It's tough being a North Korean bodyguard for King-Father

This picture of the arrival of King-Father at the Phnom Penh International Airport was displayed by today's edition of the Koh Santepheap newspaper. The caption of the picture reads: "The royal vehicle slowling moving out of the airport." Unfortunately, the newspaper did not provide any details as to whether, King-Father's North Korean bodyguards, seen here following the royal vehicle by foot, had to run all the way from Pochentong to the Royal Palace or not.

So the former king of Cambodia needs foreign bodyguards when he visits the country?

The bodyguards are gifts from the King's former intimate friend, Kim Il-sung, who was the N Korea leader at the time. He (Kim) also built a luxurious villa for the King in Pyongyang.

Every politician in any country needs bodyguards, whether they like it or not. Look at Bush, Merkel, Chirac, ...etc. Cambodia is no different, and in fact, it is more so, because of the volatile political situation over there.

(this is in response to anonymous)

Are you sure that (kim) built a luxurious villa for the exking?4:11
You are the one who put the king toillet on you head. Wath you said is lie.Don't lie the cambodian people please tell the truth. The king did not truth the cambodian even you.

Frankly, I have to agree with
4:11 on the villa because it is
not logical for Somdach Euv to
stay in a hotel. However, I don't
agree with him in comparing a rich
country leaders not requiring body
guards and a poor country leaders
required body guard. This has
nothing to do with the quality of
the leader. Poor country like Cambodia, Laos, and vietnam don't
even have enough cashes to have
enough law enforcements like rich
country does. Therefore, it will
not be wise for poor leaders not
to have body guard.

US secret services further put their lives for the bullets beside chasing the US president's armored pearsing limousine. Don't forget, they were trained to run 20 miles marathon with less than 3 hours. Only 10% fat in their body.

IT'S BETTER THAN THE BODYGUARDS OF AH HUN SEN (CRIMINAL COMMUNIST PRIME MINISTER AGAINST HUMANITY)

BECAUSE BODYGUARDS OF KING FATHER DIDN'T CAUSE TRAFFIC JAMS

Why this Luong Chamkuot{Sihanouk} never hired his own people to be his bodyguard? Maybe this old bastard don't trust his Khmer people.

Politicians and celebreties used body guards to keep unwanted approaches. All used their own naitonal except this so called khmer king who not only not use khmer body guards but also used all foreign national as his personal assistances as well. If that not enough insult, he uses only foreign language to communicate with his so called subjects.

It is beyond comprehension that there are people who called themselves khmers still look up to this man as their "samdech euv".

If you're doing what this monster "king" have done and continues to do today to your own children, they wouldn't call you "euv" any longer. Of course unless your children were born with retarded mentality as those that insist on calling sihanouk "samdech euv".

But, in this world you cannot have everyone at the same level. There have to be bottom feeders and people at the end of the food chain.

Think about it. you must have fathered some children. If not now, then you will in the future. If you do, make sure you're not producing ones having mentallity as some that offer comments above.

Those who think that is fine, have you follow the campaign in france today? Frech was and still is the master of alot of khmers, even today. French want to make sure everyone "french to live in france". And french is not unique. As a matter of fact every nation on this plannet do practice this kind of policy except the rulers of cambodia, kings and commoners alike.

Can anyone make out of these rulers? They must not be khmers, period.

If they are, they would have practice similar policy as france and other nations on this earth and try to assure their national independence.

It is for those calling themselves khmers to rise and over throw these non khmer ruthless rules out of the territory and reclaim their identity, independance and territorial sovereignty.

There is not many choice for khmers today beside overwhelming force that can neutralize foreign dictator force.
The situation is not like india (Mahatma Gandhi), the Phillippines (Benigno Aquino) or Indonesia. They revolt against their own race who would think twice before ordering an indiscriminate massacre. Khmers have to face foreigners, namely vietnamese or chinese or north korean guards, who do not hesitate, not for an even split second, to kill khmers protesters or marchers against their servant rulers.

This picture is proving that Sihanouk is a person of human classes division. He is near to his death already, why he still used this kind of human classes divisions. He seat at a brand new car while his slaves running along side the car. What a stupid man on earth?

Well, that is why Somdach Euv
is one of the best leader to
ever live in South East Asia.
He sacrifices himself for his
people. Just look at the 1993
election, we wont it by a land
slide. He's the only one who can
defeated the CPP in any election.
It is just too bad that he is not
allowed to govern.

Cambodian people read and write khmer and most people didn't know french or english. So who doesn't use Aksar Khmer for the khmer people is not Khmer.Some of our friends who post their comments care about Cambodia about the people.Do you like your country your people become like the country which you are? My friends please use your mind to be in the middle and watch the figtingdog.When the wather is clear you will see who is who.

As for speaking French with Khmer
people, that is bullshit. Who are
you trying to kid here.

Gift from N. Korean is free for the Ex-King but not for Cambodian. In the 90's Korean drug smuggler that is linked to the Korean Government use Cambodian flag (flag of convenience) to conduct many mafia activities within the South East Asian region, the money was used to fund to Communist regime of N. Korean. While the Ex-king see nothing wrong in acceptiong the gift but the favour he gave them in return has destroy the Cambodian name and being used for SINFULL activities. Shame on you who support the Khmer Rouge and now still condone the dictators in and out of the country.
You have to question the motive of his act certainly not for the Cambodian benefit, it's his family and himself.

SIHANOUK does not equate Khmer and Khmer does not equate SIHANOUK. More and more Khmer now recognise that he is not reprenting Khmer any more.
You started to sound more and more like an idiot now. Khmer agressor now is Youn and Hun Sen is the key, so what have you done to defend Khmer?
A side from writing a few articles what can you do and what have you done to denfend Khmer. Shame on you for bragging about dending Khmer when in fact you are defending the Ex-King to polish up your status. You are after recognition and not many Khmer and your peers agreed, you put Khmer down yourself be cause of your self centeredness.

So don't preach you shit to others.

Those who destroyed Cambodia are
not Khmer but criminals. Hun Sen is
the most khmer as any leader can
be in modern history. He's more
Khmer than both Norodom and
Sisowat. He has not been
completely brainwashed by
westerners. Hence, our culture and
tradition is very safe in his
care. On the other hand, if we
were to trust you (gringoes'
slaves) with our culture and
heritage, it will be gone within a
very very short time. So what real
khmer in their right mind would
wanted that?
