More trouble at Buddhist temple as monk's nephew moves in

Two months ago, A Current Affair confronted a Buddhist monk in Melbourne's north, who denied allegations of stealing donations, breaking his monastic vows, and shopping at SexyLand.

But there's now trouble brewing at the same place of worship, after a new leader decided to move into the Eysanmeanchey Temple, in Thomastown, and worshippers want the new monk turfed out too.

Back in September, Victoria's Supreme Court ruled to boot Buddhist monk Venerable Hout Chhet from the temple, pending a further trial.

It wasn't long until a new monk, Chhet's nephew, moved in.

Now Venerable Daro Yom has taken up residency in the temple and the community wants him out as well.

Temple worshippers, alongside the Buddhist community, have told A Current Affair they are fed up.

"I think there's a lot of dirty business going on," worshipper Jess claimed.

The monk's new cook, Kim Sonn Top stands by the embattled monks, and said they've done nothing wrong.

A Current Affair paid a visit to the temple to ask the Venerable Yom some questions, but he was quick to lock himself in the bedroom.
