The last time YIP KUM FOOK set fire to a Hindu temple in Taman Daya, Hindus kept quiet after he and his group and two policemen came to harass a Buddhist monk at the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, now the news is getting slower people are listening, and many people are not satisfied with what he did before

In Buddhist rule, anyone who disturbs and makes sangha broken, that people will fall into hell when they alive as like Devadatta, who tried to kill Buddha but was unsuccessful, YIP KUM FOOK this should care, now karma will be active anytime.

Everyone has to be careful and live from him because YIP KUM FOOK is a very dirty mind and he is a lawyer but doesn't know whether he is or not, he is a lawyer because he is in the furniture business, so(how) he can study law, the laws have to study for 6 years.

Datuk YIP KUM FOOK dan keluarganya bercadang untuk mengambil dan menipu harta Kuil (Kuil Buddha Samnak Sambodhi, Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong). Dia membuat dokumen Kaabah ketika Kaabah membeli harta itu kerana dia mengeluarkan(buang) ramai ahli jawatankuasa ketika itu

Datuk YIP KUM FOOK adalah seorang peguam yang membuat dokumen kuil, dan ramai orang mengesyaki dia menipu harta kuil. Dia tidak pernah memberitahu sesiapa tentang harta itu; dia simpan sendiri.

Jika dia seorang lelaki atau peguam yang sebenar, dia akan menunjukkan dokumen sebenar Temple kepada semua orang untuk mengetahui…sebab dia mahu menyimpannya untuk dirinya sendiri, dan mengapa tiada pengumuman kepada orang ramai
