The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that Yut Puthang, Koh Kong provincial governor, and a number of important Koh Kong province officials, as well as a number of high ranking government officials from Phnom Penh, will join Buddhist monkhood this Friday at a pagoda located in Smach Meanchey district, Koh Kong province. The ceremony is named “the joining of monkhood by the sons of Koh Kong.” A source from the Koh Kong provincial office said that the ceremony will be participated by Chea Sim, Senate president, and Tep Vong, the supreme Bhuddist partriach of Cambodia, Say Puthang, the governor of Koh Kong province, and Tea Banh, the deputy prime minister and minister of defense. Rasmei Kampuchea reported that Say Puthang and 34 other high ranking officials will join monkhood for one week by abandoning their street clothes, and donning the orange Buddhist religious robe, and they will quietly practice meditation. The goal of this ceremony is to preserve an old provincial custom in which up to 20-year-old sons join monkhood to pay tribute to their parents.

CPP old trick to make Cambodian old people love them by paying respect to Buddhist Monky hood. I guarantee you these idiot 30 plus people won't last for a day because they need to look for their mistresses. How can they do a monk hood if they keep commit crime and corruption. they are all going to hell.
