I am accused of being involved in politics because I wish that members of the Royal Family should not!

“I am accused of being involved in politics because I wish that members of the Royal Family should not!”
By N. Sihanouk

Beijing, February 19, 2007

Recently, a Khmer newspaper in Phnom Penh, accused me of violating my promise not to be involved in politics any more, because I wrote an article in which I asked the following question:

“Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for the members of the Khmer Royal Family to abstain themselves from political involvement just like Princes and Princesses in other Kingdoms in the world?”

Am I really being involved in politics when I wish for members of my Family not to be involved [in politics] anymore?

Currently, some newspapers, are turning into “Stars” some SirikMatakian and anti-Sihanouk braggart Princes.

Anti-Sihanoukism and the Lonnolian-SirikMatakian “philosophy” is back in “fashion” in the 21st Century Cambodia.

No one can predict the Future. “Who shall live, shall see! [Time will tell!]”: it’s an old French saying.

As far as I am concerned, I think that I will be in the afterlife shortly.

I will not “live” long enough to “see.”

I am far from being angry!

HOW CAN YOU COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHER ROYAL IN OTHER KINGDOM? YOU ARE NOT A KING. MOREOVER YOU'RE NOT KHMER KING. YOU ARE A CHINESE OR VIETNAMESE.

DO NOT THINK OF YOURSELF AS A KHMER KING FOR Y0U ARE NOT.

YOU FEEL SO BAD THAT YOU COULDD'T HAVE KILLED ALL KHMERS YOU CONSIDERED TRAITORS TO YOUR THRONE.

IN FACT LON NOL NEVER TURN AGAINST YOU. HAD HE HAD COURAGE TO TURN AGAINST YOU, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE RETURNED TO BE KING TODAY. BECAUSE KHMER WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE LAST ONE STANDING TO PREVENT YOU AND YOUR BOSSES FROM TAKING OVER CAMBODIA.

YOU NEVER REALIZED THAT OVER THE COURSE OF 5 YEARS, LON NOL NEVER SAID A BAD WORD AGAINST YOU. THIS COWARD HOPE AND PRAYED THAT YOU ACCEPT THE TERM TO RETURN TO RUN THE COUNTRY.

BUT YOU DIDN'T DARE TO COME BACK PEACEFULLY, BECUASE YOU'VE ALREADY FUCKED UP CAMBODIA. YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KILL ALL KHMERS AND REPLACE THEM WITH YOUR CHINESE FREINDS.

GO TO HEEL SIHANOUK. YOU ARE A GROTEST MONSTER, AN EVIL.

With all the money, wealth,and higher education. This guy still can`t take out a one eyed guy who was just a peasant. How Sad. Why won`t he talk about our people in the Mekong Delta? What about Land grabbing? Boy he sure love the Chinese enough to live there. Friendly with the communists who provided all the equipment to kill his own peoples. Sad

This evil is a killer not a king, a king of the killer. He is a liar and selfish man. Even if he comes this close to the end of his life he still does not know how to conduct himself. How dumb! Kids know how to behave better than him. Although he tries to clear or clean his name from the bad list the world has learned enough about him. We all know that this guy oredered many intellectuals to be killed just because they criticized him or his policy. Sam Rainsy's father (Sam Sary), Eav Keh, Preab En... just to name a few were his victims. How sad!

Hey, stop pick on the Khmer's Ex-King, Ah Khmer-Yuouns Traitors.

Hey knucklehead Vietcong @7:07PM. Just for your stupid head info, there is no such thing as Khmer-Yuons. Yuon is Yuon, Khmer is Khmer. If you refer to Khmer Krom as Khmer-Yuon, you are a very very very very very ignorant Vietcong. So get lost. You are on the wrong side of the border. Get to the order side of the Ho-Chi-Minh trail.
