Superstition: Calf with upper tooth
Buddhist monk Huon Toun, 12, plays with a calf at Othom temple in Kamport province, 146km (90 miles) west of Phnom Penh March 4, 2007. The 45-day-old calf, named Chamrong Chamroeun, which means prosperity, has a tooth on its upper gum and was given to monks at a local pagoda after its owner feared the calf would bring him bad fortune.

It's just a birth defect and nothing superstitious about that.
many, many khmer are still naive and gullible. this why Hun Sen still in control but nor for long.
This 12 years old boy Huon Toun should be in school instead of wearing yellow robe of Buddha and playing with pet.
You see why the dumb down Hun Sen is too intoxicated with power?
Because he keeps Khmers to be dumb down like he is.
We are orbitting around Saturn and landed on Mars... and your Asian Dumb down are still believing in superstitious?
ំmoi28, you're quite prejudice toward monkhood. Just because he's a monk does not mean he learns nothing. Don't forget that in the old day monks are regarded as the most learned person. Villagers sent the children to Watt for education taught by monks.
Eh 10:51 AM.
It is not prejudice. Buddhism in Cambodia needs to be reformed. Buddhism in Cambodia is a Fake Buddhism. The more Temple they build the more Monks they have while the poor people have no food to eat. Yeah in the old day but now it is a new day. This little boy should be in school not wearing a yellow robe and playing around. It a waste. Cambodia society is still going backward so don't blame why she is still suffering and poor or why Hun Thug is still control Cambodia. Because there are to omany ignorant people like this boy keep increasing and do no good for the society.

Hi,
It's obvious that the gov't should seriously consider to reform the educational and religious institutions.
