According to a source, former Cambodian monarch, King Norodom Sihanouk, plans to leave Cambodia to Beijing, the People’s Republic of China, on 28 November, so that Chinese doctors can check his health.
At the same time, King Norodom Sihamoni, his son, also plans to accompany his parents to Beijing also.
Oum Daravuth, a high-ranking official of the royal cabinet of the royal palace, told RFA: “Normally, for his health checkup, he (King-Father) must follow it up. At the appointed time and date, he must enter the hospital. If during the checkup, there are some issues that arise, they will check some more, if there are none, he will return back sooner, this is how it is. The king will travel with his parents also.”
Oum Daravuth said that the former monarch plans to remain in Beijing as prescribed by his Chinese doctors, but that King Sihamoni could stay in Beijing between one week to 10-day only before returning back to Cambodia.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy said on this issue: “All Cambodian people want the 3: King-Father, Queen-Mother, King Norodom Sihamoni, to stay in Cambodia for a long period of time. The longer their presence, the better it is, especially during the period leading to the election, and during the election campaign, when the situation usually becomes really tense.”
Regarding the plan for the former monarch to leave Cambodia, Khieu Kanharith, government spokesman, said that the former monarch’s plan to leave is his usual habit in order to checkup on his health.
Khieu Kanharith said: “The (former) king has his schedule to checkup on his health, and we pray that he has a good health, long life, in order to lead the country, this goes to both the new king and the former king.”
Former Cambodian monarch, 85-year-old King Norodom Sihanouk, announced his retirement on 2004 because of his poor health and his old age.
On 14 October 2004, the council of the throne selected one of his sons, then-Prince Norodom Sihamoni, to become the king, and his coronation was preformed on 29 October 2004.
Even though the former king has retired because of his old age and poor health, he is still considered as a symbol of national reconciliation and unification by Cambodian politicians.

Please try to change your Chinese herbal medicine,check it out thousand years gensen,do not use the cheap one
Certainly, his departure spurs NRP scrum.
Good for Somdech Ta to take a rest and enjoy your peace.
Somdech Ta's leadership legacy is fully implemented by Hun Sen.
Somdeach Ta's leadership legacy is out of date, and Cambodian younger generation has seen Somdech Ta's leadership style as only used by uneducated leaders.
