PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A violent 20-kilogramme monkey at a temple in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh was shot dead after it attacked visitors, an official said Friday.

The rowdy male macaque was killed on Thursday, because "it had bitten many people and many people said the monkey was a gangster," said Chhim Dina, the deputy of Phnom Penh's Daun Penh district.

Just last week the macaque bit a 60-year-old woman on her head, hands and legs, he said.

"We decided to kill the monkey because it disturbed tourists visiting Wat Phnom Pagoda," he said, adding that authorities are working to capture more dangerous monkeys in the area.

Wat Phnom is crowded with some 200 semi-tame macaques who occasionally cause havoc to nearby homes and hotels, tearing apart tile roofs, destroying laundry and stealing loose items.

Authorities in the past tried to trap unruly monkeys by getting them to eat eggs laced with sleeping pills, but were unsuccessful.

    The monkeys must be check up if they have any disease or contaminated to the drug's fume which the drug users frequantly used around Wat Phnom Park, otherwise release them back to the wild where Cabodian & Viet..border is. Train them to protect, and bite illegal immigrants.

    May god bless & protected Khmer all

    hello, they only killed the rogue one or the mean one to stop it from attacking and biting people who visited the park. the nice ones they spare them. did you know, they do the same to a mean dog that attack people in the USA, so what is the big deal here? as much as i too love cute monkey, but if one is crazy to attack people, then i don't think people care to see it get shot. thank you.

    Since the Vietcong recognized the existence of the Khmer-Youn and it won't be long that the Vietcong will also have to recognize the independent Khmer-Youn nation!

    The whole Cambodia had been a re-education camp for Cambodian people under Cambodian government Vietcong slave mother fuckers who blindly follow the Vietcong policies to oppress the Khmer-Youn while allowing the Viet to have their freedom in Cambodia to open school, organization, and diplomatic recognition over Khmer people in Cambodia!

    Shut up 5:33AM. Let's speak with sense and don't talk dumb. If you still do then stay away from CPP.
    We CPP don't want people like you to speak for us and make us look bad. Get it?

    We CPP members don't like re-education, but we were forced it.
    We only want to see our country do business and get rich, not re-education. If we need we should be sent to study China, Japan, Sinagapore, US, the countries that are best in doing business.
    Re-education is only for Communist and we are not communist, so SHUT UP.
