Supreme patriarch Tep Vong said on Wednesday that there will not be anymore defrocking of Khmer Krom monks, following the defrocking of one Khmer Krom monks in Phnom Den pagoda, Takeo province.
Tep Vong claimed that the defrocking was done to this Khmer Krom monk because he created difficulties for him (Tep Vong), and that the Khmer Krom monk asked to be defrocked himself. Tep Vong said that there is no reason to defrock other Khmer Krom monks.
Tep Vong said: “If it’s true, I would do it already, but if it’s not true … I won’t do it, that’s why I said that we should end this mayhem with this guy (Tep Vong used the derogatory calling of “Ah Niss” to designate another monk), because he persecuted me. His group beat up other monks until their heads and faces were gashed.” RFA: “So there will not be any more defrocking?” Tep Vong: “No more … I don’t know, I did not defrock him, I was asked to give the permission for the defrocking, so I authorized the defrocking.”
Tep Vong made this remark after he received numerous criticisms for the defrocking of a Khmer Krom monk in Phnom Den. Tep Vong’s critics accused him of discouraging Khmer Krom monks from demanding the respect of Buddhism in Kampuchea Krom (South Vietnam).
Monk Yoeung Sin, the abbot of the Samaky Raingsey pagoda, said that Khmer Krom monks, in particular the 20 monks who just fled from Kampuchea Krom recently, are very concerned after they learned that Tep Vong had ordered the defrocking of another 11 Khmer Krom monks.
Monk Yoeung Sin added that up to now, some of the monks fled from their pagodas, while others no longer dare go out to beg for their alms as they usually do. “Now, there are other monks who fled, they are quite numerous, they are no longer staying in one place. They are now concerned, furthermore, some no longer dare going out to beg for their alms because they are afraid that they will be arrested, therefore, even to go beg for their alms, they don’t even dare do it. They are concerned that the Viet group arrest them and prevent them from going to beg for their alms … now they are scared, when they get into the water they face the crocodiles, but when they get back up on lands they face the tigers, they don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do,” Monk Yoeung Sin said.
Monk Tim Sakhorn, the abbot of the Phnom Den pagoda was defrocked by the Cambodian authority last Saturday. He was accused of violating the Buddhist rule by undermining the national and international unity, in particular, he is accused of undermining the relationship between Cambodia and Vietnam by using the pagoda as a propaganda headquarters.
Adhoc investigators confirmed that Monk Tim Sakhorn was issued warnings in the past because he allowed Khmer Krom people to become monks without asking the authorization from the patriarch. Following his defrocking, Monk Tim Sakhorn’s whereabouts is unknown, even though the Cambodian authority claimed that he volunteered to return back to Vietnam.
Currently, numerous civil society organizations are holding meetings to find refuge and safety shelters for concerned monks who are native from Kampuchea Krom.

Funny, Tep Vong doesn't know the Buddha teaching, but know how to lie, and yet Cambodian name a liar as a suprem patriarch monk!!! Go figure!
Tep Vong is just an ignorance Vietnamese pupet hiding behind the Buddist yellow robe. He doesn't know the real teaching of Buddha. He is the one that make Buddhism in Cambodia stains with the dirty mud.
He deserve no respect from the other Buddhist monks and Buddhist laymen. He used to hold handgun in his bag and used to be the member of the Communist Parliament. This person is full of greed and hunger for power that absolutely against the Buddhist Teaching.

How can a Supreme Tep Vong tell a lie? If he is a true monk, not Hochi Monk, he can not tell lie. He has a lot of sin since he committed crime against his own people and fellow monks. Ahr Chhourt Chhrouk Tep Vong. Night time he fucks Viet girls and day time he becomes a Hochi Monk.

Khmer should defrock Tep Vong, because we already caught him lie!!!So God Buddha can turn Vong into a dog to serve Khmout Ho Chi Minh.
Tep Vong and Lon Nget are CPP's Clown skin-head fake monks. I don't have any respect to them.
AH TEP VONG can't even conduct himself as a monk when he communicates with the public! I heard how say those words "Anh" and "AH NiSS" This fuck bastard truly is the missing link between human and monkey and still evolving into human and it would take another hundred million years...
Agree with 10:34AM,
Why did he used the "Anh" or "Ah Niss" . He just sound exactly the same as HUN SEN. Why does some CPP use inappropriate words in public. For Ah TEP VONG, he shoudn't not have use those unsuit or inappropriate at all.
Ah Tep Tmil Vong.
Ah Tmil
