Could this poster be the wanted sign for the "3 leaders" sought by police for terrorizing Wat Phnom? (Photo: Blog by Khmer)Bounty for 'gangster' monkeys terrorising tourists at Cambodian temple
PHNOM PENH (AFP) — Cambodian police have put a 250-dollar bounty on the heads of several monkeys who have been terrorising tourists at a key temple in the capital and destroying nearby residents' laundry, officials said Friday.
At least three of the large macaques, which have been biting tourists at the famed Wat Phnom pagoda and also tearing up Internet lines, are being targeted, deputy district governor Pich Socheata told AFP.
"There are more than 200 monkeys there, but only three monkeys that behave badly... they behave like gang leaders," she said.
"The other monkeys are afraid of people. But these monkeys are not -- they are scaring tourists visiting Wat Phnom."
Authorities tried several times to get the unruly monkeys to eat eggs laced with sleeping pills, but had always been outsmarted, she said, hence the bounty.
Wat Phnom is crowded with semi-tame macaques who occasionally cause havoc to nearby homes and hotels, tearing apart tile roofs and stealing any loose items that they find.

According to the blog, I feel very bothering that these three gangsters are hung every corner and place throughout Cambodia.
Their logo and face are disturbing and boring....I am vomiting to see these three ignorant leaders who want people to honor/prostrate them - they try to lift up themselves with prefix-name such as Somdach (arch?) and now they gain many PhD certificate...sic!
Why ignorant Cambodian people always want to become a leader? So dangerous for the nation man!
It's so Funny,May be 3 Monkeys are Male and they though CPP party Leaders are their famales.PHK
In our Buddhist teaching, there are some paragraphes have said"
People who is being bornt without propre education but want to be a leader of the Nation, this is a cause of all destructions ".
These three people have no self easteem at all.What they wanted monies, power and non earn degree". What are these crabs?
These monkeys can do everything because the supposed persons to be literated don't dare to do a real democratic coalition like as propose by Mr Ok Socheat.

Hey 8:54 ! let me tell you that you are a really Yuon national, you know that?...
3:23, I don't mind being any one of the Mekonger. Chinese, Laotian, Yuon, Khmer and Siam are all brothers to me.
If monkeys are the problem then take away those monkeys and there should be more problem!
Yes, but we have to catch them first.
If those monkeys are biting the white pedophiles and stopping them using the internet to promote child porn, it seems that they are better than most Khmer people in PP. So why go after them?
Good point, no argument!
