Cambodia's Hun Sen warns Thailand on oil export suspension
PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen has strongly responded to a recent proposal by Thailand's opposition party calling for the Thai government to halt oil exports to Cambodia. In a Facebook post on Friday (June 20), Hun Sen rejected the idea, firmly stating that Cambodia would not collapse if it ceased receiving oil from Thailand. He also warned that such a move could backfire on Thailand, particularly affecting Thai companies, such as PTT, which operates gas stations in Cambodia. "This is a dangerous game that may end up backfiring," Hun Sen wrote. "Today, the Thai opposition party has suggested that the Thai government stop selling oil to Cambodia, hoping to pressure us into submission. "We want to make it clear that Cambodia will not fall apart just because we stop buying oil from Thailand. In fact, PTT, a Thai company operating in Cambodia, may feel the impact first." Hun Sen further cautioned that if Thailand implemented this measure, it could force PTT to rely on oil imports from other countries to maintain its operations in Cambodia. He also suggested that the Cambodian government consider diversifying its oil sources and reducing dependence on Thailand for other goods. "I advise the government to seriously consider reducing imports from Thailand. "If the border issues remain unresolved, Cambodia should suspend imports of all canned products from Thailand, including alcoholic drinks, energy drinks, canned fish, and meat, and turn to domestic products or goods from other countries," he added. Hun Sen also highlighted that energy was not the only area of contention. He recalled how Thailand had previously used internet access, electricity, and Cambodian labour as political tools. He remarked that Thailand had once used Cambodian workers as leverage, but now seemed to be more conciliatory, recognising the severe impact it would face if Cambodian workers were sent back. "If you truly dare, try sending all Cambodian workers back and see how Thailand's economy fares," he challenged. Finally, Hun Sen called on the Cambodian people to look beyond the present and plan long-term, especially with regard to economic influence being used as a political tool. He urged the country to prepare for future challenges and the potential misuse of economic power in regional geopolitics. "Let us plan for the future, beyond 2030, and be ready for any situation where economic influence is used as a political weapon," Hun Sen concluded. - The Nation/ANN

Thai special operations centre unveils five strategies to aid farmers hit by Cambodia's import ban
BANGKOK: The Special Operations Centre for Thai-Cambodian Border Situations Management (SOC-TCBSM) has introduced five strategic measures to support farmers impacted by Cambodia's recent ban on Thai fruit and vegetable imports. These strategies aim to assist agricultural communities and mitigate the effects of Cambodia's recent ban on Thai fruit and vegetable imports, which was enforced due to the ongoing border tensions between the two nations. The five strategies are as follows: 1. "Thai Fruit Festival 2025" campaign The campaign will be organised in collaboration with retail and wholesale stores, local markets, and trade associations such as the Thai Agricultural Wholesale Market Association and the Thai Fresh Market Association. The festival aims to promote the consumption of Thai fruits. 2. Purchasing mangoes for distribution as complimentary gifts In collaboration with four fuel station chains—PT, PTT, Bangchak, and Susco—with 1,097 outlets across Bangkok and its vicinity, this initiative will target the purchase of 2,000 tons of mangoes to be given away as promotional gifts. 3. Connecting fruit sales to the Commercial Ministry's Blue Flag (Thong Fah) and mobile events The government will link Thai fruits to sales events like the Thong Fah and mobile events, targeting 30 locations in Bangkok and provincial areas such as Ratchaburi, Chachoengsao, Surin, and Nakhon Phanom. - Photo: The Nation/ANN 4. Supporting fruit purchases for corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities The government will encourage public and private sector organisations, such as the Ministry of Finance, the Armed Forces, the National Police, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation, state-owned financial institutions, and private banks, to purchase Thai fruits for their CSR activities and consumption within their institutions. 5. Expanding new sales channels - Fort Vending (Tao Bin): This initiative will see the company purchase fruit to create smoothie products for sale at 15 Tao Bin vending machines located in major shopping malls. The goal is to purchase 1,000 tons, with plans to expand to nationwide branches with a target of 7,500 tons. The MOU was signed on May 16. - AirAsia: The airline will purchase Thai fruits to process them into menu items and beverages for sale on domestic and international flights. The target is 1,000 tons, and an MOU has been signed. - The Nation/ANN

Dusit Princess Melaka sets new benchmark for hospitality in Malacca amid robust tourism growth
