Politics Cambodian Navy Expels Thai Oil Tanker Amid Import Ban Dispute
Picture courtesy of Amarin The Cambodian Navy has expelled a Thai oil tanker from its territorial waters near Sihanoukville in what appears to be a symbolic enforcement of the country’s recent ban on fuel imports from Thailand, despite earlier reports suggesting quiet continuation of cross-border shipments. According to a report from Cambodia’s Fresh News agency on 28 June, the incident involved the Thai tanker Chetthabodi 6, which was intercepted and ordered to leave Cambodian waters after being found operating illegally off the coast of Preah Sihanouk province. The expulsion follows public allegations on social media that Cambodia had continued to import fuel from Thailand discreetly, despite the government’s declared embargo. In response, the Cambodian Navy has now been instructed to strictly enforce the ban, including intercepting any illegal shipments of not only oil and gas but also Thai fruits and vegetables entering by sea. This move comes after the Cambodian government, led by Prime Minister Hun Manet and former Prime Minister Hun Sen, announced on 22 June a complete suspension of fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports from Thailand. Officials claimed that the country has sufficient capacity to source fuel from alternative suppliers and to meet domestic demand, whether for a month or indefinitely. Cambodia’s Minister of Mines and Energy reiterated in a 27 June press briefing that no exceptions would be made to the ban. “There will be no authorised importation of Thai oil or gas under any circumstance,” the minister stated. “Cambodia possesses the capability to secure and supply energy independently.” The incident involving Chetthabodi 6 appears to be a calculated show of enforcement amid scrutiny over the policy’s implementation. While officials have hailed Cambodia’s energy self-reliance, critics argue the move may be more politically driven than economically necessary. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-06-29 -

Time is running out for civilians in Gaza.
Jenny Chapman, the UK international aid minister, said the situation ( in Gaza) is “horrific… we have severely malnourished children who are susceptible to disease”. “There is every likelihood that if aid doesn’t go in quickly, we will be in the situation of famine, probably in the autumn,” Baroness Chapman added. She said: “Keeping order is very, very difficult, and if you are starving and there is a truck of food… I would loot, who wouldn’t?“ If you need to feed your child.” Aid minister says situation in Gaza so dire that she ‘would loot too’ | News | Independent TV -

Crime Labour Dispute Turns Deadly as Worker Kills Employer, Hides Body in Chiang Mai Forest
Picture courtesy of Amarin A murder in the remote highlands of Mae Chaem district, Chiang Mai has shocked the local community, after a worker allegedly killed his employer over unpaid wages, hid the body in a forest and fled with the victim’s motorbike and mobile phone. Police were alerted to the incident on 27 June when Pol. Lt. Padungsak Chaiyo, an investigative officer from Mae Chaem Police Station, received a report of a suspicious death in the mountainous farming area of Ban Mae Satop Tai, Moo 3, Mae Suek Subdistrict. Due to the isolated location, a joint investigative team including police detectives and a forensic doctor from Theparat Wechayanukul Hospital had to trek several hours on foot to reach the scene. Upon arrival, officers discovered the body of Mr. Boonchuay aged 57, lying near his hillside plantation. Evidence at the scene suggested he had been struck on the forehead with a blunt object. A piece of firewood, suspected to be the murder weapon was found near the body. According to Pol. Col. Statichai Nitiyawan, superintendent of Mae Chaem Police Station, Mr. Boonchuay had gone to work on his remote farm around 09:00 on 26 June. When his son, Mr. Songsuk, 32, was unable to contact him by the afternoon of 27 June, he travelled to the plantation and discovered his father’s lifeless body. Investigators suspect that a dispute over unpaid wages was the motive behind the attack. Two Karen workers, who had recently been employed by Mr. Boonchuay, are now missing. They are believed to have fled the scene with the victim’s red Honda Wave motorcycle, registration number from Chiang Mai and his mobile phone. Preliminary autopsy results confirm that the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head. The body has been transported to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital’s Forensic Department for further examination. Police have launched a manhunt for the two suspects and collected evidence from the scene, including photographs and topographical details, to build a stronger case. Authorities have vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice and are urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspects to come forward. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-06-29 -
