? On the issue of Bogus Monks in Malaysia that has caused immense damage to the image of Buddhism in the country, it was decided that the WFB Headquarters will contact the Royal Thai Embassy in Malaysia to give the contact of the person(s) with the telephone number so that the Regional Centres can call them when the Bogus monks and those ladies dress in white are spotted in the market place selling the holy strings or begging.
