Monks VS NagaWorld Corp: Who will win?
Hundreds of Buddhist monks marched through Phnom Penh on Friday, demanding an end to construction in and around the Buddhist Institute, which is quickly being surrounded by structures and construction sites belonging to the NagaCorp.
In May, the Buddhist Institute’s front gate was demolished to allow underground construction to go forward and more recently, a raised 30- by 100-meter concrete slab has been laid by a private construction firm in the middle of the institute compound, fueling concerns that the land has been sold for development.
About 200 monks from the Independent Monk Network for Social Justice attempted to deliver a petition to the Royal Palace Friday asking for King Norodom Sihamoni to ensure that the Buddhist Institute remain intact, but were blocked by about 50 riot police stationed near the palace.
“We have asked the King to order a stop to rental of the land in the Buddhist Institute,” said But Buntenh, head of the Monk Network. “Some officials have sold property of the King and no one is taking any action. Is this respectful to the King?”
A Royal Palace official eventually came out to meet with the protesting monks and accept their petition, which calls for an end to construction on the institute grounds and the removal of the concrete structure now at the center of the compound.
At the National Assembly, the next stop on the march, the monks were met by opposition lawmaker Yem Ponhearith, the head of the parliamentary Commission on Education, Youth, Sports and Religious Affairs.
“We will be inviting His Excellency Ministry of Cults and Religion Ming Khin to answer questions on the afternoon of [October] 9 related to the Buddhist Institute,” Mr. Ponhearith told the monks.

Of course Naga hands down. The amount of 'gift' they give to the corrupted officials and govt each year is no less than 7 figures. Anyone cares to bust Sokha hotel Siem Reap for running an underground casino?

Yeah, they know their beloved monks and their history of "peaceful" acts.About 200 monks .....attempted to deliver a petition to the Royal Palace Friday asking for King Norodom Sihamoni to ensure that the Buddhist Institute remain intact, but were blocked by about 50 riot police stationed near the palace.
Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

Money and power always win in Cambodia, even the Buddhists are aware of this and love it until it roosts in their front yard. Money is the new Buddha, wats and banks should share the same building so that they can follow their true path to happiness in Cambodia.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Put it all on black. Red is at least 10-1.
