Phnom Penh - Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni accompanied his elderly parents, former king Norodom Sihanouk and Queen Mother Norodom Monineath, to Beijing Wednesday. Royal palace cabinet member Oum Daravuth said the royals will undergo routine medical tests, and King Sihamoni will return to Cambodia next week, although his parents will stay on for an unspecified time.
Sihanouk, 85, has twice beaten colon cancer and suffers from a range of other ailments including diabetes and high blood pressure. Earlier this year Foreign Ministry sources said his wife, Monineath, had also had a health scare, although they did not give details.
Sihanouk last returned from China last April to celebrate Khmer New Year and stayed on to commemorate the anniversaries of Cambodia's independence from France, his own birthday and his son's coronation anniversary at home.
He abdicated in favour of his son in 2004, citing his advancing age and ill health, and has lived in Beijing most of the time since.

Khmer Rouge UN-backed tribunal: You forgot to apprehend the ring leader (the former king). Oblivion of you duty and responsibility are not an option. This is a cataclysmic and colossal failure of the UN; failure is not an option.
It is not my belief per se that the UN dig the grave deep enough, which led me to believe the unreasonalbe releasing of the ring leaders (the king and the like-son-like-father figure)when they should have apprehended these responsible individuals.
Where is the justice for Cambodia?
