Former King Norodom Sihanouk hopes to return to Cambodia ahead of national elections next year, a Royal Palace representative said Friday, following concerns of political instability in the absence of the former monarch.
However, Oum Daravuth, a member of the royal cabinet, said Sihanouk's return depended on his doctors in Beijing, where he is undergoing medical checkups.
The king hoped to continue to be an "umbrella" for the people, Oum Daravuth said.
King Norodom Sihamoni, who accompanied Sihanouk to the Beijing, will return to Cambodia Dec. 12, Oum Daravuth said.
Many Cambodians consider the presence of royalty during potentially turbulent political times a positive sign.
Oum Daravuth also sought Friday to quell rumors Sihanouk would try to form his own political party ahead of national parliamentary elections, scheduled for July 2008.
The former monarch has repeatedly denied such rumors, Oum Daravuth said.

A6,
Who care if Sihaknuk not returns to Cambodia save more money for poor than waste to the leach and parasides. The end of the monarchy of Cambodia.
Sihanouk, you should stay and die in China.
You are not khmer anymore since 1970.
Every county is going forward , but Cambodia is remaining in the year zero with a regime of gangsters (Hun sen) .
Youns Hanois are invading our country.
So cambodians will stay in poverty and maybe disappeared because of Sihanouk.
