The Lao Mong Hay(s)
By N. Sihanouk

Since my birth, on October 31st, 1922, my Maman called in to her home the Hora (fortuneteller) Yok (the No. 1 Astrologer of H.M. Preah Monivong) to look at my horoscope.

Following scholarly calculations, the Hora Yok told my Maman:

“Your son will know the summit of the State of Kampuchea. Unfortunately, all his life long and this, until his death, he will have innumerable ENEMIES, all of them dedicated to extraordinary, as well as, unmerited hatred. But, none of these enemies will be able to defeat him. But, if an enemy were to die or were to stop fighting him due to desperation, other enemies will be born, they will rise to “do all they can” so that, politically, morally, historically, physically, they “sink down” N. Sihanouk. But, rest assure Princess, because your son is “unsinkable.””

I knew “the most powerful” enemy “in the world” in Mr. Richard Nixon, then-President of the USA, who, along with the CIA, were “very, very successful” in the putsch to topple N. Sihanouk and the Khmer Monarchy (1970). But, my horoscope was such that there was the 1974 “Watergate”, which was against President Richard Nixon, and it eliminated him in a historical shame.

Son Ngoc Thanh was anti-Sihanouk at 5,000%, just as is, currently, the famous Dr. Lao Mong Hay, the only difference (between the 2 men) being that Son Ngoc Thanh had much more “importance” than the Dr. Lao Mong hay. Thanh was finally abandoned by the USA and the CIA, and he was thrown away in the wastebasket of history, to the benefit of “the other” pro-USA super-traitor, the so-called “Marshall” Lon Nol.

Sim Var was also anti-Sihanouk at 5,000%. He had to recognize that his “Khmer Republic” regime was 100 (one hundred) times more corrupt than my (Sangkum Reastr Niyum, SRN) regime with the same Lon Nol, Sirik Matak, Cheng Heng, In Tam, Trinh Hoanh in power. Sim Var died in France, during an exile without glory; just as Lon Nol was in the USA.

Sirik Matak had a more terrible ending than those of Lon Nol and Sim var.

Mrs. Billon Ung Bun Hor set herself up as a 500% anti-Sihanouk. Currently (even in this year of 2007), she spends her time acting as a “Joan of Arc” anti-the-non-British-Sihanouk. But, nobody gives any importance to this “Billon” [Note: also means copper coin in French]. There’s only me who can (maybe) “comfort” her somewhat by writing, from time to time, her name in my BMD.

To come back to “Doctor” Lao Mong Hay, he never ceased, for several decades now, to attack me, with a mad passion. In the love language, one writes or says: “I am mad about you” or “I am madly in love with you” or “I love you passionately.”

Regarding Dr. Lao Mong Hay, he hates me, he always hates me with a mad passion. I am adding the qualifier “mad” because his hatred surpasses largely the limit of the “normal.” And when a man is not normal, one says that he is becoming mad [crazy].

In the past, it was impossible to count the articles he had published in the foreign media, mainly Thai (Thailand also hated me with a mad passion, especially after the “Preah Vihear Affair”).

Now, in 2007, the famous Doctor Lao Mong (Hay), “encouraged” by the coming to Cambodia of the UN ECCC, is possessed anew by a very remarkable “passion” (felt) by some, in the “fictitious” anti-Sihanouk expression and acts”.

The BBC usually says (and I am imitating it): “Thank you very much indeed!”

Let’s not forget “indeed”.
