Hun Sen made the appeal as he recalled past incidents surrounding crowded events, at least one of which turned tragic.
“So, unexpected events could happen as people flock to see the games at the National Olympic Stadium. We already experienced that in 2016 when football fans climbed over the fence into the stadium to see a game, although there were no major incidents,” he said at the graduation ceremony for students of the Royal Administration School on April 27.
“If there is any violence at any game, all the money we have spent and our efforts for five years since the start of the construction of the infrastructure would melt away and be lost. We have waited for this opportunity [to host the SEA Games] for 64 years,” he said. “I call on our people to maintain solidarity with our athletes as well as those from participating countries. No matter whether we lose or win, we as the hosts must be highly responsible and always be polite to our guests,” he said, adding that the athletes themselves must also adhere to the principles of good sportsmanship towards their opponents.
The relay procession is expected to arrive at Prek Anchanh Market along National Road 6 and head to Wat Phnom and then on to Wat Langka.
