This developing index records how the cited reports identify the public roles of ten people at specific dates. It is not an exhaustive current directory or an appointment notice. Provincial administration, provincial council, municipal administration and specialist departments are kept distinct; attending the same event does not establish the same responsibilities."},{"heading":"Governor and provincial council chair","sourceIds":["n10508-en","n9172-en"],"text":"The 26 October 2026 GDP-release report identifies Mang Sineth (ម៉ាង ស៊ីណេត) as Governor of Preah Sihanouk. The 24 September Constitution-anniversary report identifies វង្ស ផាណាត, written Vong Phanat in its English edition, as provincial council chair.

A separate 24 September report calls សាមុត សុធារឹទ្ធ the acting governor for that day’s event.

The 27 October Prek Treng Beach parking report identifies Sar Ratha (ស រដ្ឋា) as Deputy Commissioner-General of the National Police and Preah Sihanouk Provincial Police Commissioner.
