing I would like to spot out: Watch out for commie chinese's trap to make cambodian and vietnamese hate each other, if things turned as planned the commie chinese can get away with what they are doing right now in the south east asia seas is killing anyone who is not chinese fishing in this area, then turned the whole south east asian seas rich in fish and oil into under commie chinese's control.
Pretenting to be Vietnmese fishermen doing violence to cambodian is not not hard to do at all, just a fishing boat with appropriate flag together with fake ID's and a crew trained to speak Vietnmese; cheap trap but very effective enough to do the big job that can cause people of two countries hate each other then wars followed. Commie chinese are grinning since they don't have to use a bullet but get a big victory. Watch out people ! what else the commie chinese can't do even helping polpot regime in genociding its own people in the past. I don't think Vietnamese is not that cruel, but commie chinese will.
