Beijing 06 January 2008

Respected and beloved Compatriots, Brothers and Sisters, Children, Grandchildren, Great-grandchildren

The movement, dubbed “MONATIO” by their authors, did exist in April 1975 in Phnom Penh city.

As for the movie titled “MONATIO” which I asked H.E. Ieu Pannakar and his filming crew to shoot the first act at the Independence Monument in Phnom Penh, some journalists and kids criticized me, Norodom Sihanouk, very severely. For example, The Cambodia Daily newspaper wrote: even Cambodian children said that the Khmer Rouge wouldn’t dress up wearing expensive and elegant boots like this! These Khmer Rouge are not mean at all and they know how to laugh, be happy, and are courteous to others like this!

To these very wicked and unfair criticisms, I am stating that the MONATIO movement did not constitute of Khmer Rouge at all. The leader and members of the MONATIO movement were almost all children of the pro-Lon Nol Khmer Republic elite, they were not Khmer Rouge. They wanted to joke around by dressing up in black, just like the color used by the Khmer Rouge. At the end, the MONATIO group was taken to be killed by the Khmer Rouge when they won over the Lon Nol Khmer Republic group, on 17 April 1975.

Because I had bad feelings about cinematography, I am informing our Compatriots both inside and outside the country that, from now on, I stop producing movies.

Thank you very much,

(Signed) Norodom Sihanouk

Sihanouk,
It takes much of sorrows to awake an imbecile like you to stop from humiliating own people at your own halfhearted inhumainty.

Enough,from 1941-2006,you alone put Cambodia in such shame and indignified place on world map.

You have no face to boast nor criticize no one whether kid or adult,you are the only imbecile man who were king then commoner then killer of people who gave their hearts to you.

Stop completely and wait to die somewhere outside Cambodia,you idiot.

BEDTIME STORY of once upon the time: In the Kingdom far and far away....The smart king told his grandchild a bedtime story that:

I decided to stop making sensitive comment because it created unhappy among some politicians.

I decided to stop receiving my long time friend's writing because it created uneasy among politicians.

I decided to stop seeing politicians because I don't want to create misunderstanding.

I decided to stop shooting the film because of I don't know.... The king paused as his grandchild looked upon... The king then said nevermind I skipped this one...

And one more thing left.... If I decide to stop eating, then what happen...... you decide for me this time....The grandchild Oh I know grandpa goes to heaven... the king just laughs....
and Good night.

Compatriots

I wish king father produce a special film of real killing field eventated 1975- 1979 instead.

It would be useful to clarify to victims of crime and demonstrates that who are the real killers, if the king father was not involved.
Also make it known to the world whether khmers have been led to kill khmers, or China and Vietnam were directly or indirectly staged cambodians drama.

Our king father owes our nation an explanation of what had happened in darkest period of Cambodia. The proceeds from film can be of assistance to suffering cambodians.
