CAMBODIAN authorities have warned that they will arrest anyone trying to bet on the upcoming World Cup football tournament.

Phnom Penh’s police chief Touch Naruth said the announcement fits with a ban on all forms of gambling decreed by Prime Minister Hun Sen in February 2009.

“We know that some countries in the world allow betting on the World Cup, but Cambodia will not allow it,” he said.

The government last year outlawed all forms of gambling by Cambodians citing a link between the practice and a perceived decline in moral standards. — Sapa-DPA
