My beloved Son,
1- Regarding the “Monument of Independence” logo, the “neo-Funcinpecists” noted that I never said anything when You used it, and furthermore, You affixed Your portrait on this “Monument” “as if You were the Father of this Independence” – sic! –. Under these conditions, it is difficult for me to prevent the neo-Funcinpec to use as “logo” the picture of the concerned Monument.
2- I wrote You that Funcinpec belonged to You and that You could do “whatever You want” with it.
Therefore, if anybody has the right to “dissolve” the Funcinpec, it is You, SKP Norodom Ranariddh, [who can do it,] not me (N. Sihanouk) who is not the Owner of Funcinpec.
Highest consideration.
With my endless affection.
(Signed) N. Sihanouk

Sihanouk! At least your first response in regard to the logo is reasonable.
But for your second point is totaly out of touch from reality, the party can only formed with a group where the constution was an internal agreement between you and the (your word) smaller people, but that does constitute the right for you to own the aprty neither to pass on the your son without any election.
May be you are too old to learn about democracy, but at least have some respect for others.
What is so special about the " Monument of Independence" ? I think anyone could use the logo. The monument was designed by Van Mollyvan, however, the masterpiece come from the temple of Bakong in Siem Reap. If you go to Bakong, it looks similar in Vimean Ekareach.
