Former monarch, King Norodom Sihanouk, was severely criticized by elder people – from both his supporters and those who oppose him – for not providing a good role model to other younger generation of Cambodian elders.
In a recent interview with RFA, the last former president of the Khmer Republic regime, 94-year-old General Saukam Khoy, said that Cambodian leaders should look at the example set by leaders in neighboring countries on this issue.
General Saukam Khoy said: “Look at foreign countries, how do they behave in these foreign countries? Are they behaving like (these Cambodian leaders) or not, around Cambodia and far away from Cambodia? Did you see their State leaders singing, dancing like mere commoners and artists? Is it OK to behave this way? There’s no need to look at state leaders, even just for provincial governors, do they sing and dance like this? We should look around also, we should act properly also. Each time, one sings and dances, how much money does it cost?”

his mental, what else? or he is happy to become the King of 3 countries, Yuon, Cambodiaaa and Loa.
He should have chosen to sing and dance instead of accepting to lead the country as his career along time ago if he thinks he's an artist. Now, his son, the so called "king" is in the same position. He is a dancer and not a leader. Lately, there have been kings who love to dance and sing, this is why Cambodia lost so much land and suffers endlessly. Cambodian leaders should take the king jeyvaraman VII as role model who brought prosperity, security and land to the nation. On the contrary, sihanouk an his family all they care about is sing, dance, and land is being lost each day. One of the responsibilities for a person who wants to lead country is to think about how to make the country better each day, not worry about making movies and singing. This is why we are slave to youn. They know Khmer's weakness. They know that our leaders want money so that they can sing and dance. So they give the money to powerful leaders to repress to poors so that the poors can be their slave. This is to show you how stupid our leaders are.
which king/leader you know who does not sing and dance? Every body does, but most do it privately. Sihanouk does it accssionally, but publicly. you guys are sick. no thing ot do but critise him for singing. come on.
hun sen does the same. he compose songs. kam khoy was the "worse" in that regard during the r.p time. now 94 he is too old to do anything like that.
That is his problem, he sing and dance in public hoping for people to admire and tell him how great he is. He wants others to put him in the pedestal. He lacks self confidence and self esteem. He has a psychological problem, and his problem makes millions suffer and loose so much land. Other leaders sing and dance as well, but at the same time, they think about how can they make their country bigger and stronger in order to survive and have a happy life. On the other hand, our leaders what can I do to have money so that I can sing and dance. As a result, the king gave land to youn and hun sen and Khmers are youn's slave. This is to show you how stupid our leaders are.
People are different and General Saukam Khoy shouldn't go around telling people how they should behave to be happy! No Cambodian people expect King Sihanouk to behave like the Vietcong and the Thaicong leaders who are constantly looking down on Cambodian people!
What King Sihanouk does with his time is his provocative and he can sing and dance anyway he please as long as his activities doesn't interfere with Cambodian politic!
Listen! King Sihanouk is old enough to know how to behave and beside this is his last stage in life and he has every right to enjoy life the way he always wanted!
It is too bad that General Saukam Khoy is not a natural born artist...he is not a movie producer, not music writer, not a playboy, not a politician and so he will always find shortcoming in his life therefore he has to blame other people for his unhappiness!
Since King Sihanouk is a natural born artist and he can sing and dance all the way to grave!
By the way, if people have the money to spend to have fun such as sing, dancing and drinking and they are paying for it and why bother! I have to assume that the 94-year-old General Saukam Khoy is one broke arse guy!
This is a good feedback for all Khmer leaders regardless of King Sihanouk.
Especially those ministers in Cambodia who like young girls, cock-fighting, drink, dance and sexxxx......
KY
From 11:55AM to KY
I said only singing, dancing, and drinking (moderate) and anything beside that such having underage girls and cock-fighting needs to be condemned!
Please remember that we human are very social animal and dancing, drinking, or even having sex is very important part of human social behavior! Why do you deny yourself of good things in life?
12:23PM
I don't get you, but it seems your solution is not clear...
However, Cambodian law condemn only weak people, but stronger or powerful men are free of laws...
This is a nature of Hun Sen administration....
KY
THIS AUNT FUCKER SIHANOUK WHEN HE SING HIS TONE SOUNDS LIKE A CHINESE SING CAMBODIAN AND HE ONLY CAN SING IN A LOW PITCH,WHICH IS VERY DULL... LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE ADVIL WHEN HE SINGS!

