King-Father's Communiqué

Translated from French by Luc Sâr
Communiqué
From
Norodom Sihanouk

Beijing, February 12, 2007, at 11:20 PM

1- I do not hold any power. I have no power on the Royal Family or other. I have no power to force members of the Royal Family or others to do this or that.

2- If a Prince (or Princess) decides to participate in politics, he (or she) absolutely has the right to do so.

3- I have “fans” who adore my “Internet Website.”

These “fans” wish to be able to read, each day, on this website a handwritten article from their Samdech Euv.

Thus each day, I must find for them something as a topic to write about.

Now, I cannot talk to them about my dogs all the time!

I had, one day, the bad idea to write a “text” on “the Princes and Politics.”

Regarding this bad “text,” I apologize to the Princes and other people who had “counter-attacked” and criticized the old Sihanouk with a noted and notable virulence (sic!)

(Signed) Norodom Sihanouk

Dear Samdech Euv,
This the law of Karma....What goes around & it comes around.
The Universe had given you the big chance to lead the nation of Khmer but you failed this mission by yourself, no one else to blame.
When you closed your eyes and think
what you have done to this Nation !...You're human beings of course,no such a perfect world but
so far you like to bring Cambodia & its people with you when you die.

Cambodia is belong to every-Khmer,not to you nor your royal families.

Why are you torturing her so much ? Don't you think it enough for her suffering,my dear Samdech Euv ?

Sok Sann’s Response to the Communique de N. Sihanouk
1. Obviously N Sihanouk is not respected by his sons, daughters, nieces, nephew, brothers, and sister. That why he has no power on his royal family members.
2. Their right is guarantee by constitution
3. Next time N Sihanouk should think before publish a paper on his website.
