Novice monk Tim Sakhorn is currently in hiding in Thailand and he is seeking a refugee status to avoid being deported back to Vietnam.
Novice monk Tim Sakhorn informed RFA, slightly ahead of this broadcast, that his decision to flee Cambodia was because of the various signs he saw there that indicated to him that there would be no tolerance for him to live in peace with his relatives and his old father, this in spite of the guarantee provided from the upper level of the Cambodian authority allowing him to live legally in Cambodia.
Novice monk Tim Sakhorn said: “The reason was that there is no safety. I went to ask for an ID at the village level, at the commune and district level, all the way to the abbot of the Kirivong district and the provincial police commission. They said, one after another that the Ministry of Interior confirmed in writing about the issuance of an ID for me. But one level of the authority said that it should be done by another level instead, so I was scared and I cannot endure living in Cambodia. So I traveled to Thailand to look for a safe refuge for myself.”
Novice monk Tim Sakhorn was the former abbot of the Wat Phnom Den pagoda, located in Kirivong district, Takeo province. He was defrocked by force by monks sent by the supreme patriarch (Tep Vong and Non Nget) on 30 June 2007. He was deported by force and put in jail for one year in Vietnam. He was accused of undermining the solidarity between Cambodia and Vietnam.
At the end of last week, Tim Sakhorn was re-ordained again as a novice monk in a pagoda in Phnom Penh. Following this ceremony, on that same day, he fled to Vietnam through the Boeung Trakuon pass in Cambodia: “I was re-ordained on 11 April in Phnom Penh. I cannot tell you the name of the monk who officiated my re-ordainment, nor the names of the witnesses and pagoda. After being re-ordained, I traveled by moto-doup (taxi motorcycle) to Thailand.”

Is Cambodia really independent from Vietnam?
Tim Sakhorn, a Khmer monk,was defrocked in Cambodia and sent to Vietnam to be jailed for destroying the so-called " 10 thousands years of Cambodia-Vietnam friendship" .
The Skin Head Tep Vong and Hun Sen are truly the valets of Vietnam.
Great job KKF ! Congratulation for all the hard works ! Jayo the couragous Khmer Krom !!!
Pourk Ah Kbort CPP, Ah Sen, Ah Tmirl Tep Vong, and Ah Tmirl Non Nget are only protected the illigal Viet Minh to live in Cambodia freely, but to help destroy and accuse the patriot Khmer people like Novice monk Tim Sakhorn to put him in jail, not Cambodia jail, but Hanoi jail.
If I were him, I fled Cambodia too. He did the right thing not to live in Cambodia because these thugs will assassinate him one day.
God help to protect Novice monk Tim Sakhorn from Tmirl Ort Sasna CPP and Ah Sen.
Chey Yo Khmer Kampuchea Krom and Khmer Kandal.
3:53, SDACH MY BUD! They are the slave of the Vietcong!
Domestic rats of ah Vietnamese!

Khmer unity will put pressure and shame on youns and
traitors of khmer people!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL KHMER AROUND THE GLOBE
I wish I could give money to monk Tim Sakhorn. Is anyone knows how to do, please let me know through Ki comment.
We are wicked as the Israelites 2700 years ago.
What the Lord, God judged that people will be the same to Cambodiam which did not learn anything from the warning from God, and what happend to this people after.
Please read the following verses from the book of Amos:
Amos 4
Israel’s Failure to Learn
1 Listen to me, you fat cows[a]
living in Samaria,
you women who oppress the poor
and crush the needy,
and who are always calling to your husbands,
“Bring us another drink!”
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn this by his holiness:
“The time will come when you will be led away
with hooks in your noses.
Every last one of you will be dragged away
like a fish on a hook!
3 You will be led out through the ruins of the wall;
you will be thrown from your fortresses,[b]”
says the Lord.
4 “Go ahead and offer sacrifices to the idols at Bethel.
Keep on disobeying at Gilgal.
Offer sacrifices each morning,
and bring your tithes every three days.
5 Present your bread made with yeast
as an offering of thanksgiving.
Then give your extra voluntary offerings
so you can brag about it everywhere!
This is the kind of thing you Israelites love to do,”
says the Sovereign Lord.
6 “I brought hunger to every city
and famine to every town.
But still you would not return to me,”
says the Lord.
7 “I kept the rain from falling
when your crops needed it the most.
I sent rain on one town
but withheld it from another.
Rain fell on one field,
while another field withered away.
8 People staggered from town to town looking for water,
but there was never enough.
But still you would not return to me,”
says the Lord.
9 “I struck your farms and vineyards with blight and mildew.
Locusts devoured all your fig and olive trees.
But still you would not return to me,”
says the Lord.
10 “I sent plagues on you
like the plagues I sent on Egypt long ago.
I killed your young men in war
and led all your horses away.[c]
The stench of death filled the air!
But still you would not return to me,”
says the Lord.
11 “I destroyed some of your cities,
as I destroyed[d] Sodom and Gomorrah.
Those of you who survived
were like charred sticks pulled from a fire.
But still you would not return to me,”
says the Lord.
12 “Therefore, I will bring upon you all the disasters I have announced.
Prepare to meet your God in judgment, you people of Israel!”
13 For the Lord is the one who shaped the mountains,
stirs up the winds, and reveals his thoughts to mankind.
He turns the light of dawn into darkness
and treads on the heights of the earth.
The Lord God of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
May God bless if his faithful people.
ពួកអាឆ្កួតឯងកុំចេះតែជេរដ្ឌាភិបាលរបសអញពេក
ប្រយ័ត្តវាឡប់ខ្លួនឯងទៅអាភ្លើ។
Mr 2:33 AM, Please stop your long comment. It's boring.
Like the " YUON" many high ranking officials such as Khieu Sophealk .....are hypocrite and cruel.
Listen what they said about the case of TIM SAKHORN: HYPOCRYSIE.
And the KHMER KROM who sold themselves to the CPP, such VAR Kim CHHENG...they keep tight-lipped.
