The appeal came after Sihanouk issued a notice on May 10 asking that his movies no longer be shown. He said recently some people showed his movies with the intention to criticize him.
Ministry of Information undersecretary Ea Pannasith, who is in charge of television affairs, said he still supported the former king's movies.
As a young prince and king, Sihanouk was renowned for his films, which he would screen at a guesthouse in Siem Reap, among other places. The films are capsules from Cambodia's heyday, when French influence and modern thought found purchase in a newly independent nation untroubled by war or genocide.

I think at present Cambodia has so much problems to be solved.
-Corruption
-Landgrabbings by the rich and powerfull.
-Illegal immigration
-Public security
-public health and education
-Unemployment and unliveable wages and salary.
-Deforestation.
-Anarchy of police and military at peace time.
THe outdate movie should be out from discussion. People are presently suffering from hungry, they don't have any good mood to watch such a movie withour meaning !!! Areak Prey
AGREE 100%.
True, but if we can fixed the
unemployed issue, most of the other
issues will faded away by itself.
Hello 11:40Am, No way CPP can fix all other issues included unemployment issue. Each person just like a shark and a crocodile waiting for foods. They ate investors alive without leaving any clothes left, how come they can solve all of these issues?Areak Prey
You're wrong, 12:37, we have been
hailed by World Bank, ADP, ...,
and other NGOs for sucessfully
reduced poverty, but we need more
focus on Unemployment, not so much
on the other issues. You'll be
surprised to see what happened when
people are busy working. Many other
issues will be illiminated by
itself once that happened. There
will be less crimes; there will be
less drug addict; there will be
less deforestation; ... ; and the
list go on and on.
1.30 PM, Yuon Kampuchun, Yes, the long list of 70% of young jobless will go on.
Whose cares about these movies created by this playboy king? He only cares about his movie making and his song making, and never cares about Khmer people lives. He only thinks about himself and his family to make sure his palace is in his hand even he has 1 acre land left as long as he is in the title of stupid Khmer king.
So why he cries about pulling out his movie? Go ahead and whose cares to see. Only his royal stupid Khmer people who still follow him until they died agreed. These idiot and stupid Khmers never learned history and they're uneducated people.
8:11, that is why we need more
companies to come into Cambodia.
Isn't that right?
