Kun Khmer
The National Television of Cambodia organized an event at Siem Reap for the Khmer New Year in 2023. There was a controversial match between Chhoeung Lvay and Thai boxer Sammy Banchamek. Chhoeung Lvay's leg was injured in the match. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen issued a message that boxers competing in the SEA games should not compete in other boxing events until the SEA games finish. He also ask the Cambodian Kun Khmer federation to address the issue to avoid incidents that could affect participation in the SEA games. People on Facebook criticized and accused the referee of favoring the side of Sammy Banchamek. The Prime Minister asked people to stop debating the match on social media.[7]
