In Cambodia, Deputy Prime Minister Sar Sokha has ordered heightened security measures to prevent planned protests against the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Development Triangle Area, believing extremist groups aim to incite a 'colour revolution' against the government. Authorities will restrict group travel to Phnom Penh until the end of the month and have identified potential participants armed with weapons. In Sri Lanka, security has been increased at the Department of Government Printing as preparations for the presidential election commence, with a special security program in place for the nomination process scheduled for August 15. In Australia, following a pro-Palestinian protest where activists scaled Parliament House, Senate President Sue Lines announced short-term security enhancements, with longer-term measures under consideration amid rising terror threats. The Australian Federal Police are also facing a potential strike over pay disputes, which could affect security at Parliament, prompting further reviews of safety protocols.
