The Thomicoian Party through the eyes of King-Father

Funny Story

A Grandiose Political Program
By N. Sihanouk

Phnom Penh, June 22, 2006

Some large Phnom Penh newspapers ([published] in English, French, Khmer) had recently written and published articles featuring as celebrity H.R.H. Prince Sisowath Thomico, a.k.a. Thomy.

I told my nephew and adopted son Thomy that his grandiose political Project included a bad idea: that to fight the CPP. Thomy “changed his aim.” Now, today, we have this marvelous and intimidating Program in 3 steps:

1. Thomy unifies the “Small Parties.”
2. Thomy builds a big Party by adding the SRP, and the (pitiful) Funcinpec which are added to the “Small Parties”.
3. This new “Big” Thomicoian “Party” will propose to the (colossal, and in my opinion, unbeatable) HunSenian CPP a cooperation (sic!) Pact. What compassion from the part of Thomy who will come (maybe) to “forget” the great and monumental H.E. Sam Rainsy.

“The Thomico Affair”
By N. Sihanouk
Phnom Penh, June 29, 2006

Some officers of the National Police and others look to see if N. Sihanouk is behind H.R.H. Sisowath Thomico in his political action, activities, projects, plannings, etc…

Since my youth up to now, and up to my death, I never lack courage and intellectual honesty, and simple honesty. I do not need a Thomico or other to do or say what I want to do or say.

Don’t let me be taken for a coward or an idiot!

N. Sihanouk
