Khmer Krom are protesting against the nomination of the new abbot for Wat Samaky Raingsey Pagoda


Order issued by CPP-stalwart and Buddhist patriarch Non Nget for the nomination of Ven. Khin Veasna, an outsider to the Khmer Krom community, as the new abbot of the Wat Samaky Raingsey pagoda

KI-Media note: Cambodia Express News reported that, during his illness, Ven. Yoeung Sin, the former abbot of Wat Samaky Raingsey Pagoda, left a will in which he expressed his wish to see a Khmer Krom monk taking the helm of Wat Samaky Raingsey. Knowing the plight of Khmer Krom brothers and sisters who have suffered oppression both in Vietnam and in Cambodia, it is quite understandable that they would like to see Ven. Yoeung Sin's will fulfilled. We sincerely hope that Phnom Penh respects the wish of our Khmer Krom brothers and sisters. It should be noted that Patriarch Non Nget is no stanger to Khmer Krom suffering, he was also the one who issued an order to defrock Ven. Tim Sakhorn, a Khmer Krom monk, and the deportation of the latter to Vietnam to be unjustly jailed there. By ordering his order against Ven. Tim Sakhorn, Hochimonk Non Nget was in fact fulfilling an order issued by Hanoi.
On Thursday morning, about 200 laymen, monks and members of Khmer Kampuchea Krom associations led a protest inside the Wat Samaky Raingsey Pagoda to protest against the decision to nominate the new pagoda abbot. The decision [issued by the CPP-stalwart Buddhist patriarch Non Nget] nominates Ven. Khin Veasna as the pagoda president to replace Ven. Yoeung Sin, the former abbot of the pagoda, who passed away on 28 September 2010. The protesters indicated that they cannot accept this nomination and they demanded that the replacement for Ven. Yoeung Sin be someone of Khmer Krom origin.

Thach Sang, President of the Friend of Khmer Kampuchea Krom Association, indicated that this nomination is unacceptable because the pagoda is the blood and sweat contribution by Khmer Kampuchea Krom Buddhists, as such, the pagoda’s president must be someone of Khmer Krom origin.

VOKK reported that Ven. Khin Veasna is believed to be an agent provocateur sent by the ruling CPP party to spy on Khmer Krom activities when Ven. Yoeung Sin was managing the pagoda. This is the reason why he is now nominated by the CPP-controlled ministry of Cult to take over the helm of the pagoda.

Goal: Get that non-Khmer Krom CPP newly appointed headmonk out of Khmer Krom Wat.
Plans: Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, ...

The new headmonk must be of Khmer Krom people, not some CPP slavemonk.

Keep speaking out against this CPP monk and soon he will be out of there in no time. Keep speak out!

This is story is ridiculous and absurd to the 10th power!

This temple and its surrounding play community that it serves have the right to choose their own leader of their choice, rung aey ban Puk Hun Sen and Nguon Nget felt the need to interfere and imposed a leadership structure against their will on their own temple?

Come on Cambodia, are you a free country and freedom of religion? Or are you a Viet Cong who installs and manage other people internal affair like installing Nguon Nget and Hun Sen?

Hun Sen/Ngoun Nget, undo this this act at once you criminal! You are no friend to religious freedom or any kind of freedom and you call your regime a "democratic" law. Democratic my ***!

Democratic as in Democratic Kampuchea underwent name change!

The Cambodia govt is no longer khmer govt because every levels of officials administrations are setting up by Viet govt.All of officials from the top to the bottom set up by Vietnam control.These officials are selling out to Vietcong. Even Buddhist Sects:Dammayudda and Mahayana are picking by Viet govt.These two sects are serving as idiologist communist Vietnam. The Khmer Krom monks who escape from South Vietnam to live peacefully in Cambodia,but they can not have no rights to live as Khmer citizens.They can not live peacefully in Vietnam so they can not live in Cambodia.They are are Khmer why they can't? One day Central Khmer will have no place to run.Will Khmer run to live in Thailand or die no rights to live in their own land.There are no Khmer land now.Vietnam govt always threaten Khmer Krom Monks,Khmer Krom people;And then the Central Cambodia will face the same problems again.

Advise us, what we or ether Khmer will have to to to please your mind ?

I think the Khmer Krom people are well versed in survival politics. If they have withstand ah YUONs until this time, they can certainly withstand ah truv krob Hun Sen for sure.

It is so obviously that most Khmer Krom are not a peaceful people even though, they became monks. Aggressive, speak louder than their knowledge and have extremely minds...etc are the typical of Khmer Krom. Despite they always claimed that they are Khmer, but they have often celebrated Khmer festivals different day from Khmer in Cambodia. On top of that, their character and ideas are contrary to most Khmer in Cambodia. They speak Khmer with Vietnamese's accent but they are shameless to brand Khmer in Cambodia as Youn. Because of they are weird behavious, most Khmer Krom can't live up with other Khmer community no matter they live in Cambodia or in abroad.
