At Monk Congress, Chea Sim Urges Peace

Chea Sim, the president of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, appealed to all Cambodians on Tuesday to embrace Buddhism and let go of jealousy and violence in favor of peace, political stability, social order and development.
Chea Sim, who is also the president of the Senate, spoke at the opening of the 18th annual conference for Buddhist monks.
“Buddhism is virtuous and a leading power to make all of Cambodian society promote social morals and to abandon violence,” he said.
“All Buddhists, please join in conducting good deeds for the [national] interest and the protection of peace, stability, solidarity, hope and national construction toward sustainable prosperity,” he said.
While the government respects the freedom of religion, Buddhism remains the state religion, he said.
With or without religion, Cambodia’s civil society “still worries about violence, jealousy and discrimination,” said Am Sam Ath, lead investigator for the rights group Licadho, “because the implementation of law is still weakening.”
In 2009, Licadho recorded 815 cases of violence relating to human rights violations made by powerful officials or law enforcement authorities, he said. The cases involved shooting deaths and injuries, torture, domestic violence, rape, land grabs and the trafficking of women and children, he said.
“Cambodia still faces many problems which must be solved by standing on the concepts of Buddhism,” Chea Sim said in his address. “Patriots must clear out bad things, to [create] good things through the dharma of cleanliness, strong force, the build up of civilization, culture and a plural democracy in conformity with the rule of law.”

Now many CPP people are afraid of their shadows. They have done many bad things. They killed people. They rob people. They abuse law they make. Their words become law. Law is up to their group. They even use Buddhism for political gain. God Buddha will never forgive them. Ta Ngout Nget is CPP alliance. He is pro-Viet. He involved arresting Monk Sakhorn and sent him to Viet to be jailed there. God Buddha will never bless them. They use money they rob from the people to do some good deed. How can Lord Buddha forgive them.
Chea Sim,
you said you do good thing but
you give Khmer lands to Viet,
you give Angkorwat to Viet,
you give Tonlesap to Viet,
you give your soul to Viet
You go to hell. None can help you.
No Xim has no power to gave Cambodia to Viet, Xen is the only guy that has full power to do everything in Cambodia. Xen was a good actor in the Pirate of Cambodia now it is time to act as a homeless man and beggar in the Paradise of Vietnam.
There is no peace to the wicked
say the Holy one of Israel. Phnom
Penh has become a den of thieves
and robbers. Man look on the outside
but God look on the inside.
Buddhism never can bring peace. Not
in the history of Khmer's people.
Peace must be with all Cambodians. All Khmers must respect the Buddhism and all the monks (no matter what philosophy the monks have).
Sathou, Sathou..........Peace will be with all of us!
fuck a tepvong. a tepvong thot tep son of bitch
Buddha won't forgive you since you have committed too many crimes. The only thing Buddha can forgive you, you must give up everything you have got and be a normal monk. This way you will clean up all your sins.
It's rediculous that Thief chief gives moral advise to Supreme Buddhist monks.LOL.
There will be no peace until the Viet Cong return our land back to Cambodia. We will not rest and we will not stand down. To the viets gov'ment you are not going to get away with this.
Those two wanna be monk that are sitting on that chair...you are ass fake. You are just another parasite working for the Viet. You can't fool Khmer people.
speak for yourself, cambodia is moving forward, like it or not. god bless cambodia and khmer people. those who like to hate and choose jealousy can do so until they die of old age as nobody can live forever anyway, but for cambodia, the country and its leaders and life will go on with or without these hate mongers, really! some people are so bitter, soon they die from lack of spiritual well-being, etc... yes, there are more to cambodia than you and i, really! god bless cambodia.

Ah Hochimonk Tep Vong and Ah Hochimong Nuon Nget are watching porn movies and drinking beer every nights.
Eh Heng Xoy, is your father Heng Xamrin?
I am glad the PCC leaders are talking peace, non-violence behavior, stability and prosperity. It is a long over due for them to embracing this policy. I begin to feel the CPP is changing as they are also getting older, hopefully wiser... which is all good. But please to look out for our national interest. We are here together and please be careful of the Vietnamese control our politics and economy.
Beside Ho Chi Monk Tep Vong, we have the following Ho Chi Minh children:
Ho Chi Hun Sen
Ho Chi Chea Sim
Ho Chi Heng Sam Rin
Ho Chi Sok An
Ho Chi Tea Banch
Ho Chi Sar Kheng
Ho Chi CPP members
All are Youn Hanoi agents and all are Khmer traitors.
All are in Khmer black list.

They've just caught some fake monks who went around the country, collecting money from people for building this? and that?, some people donated 50$, 100$, $200, and it turn out those monks are not real monks at all, they dress as a monks to fool people....
Oversea too! monks are crooked and corrupted, the money from donors that monks collected, monks suppose to help paying electric, phone, gas bills etc.., but monks kept them all and saving, bought themselves some plots of lands in cambodia, monks are rich and very wealthy these days...
I think it's a good way for retirement investment...don't have to work?
Chief monk, Sao Khon in Massachusetts is the most corrupted in USA...
chea xim sam in hun sen tep vong noun nget and more in cpp are Khmer national traitors.
one day karma will come to you.
That why you have councilmen and elders who oversea the Tempe finances and donations independently. If you did have then you cant blame anybody but yourself
Well, don't have work or paying Taxes and why not..? free foods, free drinks, free Sat.disk net work world wide...life is simple!
By robbing from believers..?
