As of 2025, the abbot was Preah Kru Bhikkhu Siribalo Yean Samnang (ព្រះគ្រូភិក្ខុសិរីបាលោ យាន សំណាង).[1] In the national Reading Day (ទិវាជាតិអំណាន) of 2024, held by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, he won first place for explaining a topic on the role of Buddhism in promoting moral education and conduct. In 2025 he won second place in the ministry's competition for អត្ថបទឧស្សាហ៍កថា.[1]

The abbot founded the New Resource Center (មជ្ឈមណ្ឌលធនធានថ្មី) and is its director. The center teaches mainly English. The provincial department of education, youth and sport recognized it on June 9, 2016. On May 25, 2025, certificates of English and computer study and letters of praise went to 135 students at a ceremony in the Wat, where Seng Phina, deputy governor of Prek Prasob district, spoke. The abbot also brought 2,000 books and 2,000 pens from donors for the students. The center had 472 students in 2025.[2]