Prosperous Singapore's leaders also sing and dance. :-)
Sihanouk should be born to be "rei" not people or leader.
This dick head Sihanouk is not singing, it barkings, it does not care about Cambodia.
The quicker this basdard die, the better for Khmer.
Khmer is ashamed to have it borns on our land.
OK this can compete with Holly wood, ....
Ong leung is a best actor, dancing singing.. Comngrat...
My uncle Ho was not like this....

When it come down to an old age, the khmer like to say this;" kbal kanchass pon noeung heuy min kit tov wat tov wa te, kit tai chreang doch kaun khmeng.". But what should the khmers people expect ? this empty head x-king is a sex maniac, a womanizer, a weirdo former chief of state who loved French's food and pro communist .
Sihanouk=Puoss léb kangkèb=2000 000 killed

Just one more civil war will clear these brainless leaders in Cambodia.
he is called a playboy king for a reason.........all this bastard care are : dancing , singing , drinking , fucking ......joie de vivre....regardless the welfare of the poor cambodian people .......go to hell ah sdach moha kbot chheath
SING and DANCE it not a crime in most countries laws. But many others that Sihanouk committed is
wrong. When he stayed over night outside city, he order to have minor virgine girls to sleep with him, that sick on the head.
9:51PM any prove for it, or you just stupid!
Any way Shihanouk is an over paid artist!
We Cambodia are paying to much for his lousy song and movie!
Sihanuk>Polpot>Sihanuk>Hun Sen>Sihanuk.
They are all the Killer
Sihanuk kill Preap In,Sao Nguy, Chau Bory, Preap In and the khmer Samlaud. Si a noruk order pol pot to let khmer out of Phnom Penh in 1975 Because he don't want to see people who kick him out during Kmer republic.
Pol pot follow sihanuk direction,
kill a couple million of khmer people.
Hun Sen Follow sihanuk, demagogue,
kill Piset pulika, Sam Vichea and
a lot people in N. Assembly ...etc..
They all a coward killer
Had I given up the throne and taken up singing full-time....
But I want everything not something.
But you make poeple sick with your song and movie! They are in very bad taste!
I don't want to say it like "the king is naked" but to be truefull to you my xKing!
hey, that's why he removed Sin Sisamouth, and now he still believes that he can sing and maybe someday before he die, he'll be able to seel a record or two.
I'll buy his record if he produce any?
blame blame blame....
Go do something for the country. The king is at his frail stage, let him live his last life. Bringing the past only bring flame and it gets to no where.
Get together and do something before Vietcong swallow their last meal.
He is the controversial king. He always put himself in the news of troubling. That is not the role of the king. I just wish he do something nice for the country so people can have something good to think of him.
What a good father of xihanouk,80% of Cambodian having breakfast worry about dinner,from day to day youn invading cambodia and looting Khmer's land,sihanouk and hun sen is happy to see that happened.
I wish these leaders care about their nation first like neighboring country and others countries around the world so that after they die Khmer nation can commemorate them as Khmer's heroes in their heart.In these day Cambodians are very shame of their leader's behavior already
I have checked in the internet I never seen or hear like our present leaders that why their countries is in good shape.
don't forget:if you have your own people,you have land, when you have land you have king or Prime minister,if you want to have good people you have to have good gov.
Please trust your own people,don't trust hyenas...and please stop them before too late,otherwise Cambodia will became
like Champa,Lao and K.krom.
To 11:22Am
