Chief Monk’s Brother-in-Law on the Run After Murder

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Chief Monk’s Brother-in-Law on the Run After Murder

Post by Anchor Moy »

This is not good monk behaviour. They should watch out for the karma. :evil:

Extract from CD:
According to Mr. Sokny’s confession to police, the murder took place on December 9 after he asked Mith Touch to visit his house and confronted her about allegations she was spreading against him in the commune.

Mith Touch was telling villagers that Mr. Sokny had duped her out of a $2,000 plot of land, which he then transferred to Mr. Sin, who pawned off the land title to raise funds for his battery-charging business.

Seng Sophea, 40, who lives near the pagoda and frequents it, said Thursday that Mr. Sokny had a stake in the battery-charging business, too.

“He was not a good monk because he had a battery-charging business with his brother-in-law,” Ms. Sophea said.

Chao Sath Yoth, acting chief monk of Khemara Seima pagoda, said Mr. Sokny’s actions were a clear violation of the Buddhist doctrine, which prohibits monks from profiting from a business.
...not to mention murder and land-grabbing ...

Well, that monk won't be receiving any CEO karma points from me!

Our Khmer manager and his wife took us to Kirirom NP yesterday, on the way we passed some child monks. He commented on them and I quietly called them 'monklings'. He asked what I meant, I just said "duck - ducklings. Like little ducks. Ducklings." For about 10 minutes I could hear him quietly practicing 'monklings' under his breath. I considered not telling him I was joking, but I eventually felt guilty.

I've also taught him 'dickhead', which he loves, but has me in the poo with Mrs S.

So many possibilities, from proficiency in dickhead to backdoor...

I taught my English speaking Khmer friend Tits and As*hole which probably consigns me to a firey afterlife.

Now that's funny. ... Unexpected consequences. Might be on his shoe though but more probably on his Sneaker.
'dickhead', which he loves
Now, How do you interpret that. Just the tip? ;)

Is this all part of the Missionary teachings? If so, I might convert. 8-)
