Hi Ki media,

I am to happy to see that you have been releasing Visakha Puja ceremony that were celebrated on 17th May, on the mountain Udong. i read your topic about that events is good,but you have to correct from Vesak Bochea to Visakha Puja in replace,that above is not wrong but not correct in Pali standard.

Visakha puja is arisen from Pali word, next year, you have to write style " Visakha Puja".

Cambodia need workforce to build and defencd the country. These young monks should be in the woirkforce or education.

Other people consider monk as parasite, eat and sleep without doing work is that true?

Some monks hide behind their yellow robe and spy on girl who take bath and others committed crime.

Monk Tep Vong and others are living in luxury and have luxury car and bodyguard.

For Tep vong, should people consider as vampire or Hochimonk?

Go to pagoda pray for Buddha, do not pray to monk and do not bring food for them and let them starve because they are so obese and lazy.

The young monks just want to be monk for short period during this "Visakhha Puja."
You should learn a little about the Khmer culture and the way of life of the Khmer people, before you blamed other.

"know what you knew the one you did
not know you should learn to know".
All religion believers:Buddhist,
Christian,or Islamist etc...are not perfect.
Are you a perfect person?There is
no one.
The only Khmer Rouge wiped out religions in Cambodia.
