Chelmsford or Lowell's resident temple need to be redesign or re-done to be as a real Khmer 's temple.
Look at Minnesota temple, they built them really nice. And plus Lowell is a big second population of Khmer's community in the US, how come they never upgrade the temple or build or least a new location and construct a new one with Khmer architecture??
With all those charity or donation from the people, where are all the money go?
Khmer Lowell,
12:52 AM,
The money collected from the public is being used to pay for lawyers in the impending case in Middlesex Superior Court. I was informed that the upstairs parties has just retained another new lawyer to represent them. The former lawyer no longer needs their money because, in almost the past ten years, he had made more than enough, including sending his kids to and finish college. The new lawyers are pretending they are working hard for some idiot monks and ignorant laymen.
Another Khmer Lowell
Lowell is a very bad corrupted place of Khmer people. It started from Cambodian Community (Samakom Khmer). This associate never help their own peopel they sucked up money alot and hardly do anything for Cambodian people.
Then the temple, for so many years from the 80's until now, we don't have an appropriate place to warship, don't talk about building a new one. We just need place to practice culture and tradition.
Of course we need a new temple with a Khmer's design or architect to represent us in the Greater Lowell area.
But Khmer leader not just being corrupted in Cambodia but they are doing here in Lowell as well.
What ashame??
We need to build one nice temple. I am proud of Minnesotan people!!
Lowell,MA
