Supreme Patriarch angered by questions on the decision to demolish the crematoriumThursday, May 07, 2009

Translated from Khmer by Heng Soy
The 54-year-old crematorium at the Wat Unalom Pagoda was ordered demolished by Supreme Patriarch Tep Vong after the City Hall issued its goal of eliminating all crematoriums within the city limit. Tep Vong clarified that the demolition of this crematorium was done to follow the City Hall directive which indicated that all crematoriums must be relocated outside the city limit. Tep Vong said that Wat Unalom Pagoda is an exemplary pagoda, therefore, it must takes the lead to set the example for other pagodas in the city. At the same time, Tep Vong also reacted angrily to the questions asked by journalists. The Supreme Patriarch [who being a former Communist Party member, most likely, forgot that he is currently a Buddhist monk practicing AHIMSA, non-violence] proceeded to call the journalists: “puppets [a-yorng], ghosts [bey-sach]”. His reaction came about when the journalists were asking him about the decision to demolish this crematorium at Wat Unalom Pagoda. According to the City Hall plan, the crematorium must be moved to the Wat Russey Sanh Pagoda, located in Prey Sar commune, Dangkao district, Phnom Penh city, located about 15 kilometers from the city center. The new crematorium is modern and uses electricity.

Do Ma Mey Tep Vong!!!
Fuck you Ah Tep Vong. You are one of the VN's puppet and lick Ah Hun Sen shit.
Ah Tro-ngol Tep Vong shut up! You need Viet woman to cool you down.
A Buddhist temple should have a crematorium. Without it the tradition, culture, ceremony will be fading away from the city forever. There are plenty of dirty places in Phnom Penh that need to be cleaned. I'm not a religious person, but I don't agree with Tep Vong at all. He is one of the most controversial Monk in Cambodia. Being a monk should be strickly abide into Buddhist laws, and neutral.
He should step down, as he is too involved with politics.

I think we should keep these crematoriums of the buddhist temples in the City Center stand still, but do not use them. All the people must be informed that they can only use the ones at the outskirts.
I don't know everything about the issues concerning the crematoriums. However, the way Tep Vong reacted to the media was rude and unceptable, for he is considered to be a role model and a respectful figure (?) for many Cambodians (excluding me). He also has a history of mad monk.
I feel so sorry for the Cambodian people who are living under the rules of a mad man (Hun Sen), a mad monk (Tep Vong), and their followers.
Go to fuck your mother Ah Tep Vong. You are a asshole fucker....
Damn Commie Tep Vong!!

This communist pig Tep Vong speaks Khmer but can't read Khmer only can read Vietnamese. I hate these kluon khmer kbal yuons, they are all over Cambodia to make sure Khmers never rise back up. Go to hell you Vietnamese communist supporter, Tep Vong is a big disrespect to ALL buddhists.
If anyone ever wondered how " dark vador " looks like?
Thats him. Look at the picture real good.
This monk's eyes are absolutely evil.
Demolishing crematorium is not fair for cambodian religion. It should be preserved to show for the next generation if they do not want to use it any more or want to have that environment cleaned. Anything is already existed on Khmer land should not be destroyed if so it is destroyed our history. Gain one better than lost.
Best regards
