PHNOM PENH, May 6 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Prime Minister Hun Sen requests that the public, whether Cambodian fans or foreigners, refrain from attacking one another on social media over a perceived lack of tickets for the 32nd SEA Games, particularly football matches and the opening and closing ceremonies.

He said that although the stadiums or venues can accommodate many spectators, they cannot hope to match demand from dedicated sports fans.
