“ In September 1975, President MAO TSE-TUNG of the People’s Republic of China had recommended to the Khmer Rouge Leadership not to ill treat and to always protect Norodom Sihanouk, Norodom Monique Sihanouk, their two children Norodom Sihamoni and Norodom Norindrapong, as well as the people who were to live with me at the Khemarin Palace (the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh). This why the Khmers Rouges spared them, with the exception of my loyal …”
Did Mao mean that the Khmer Rouge could ill treat the rest of the Cambodian people as they actually did? Mao must have already known about the killing of the Cambodian people before he made that recommendation. He and his successors did not recommend the Khmer Rouge “not to ill treat” those people. Instead they provided assistance to the Khmer Rouge to ill treat, that is, kill the Cambodian people.
China must share the responsibility for the massacres of the Cambodian people and the destruction of their society and country. The Cambodian people can claim compensation from China for the suffering under the Khmer Rouge’s rule.
Addendum: The leadership that should not be learned and copied: Our August King Sihanouk seems to think more about his own and his family’s suffering than about that of the Cambodian people whose had suffered no less than him and his family. He and others who associated with the Khmer Rouge do not seem to feel any guilt at all.
I did not associate with the Khmer Rouge. Nor did I live under their rule. But I do feel guilty when I and my family were living safe and secure abroad while fellow countrymen of the entire country were being killed ill treated, and starved to death, and had to work in atrocious conditions. That guilt is following me like my shadow.
Where is Jayavaraman VII’s philosophy “The King suffered from the illnesses of his subjects more than from his own”?
In the book Srey Hitoproteh (a book in the high school curriculum), one learns about a Pigeon King who altogether with his subject pigeons was all caught in a net trap laid by a hunter. The Pigeon King urged all his subject pigeons to fly up in unison together with the trap to seek help from his friend who was a Mouse King to cut up the net and free them from the trap. The pigeons landed in the mouse kingdom. The Pigeon King asked his friend the Mouse King to help cut up the net trap. The Mouse King obliged and ordered his mouse subjects to do the job with their teeth. As the mice were about to start, he subject pigeons requested the mice to cut up the net to free their King Pigeon first, fearing that the mice’s teeth might be worn out before finishing the job, but the King Pigeon refused flat and requested the Mouse King to order his subjects to cut up the net to free his pigeon subjects first. The Pigeon King was the last to be freed.

In the former king statement , has stated he was a prisoner,like the others cambodian people but in Seihaknouk 's personal dairy it doesn't match and it doesn't close to the facts ,folks please read Seihaknouk's lip. All most very Cambodian people were living in the tiny cottages some no roofs some no walls,but for Sheihaknouk ,and his family were the prisoners in their own castle(Khemarin castle) and got no ill treat from Khmer Rouge , if we born uneducated ,ignorance or retarded I think our brain still thinking 1+1=????? Same thing with the prisoner that claim they are jailed in their own house.
$ 100 millions a year for 1.7 century is what we are asking from China for aiding the Khmer Rouge during the year between 1975 -january of 1979 and for just standing there and watch when they knew there were some people killing machine going on right under their nose.
To just putting a few very old men in jail is for bird or KRT = bird. Shut the damm trail down is probably better.
That must be no different from your vacation in abroad from March 1970? Ain't it,comrade?
and Please pay it to every Khmer citizen inside and outside of the county or abroad. You all ( or your Honorable Judges ) know damm well why we had became a displace people, right?! and please charge a fat fee for yourself. You deserve to pull this one right and now!
Thank you so much!
After all these tragedy, it is clearly that the mass killng of innocent people are still less important that the king's drama.
The questions are:
1. In April 1975, did you, the king have any knowledge of, or participate in the decision to kill those surrendered Khmer Republic officials and their families???
2. Were you, the king aware of the tricks used to lure former soldiers and teachers and others to get back inside Phnom Penh to be executed in the first few days of the forced relocation???
3. Since it was obvious that no civilian was allowed to remain in their homes in Phnom Penh, did you, the king inquire and request for justification, or was the king complicit in that decision???
4. With the privileged status given to you, the king by Mao Tse Tung, did at any time, you, the king make any request that all of his people should not be ill-treated???
5. Do you, the king, still feel that many of those who were killed, and many who are now asking for the truth, were and are Lon Nolists, and deserved to be ill-treated???
6. In a larger scheme, where global and regional politics were played-out by big powers, why do you, the king keep on insisting that only the Western countries, USA, in particular should bear the whole blame???
7. What do you, the king personally want to see happen for the justice for those Killing Field victims???
The Killing Field victims did not have any luxury to ask their killers why they deserve death, let alone a trial at the Hague.
Go away trouble makers. Leave us alone. We don't want you in our land.
