Translated from Khmer by Socheata

An official from the NRP said that King Sihamoni authorized NRP delegates, led by Prince Norodom Chakrapong, the NRP vice-president, to meet him as requested. Muth Chantha, NRP spokesman, said the 19-preson delegation will meet with the king on Sunday 12 May, in order to hand over to him a petition bearing the thumbprints of about 200,000 people requesting the king to pardon Prince Ranariddh. The prince was sentenced to 18-month jail for breach of trust in the sale of the Funcinpec party headquarters. Prince Ranariddh is currently in self-exiled overseas. In an interview with VOA on Friday evening, the prince claimed that his sentence is politically oriented. The prince added that he is not as bad as Ieng Sary, the Khmer Rouge leader whom Hun Sen requested the pardon for from King Sihanouk in 1998.

    Alright, alright, let's get it
    over with and move on. That is
    the King must back up his family
    at all cost. And Somdach Ranarith
    needs to stop playing game. What
    else is so difficult about the
    case.

    I guess he fits right in with Cambodian kingdom government. Fews government workers took bribes but not punished and still hold top government jobs.
    Poor Cambodian poeples!!

    The King and I.

    If I were the King, I would seek high level of legal counsel before I reach to the conclusion to pardon my half brother.
    If I were to pardon my half brother without any logical reason like my father used to do, the world would see me as a dick head.
    By the way, it is about time that I should find a person with a good heart to settle down.

    During his crownation, the King has made it clear that he won't let himself to associate with all crooked people who beg him for their own wealth and their own luck. But this time he has a hard time to decide with his own brother !!!!!! What can he do ? Areak Prey

    3:40, in this case, if you don't
    pardonned your half brother, you
    will look like the Dick Head also.
    So what difference does it makes?
    Your best action is to do what
    everyone does. That is to pardonned
    your half-brother, then kick his
    ass in private and hope he will
    never put you through the same shit
    again.

    Hey, where did I said that I want
    to be king?

    Anyway, The throne should go to
    100% real Khmer only. I think
    Sihamoni is tooo Frenchy. I don't
    like his mentality. He don't bail
    out Khmer people who trapped by
    the flaw in our laws like that case
    that I mentioned about the father
    caught the rapist in the act of
    raping his daughter, and the father
    killed the rapist to protect his
    daughter. The true Khmer's King
    would never allowed that man (the
    girl's father) to spend the day in
    jail. Do you know what I mean? But
    because Shihamoi is a fucking
    French, we now have two people
    who are hurting: The girl raped by
    the rapist and being separated from
    her beloved father who saved her,
    and the father jailed for 18 years
    just for saving his own daugther.
    How much more evil can this be?

    The king is a good model for the people. He is neutral, impartial but he is not a puppet of anybody. By creating the so- called "royalist parties" those princes are destroying the Monarchy.

    You are racist, you hate the "Yuon". For me I hate corrupt officials and Vietnam's slaves. I think it's better for our sons to marry Vietnamese girls than the girls of those degusting CPP officials. At least they are clever and they are the Masters of the CPP.

    Agreed, so long you are realistic
    about your claims. That is there
    are some corrupted officials, but
    not everyone. Otherwise, you would
    never see any new bussinesses in
    Cambodia.

    I wonder why the King keeps his head shaved. Was it that he likes to imitate Yul Bruner or Chow Yen Fat in the King and I?
    Very shallow indeed.

    He's ball headed, so it looks
    better for him to shave his head.
    Plus, it is also in fashion now
    days.
