Being almost 86-year-old, I believe that I will die soon. Under this condition, it is “normal” that I often pour out my feelings on my past.
I founded the SRN because of my love for my Homeland, Cambodia, and for her People.
My enemies are saying that it was in reality for my love of Power. After their putsch dated March 18, 1970, the Lonnolians and Sirikmatakians sentenced me to death for “ultra-corruption.”
My worst enemy, Sim Var, following this death sentence by a Lon Nol Tribunal, did not hesitate to write, black on white, in his newspaper which quickly became a “reference,” that under the reign of the Lonnolians, his dear “Khmer Republic” was 100 (one hundred) times more corrupt (sic!) than the SRN “under the reign” of N. Sihanouk.
They sentenced me to death with the confiscation of all my wealth and my Cambodian citizenship.
My wealth? When I was Head of State of Cambodia, my salary amounted to only 80,000 riels per month [approx. US$ 2,700 in the 60s]. And my houses in O Chhoeu Teal, near Sihanoukville, and in Pich Nil (on National Road 4), could only be built through cash donations by H.M. the Queen, my Mother. Later on, I offered the ownership of these 2 villas (O Chhoeu Teal and Pich Nil), as well as my birth home (Teak Sen Phirum) located near the Independence Monument, to the Cambodian State.
The royal villas located in Kirirom belong to the Khmer State.
As for my bank accounts, they are zero in Switzerland, and zero in the UK, in contradiction to the accusations made by the like of In Tam.
Currently (2007), my “estate” in a French bank and in a Chinese bank amounts, in total, to about US$ 150,000 (one hundred and fifty thousand).
Lon Nol, Sirik Matak, Cheng Heng and Co. only knew, before their putsch, the high point of [their] honors, rank and money, thanks to the SRN.
They shot down the SRN and dragged it to the mud, with the help of the like of Bernard Hamel, Charles Meyer, etc…, because the SRN, being one hundred times less corrupt than their “Khmer Republic” – from the (written) confession of Sim Var itself – prevented them to push [too] far their corruption and fought “with too much ardor and seriousness” against all form of corruption. And since the Lon Nol, Sirik Matak, Sim Var, Cheng Heng, Trinh Hoanh, and the like, only dreamt of selling Cambodia to the super powerful and rich USA in order to bring in all kinds of benefits for themselves, these Anti-Sihanouk [people] ended up tolerating the survival of the SRN whose sacred mission was to safeguard at all cost the total independence of the Homeland, its neutrality and territorial integrity.
Last but not least, the Anti-Sihanouk [people] considered as an “unforgivable crime” the choice of Buddhist Socialism, i.e. pro-Little People [ordinary citizens] and anti-Social Justice, i.e. anti-Capitalist.
A “crime” “against the Army”: the rejection of the (too conditional and shameful) aid by Uncle Sam.
Too many unforgivable “crimes.” The sentence to death on Sihanoukism (SRN) became unavoidable.
“Alas” for them, these super-intelligent Lonnolians, Sirikmatakians, Simvarists, did not foresee the State Power grabbing in Kampuchea by the Khmer Rouge, nor the vile defeat of their Boss, the USA, on April 17, 1975.

Would you please kindly repost your email address again?
Thank you.
KI reader
Amen, your highess, Somdach Euv.
Hi Socheata,
Thank you very much.
To revenge back to Sirikmatakians & Sivarists....Xihanouk,the Father of Khmer-National,had joined forces with Youn-Hanoi & Khmer-Rouge Butchers to wipe out more than 2 million Khmer innocent's lives....And he called himself : " I'am a Patriot ! whom ever are against me, are the Treators of the Nation !"
So then, how do you proposed the
Ex-King get his revenge, through
peacefull demonstration?
Get real, dude, the backstabers
will executed him on first site.
Actually, he thought he could get
his throne back, but it didn't
turned out as he anticipated it.
Like I said there are many failed
plans out there, and it is unfair
for you to pick on him because
you are bias toward the US.
Your highly insane,SRN came into picture because of hypocrisy and incompetence to stand up to foreigners.
Who sucked Nixon pinky in 69?Who plotted Salvation Government to take charge of your despicable faults?
Who asked US to bomb Cambodia in 68?
Who had you killed by firing squads?Who had you covered as dead in 67 at Pich Nil?
Who are you kidding here,all functionaries then if they did not suck up to your egocentric,they would be killed too.In Tam was a sray dog that you had it out there to bite Republicans and Khmer Bleu
Come off it your hind-ness,what do think with head or little head? Dumb king
Vas-y, mourrir..Sihanouk, qu'attends-tu?
Rien ne se perd, rien ne se cree. Laisse le Cambodge et le peuple Khmer tranquille!
La monarchie est une cause perdue pour le peuple Khmer selon mon opinion.
Passer-by Guest
Et toi aussi, traître.
you fuck us up, you will go to hell you know not thing but evil!
It's so sad that HRH had so little money. It's very smart to advice the current King to get nosy with the current oil affiars at thi stime at least and where is his special secret force? or MI6? They need to get their act together.
Dear Dum king the world know your histories. And all the khmer generation today they know who you are! YOU ARE COMMUNIST KING!
Yeah, only the backstabers SISOWATT
Sarimatakis people will know the
Ex-King as Communist King.
Real Khmer will commend goodness
and condemn evilness.
Merde! il ya beaucoup trop de Viets sur KI-media...Merde...Merde...Merde!
Malpt a mes compatriotes Khmer!
Vietcong, go home!
Hun Sen, Go home to Hanoi!
Non, Hun Sen peu rester ici en
Cambodge parce qu'il l'a libéré.
Tu sorte parce que tu na fait rien
pour persone ou pour le Cambodge.
Retourne en Ethiopie, traître.
Traitre? Mdr! Pede...lolz
Puce éthiopienne!!!