KUALA LUMPUR: Malacca's tourism sector is poised for robust growth this year, fuelled by a remarkable 74% surge in visitor arrivals in 2024 that underscores the state's resilience and expanding appeal. This growth signals a vibrant market trajectory, positioning Malacca as a destination ready to capitalise on new tourism-related offerings and sustain its upward momentum in the hospitality industry. Dusit International representative Richard Suter said the hospitality industry in the state has responded effectively to this momentum, with a dynamic mix of boutique hotels and a robust presence of Airbnb properties now offering ample accommodation to meet the rising demand. 'However, while domestic tourism remains a strong driver, the international market, particularly from Singapore and neighbouring regions, has not yet reached its full potential. 'As Malacca positions itself on the global stage, hosting high-profile events and leveraging its Unesco World Heritage status, we anticipate a broader influx of international visitors. 'Initiatives such as the recent grand opening of the Dusit Princess Melaka, with its modern meeting and event facilities, further enhance our readiness to welcome large-scale conferences and business travellers,' Suter told SunBiz. Dusit Princess Melaka, a brand under Dusit International, celebrated its official grand opening on May 29, introducing a new standard of upscale Thai-inspired hospitality to the state. The hotel unveiled one of the largest meeting and event spaces in Malacca, enhancing the city's appeal as a regional meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) destination. The hotel's official grand opening ceremony was officiated by Malacca Governor Tun Dr Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam and attended by Thailand's ambassador to Malaysia Lada Phumas and Dusit International chief operating officer Gilles Cretallaz. Suter said Dusit Princess Melaka is raising the bar for hospitality in Malacca by introducing the well-known Thai service standards of the Dusit brand, renowned for its warmth and attention to detail. With its attractive design and top-notch facilities, the hotel offers a unique experience that distinguishes it from others in the city. This approach, Suter said, improves guest comfort and sets a new benchmark for what visitors can expect from hotels in Malacca. 'Our unique selling points are clear: within our hotel, the MICE space stands out as one of the largest in the region, featuring 12 versatile rooms and a main hall spanning over 774 square metres. 'We offer live feed capabilities with four large screens for immersive event experiences at our Bunga Raya Grand Ballroom, alongside outstanding recreational facilities such as a 24-hour gym and a swimming pool, one of the deepest in the state. 'These amenities collectively elevate the standard of hospitality and guest experiences in Malacca,' Suter said. Touching on challenges, he noted that the most pressing issue facing Malacca's hospitality industry amid rapid tourism growth is the ongoing struggle to attract and retain skilled talent, a concern faced by the hospitality sector domestically and globally. 'Like every industry right now, finding the right people is our biggest challenge – there isn't a country that doesn't face this. 'We are utilising technology to optimise operations in the background, yet nothing can substitute the human element at the forefront. Coaching and engaging our team members is essential because hospitality requires real commitment and passion,' Suter said. With expected growth this year, Dusit Princess Melaka is ramping up operations and aims to secure its share of the market, buoyed by strong occupancy momentum and a positive outlook for Visit Malaysia 2026. Suter said, 'We're focused on growth and are still ramping up as a new player in the market. Securing our fair market share is a top priority, and initiatives like Visit Malaysia 2026 are a definite boost – there's real investment behind driving visitors here. 'Ultimately, it's up to us to deliver on expectations and ensure guests experience a memorable time in Melaka right from the start by staying with us. Our spacious rooms and great views add to the experience, and I'm encouraged by the positive direction we're seeing for both 2025 and 2026.' Meanwhile, Dusit International has confirmed plans to expand its presence in Malaysia, with a property under construction in Gamuda Cove, Selangor. 'Dusit International has firmly established its presence in Malaysia and is optimistic about its growth prospects here. The success of our current project, along with the strong efforts of our development team, has generated significant interest in the Dusit brand, and we expect this momentum to continue,' Suter said. To note, Dusit International operates several distinctive brands, including Dusit Thani (luxury), Dusit Devarana (wellness and retreats), Dusit Princess (upscale), D2 (lifestyle), and Dusitani (serviced apartments), enabling the group to cater to a wide range of traveller needs. 'Dusit offers remarkable flexibility through its diverse portfolio that allows us to address nearly every market segment. 'This is only the beginning for Dusit in Malaysia. Over the past few weeks and months, I've witnessed a strong and growing interest in our brand, and we are committed to bringing our signature Thai-inspired hospitality to this market,' Suter said.
