Ivory, pangolin scales seized at PP Dry Port

Phnom Penh Post | 19 December 2016

A haul of elephant ivory and pangolin scales stuffed in what officials estimated to be “one or two” pieces of timber was found in a container at a shipping yard – to which it had been transported – in the capital’s Por Sen Chey district on Saturday.

According to Te Sokmuny, chief of the provincial department of customs and excise, authorities launched the raid at Phnom Penh Dry Port – managed by railway operator Royal Railway – following a tip-off from the Regional Intelligence Liaison Office (RILO) of the World Customs Organisation, to which the Kingdom belongs.

“RILO is an international NGO that shares secret information about crimes … If they have any information on illegal smuggling, they inform Cambodia to be ready for the bust,” he said, adding that the haul likely originated in Africa.

“We don’t know how many kilograms there are, because they were put in the timber . . . there are one or two pieces of timber,” said Vuthy Ravong, project manager of Wildlife Alliance’s Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team, which was involved in the raid.

Sieng Borin, chief of the provincial agricultural department, said the container had been transported to the port by train “from the direction of Sihanoukville”. 

“The port owner is not responsible as [the port] is just a private place to store containers,” he said. “We are searching for the owner of the container.”

Experts have in recent years called Cambodia a transit point for the illicit trade of ivory from Africa to Vietnam and China, particularly after crackdowns in Vietnam, which used to be a top export destination.

    As you know, the Vietnamese dog eater named Drgunzet is still around. You have already known that this poster Drgunzet is always every where on Khmer/Cambodian websites. This Vietnamese dog eater is dreaming a failure of Cambodia and Cambodian/Khmer people and dreaming big about the Vietnam (combination of China province "Hanoi", Champa "Central Vietnam", Southern Cambodia/Khmer Krom "South Vietnam") along with Laos and current Cambodia "Central Cambodia." You, as online readers, will see the skinny current Vietnam and then this Vietnamese dog eater Drgunzet will see the fat Vietnam in the near future adding Laos and Cambodia so that people in the world will be fooled by seeing the shape of current Vietnam "Skinny or thin" to future Vietnam "Fat or thick." You can check it out on the map on Google earth.

    Remember, when Cambodian people or leaders forgot to include Koh Tral "Tral Island" in Southern Cambodia at sea starting from 1979 after the Killing Fields in Cambodia when it comes to Cambodia Map on Google earth. The Vietnamese leaders as Viet Dog eaters like Drgunzet would take the opportunity to add Tral Island "Koh Tral" to be a part of Vietnam called Phu Quoc. This is how the Stupid Yuon/Vietnamese folks claimed the island of Cambodia "Koh Tral" to belong to Vietnam. How clever!!!

    The posters Drgunet who a Vietnamese dog eater talking proudly about the fake country called Vietnam (a combination of China province "North Vietnam", Champa "Central Vietnam" and Southern Cambodia/Khmer Krom "South Vietnam").

    This Vietnamese dog eater Drgunzet loves his friend named Hun Sen who is a Vietnamese slave or puppet. Drgunzet is dreaming a failure of Cambodia and Cambodian/Khmer people. Vietnamese people and Vietnam are still in crisis because they are communist.
