Khmer authority detains a Thai Buddhist monk near Preah Vihear temple

Deum Ampil newspaper
13th March, 2009
Reported in English by Khmerization

A lone Thai Buddhist monk was arrested and detained by Cambodian authority for illegally entering Cambodia in an attempt to visit Preah Vihear temple and Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda on Friday.

According to sources, the lone Thai monk had travelled by a vehicle from Siem Reap and arrived at Dambon Kor Mouy near Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda at 10 o'clock at night time on Thursday 12th March.

The monk, who cannot speak or understand a word in Khmer, refused to answer any questions.

A Khmer official said that, this monk had entered Cambodia illegally on 3rd March through Boeng Trakuon border pass, travelled to Siem Reap and stayed there for a few days before arriving in Preah Vihear on Thursday night, the 12th of March.

The Cambodian authority detained him temporarily while reporting the case to the government.

At the same time, a Unesco official from Paris, Mr. Olabiyi Babalola Joseph Yai, president of executive council of UNESCO, has visited the Preah Vihear temple, which is the first visit by a senior official from Unesco.

On 13th July, 2008, three Thai Buddhist monks jumped over the border fence and crossed into Cambodia illegally and were detained by Cambodian border police. And on 15th July, Thai troops were sent to retrieve the arrested monks and hundreds more Thai troops were sent in afterward to occupy the temple areas which sparked border disputes until today.

A testing spy or a real monk? Who ever he is, lock him up and be no more Mr. Nice Guy. Mr. Nice Guy doesn't live between animals. He only lives among humans.

Siamese or Viets have proven themselves to be provokative and harassing time again and again. Lock this so call monk in Prey Sar. And let the truth come out.

He is a spy. when asked why he came to preah vihear because it is a war zone, he said that he didn't know that preah vihear is war zone because he was meditating in the jungle all his life. but why didn't he come through preah vihear, why did he come through boeng trakuon to siem reap and then to preah vihear?

How can he be as spy? He just came to visit some of his best Khmer Leu friends inside Khmer Leu territory that was invaded by Ah Khmer Kandal.

If you want to see spy, you should take a close look at Ah Tim Sahkon from South Vietnam.

Tim Sakhorn is not a Viet spy. The real Viet spies are Hok Lundy who is now dead, Om Yintieng, Hing Bunheang, Hor 5 Hong, Pol Saroeun, Sok An..etc because these people are Viets or have parents as Viets.

Where the Monk came and who the Monk is, we still pay our respect to the Monk. Buddhist is our State Religion of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The monk can be a Khmer Mon or Khmer descent born in Thailand like million other Khmer descents, (Oversea's Khmer) who did not have the possibility to learn the Khmer language.

Allright find out if he is a real Bubbhist monk or a Thai spy. If he knows nothing about praying in pali/sanskrit or reading fom Kampi he is a spy and spay gets shot. If he is a genuine monk, Khmer & Thai are alike, let him off the hook since he has come a long way from Siemreap to pray at Preah Vihear.

Yes, ask him to recite some Buddhist verses and ask him to chant some Pali/Sanskrit prayers. If he cannot it means that he is a spy. If he is a genuine monk who just come to pray and meditate, we should let him free.

Don't listen to this dude that ALWAYS talks about Khmer Leu bullshit! All he is a Khmer traitor and he needs to go back to the monkeys whom he was raised by and he needs to stop talking about that khmer leu and khmer kandal bullshit becuz it's the same shit all the time. Don't you get tired of saying the same shit all the time ?

I know he is a monk but that does not mean he can break the law of a country. After all it was the Thai monks that incite the PRAH VIHEAR issue.

Wrong, who invaded Khmer Leu's mountain?

12:24am, agreed. everyone has to respect the law. he entered cambodia illegally, so he must face some sort punishment - may be deportation. if he is a spy, he has to face cambodian laws.
