Cambodian PM breaks off connection with Prince Ranariddh
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has announced he would cut off connection with Prince Norodom Ranariddh, who is still in self-imposed exile abroad, local media reported Tuesday.
"We have closed the door. I told him the choice, which is the way to come back, but he refused. So, I stopped talking to him. Hun Sen will not help.. if you send a letter, I will return it," Hun Sen was quoted by the Cambodia Daily newspaper as saying.
The premier also told the prince's subordinates not to try to seek any help for him to be able to return to Cambodia, reasoning that the prince has made too many requests in regards to his return, the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper said.
However, Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) spokesman Muth Chantha, denied NRP has been begging Hun Sen for help on behalf of their leader, adding that the way for the prince to return is not through Hun Sen and that only King Norodom Sihamoni could help the prince, according to the Khmer-language newspaper.
"We must respect the constitution and the King. The King can grant a pardon-not the prime minister," he was quoted by the Cambodia Daily as saying.
However, Funcinpec spokesman Nouv Sovatharo said that the prince still has an opportunity to return if he chooses Funcinpec to help him, the Cambodia Daily said.
Earlier this year, Ranariddh, son of Sihanouk, was sentenced to 18 months in jail in absentia by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court over corruption charges filed by Funcinpec. Before the verdict was made, the prince left Cambodia and has stayed overseas ever since.

like his father this prince, never admitted he had done wrong or made any mistake because he think I have a Royal's blood and who care Khmer people dead for them. He just run like a dog when he has any a little trouble to France/ Malaysia.
Poeples, please get off the pot. Ranarith is nothing but pain is the neck. He shall stay where he at and live the rest of his life. I am so sick even see his face on the news.
These two clowns looks like monkeys in chine pahee(chinese magician in cambodia selling herbs). The stupid prince should stay outside of the country, so he can't split the votes.
I think Ranarith can be an asset to Cambodia if we can trust him. I don't know about other people, but for me, I won't trust him with shit.
I'm v8,Norodom Ranariddh,is a thief...the rfa report that he took off with 20,millions us dallor to buy him self a luxurious condommimun in thia,Island.this is show how proud he is to be an Cambodian,all the leaders that they claim they want to help cambodia,that not true!!they just painted cambodia,image for world donations that all.in my life time I wish to see one..a once true loving leader that take nothing from us!!and give everything to us!!
Well, no one ever denied some bad apples on our three, but you needn't to cut down the entire tree and spoil it for everyone like you did in the 70's.
It is very insulting to publish such a photo of Prince Rannoridth of the good old day because right now he is crying and crying and he will never stop crying like a baby!
2:00AM you get to be kidding.
How do you know he's crying.He got 20 millions and beautiful Phalla. Hey if i were him, i would say the hell with politic and my motto is; LIFE IS PARTY, SEX, BEACH,FIRST CLASS TRAVELING,YATCHING,CRUISING you name it.......
If Ranariddh get 20 millions US, I bet the big bro get 200 millions US.
