Prime minister Hun Sen announced on Friday 09 May, the circulation of a new 20,000-riel bill bearing the picture of King Norodom Sihamoni, which will start on 12 May.
This is a “gift” to the son of Norodom Sihanouk – which was decided in common with Chea Chanto, the governor of the National bank of Cambodia – for the occasion of his anniversary which will be celebrated next week.
This bill with the new design, which was submitted to King-father and Queen-Mother, will replace the old 20,000 riels bill (which featured the picture of Norodom Sihanouk) which was judged to be “easily duplicable.”
The older bill will be slowly removed from circulation, Hun Sen indicated while underscoring that Cambodia would not suffer from a riel monetary inflation, and that it was quite the opposite.
Reminding that 700,000 Cambodians currently receive their salary in riels, Hun Sen added that he did everything he could to insure the stability of the riel/dollar currency exchange rate.

congratulations. our new young king is not in active politics so the khmer people from all walks of life love his majesty greatly and dearly. our beloved King, please advice all khmer leaders to unite for the sake of national interest such as peace, prosperity and development. God Bless our Beloved King Sihamoni.
Oh, young King, will you be any kind of help for the miserable Cambodians?
Or are you just a powerless sybolic one who will be terminated by Hun Xen sooner or later? What is the use of YOU? Hun Xen fools you with the thing?
i advice everyone to please read the constitution for the role of the king to understand more. thank you.
he's not 18, he's too old and will die soon, and go to hell with his father, and cpp hunkvak!
the constitustions have no merit!
may our king has a long life...happy birthday...
Alors un petit bonbon pour ce soit-disant P.D prince pour avoir voulu d'etre volontairement le valet des Viets!
Il vaudrait mieux dire "l'esclave des Viets" au lieu de "le valet des Viets"!
Hi kaune king kong,
How are you? I know you born by hun xen so you have to follow your dady. He gave you some money so you have to sing more treaty and give more land to youn when prince king kong come back to srok Khmer next life or soon if hun xen drunk.
All of you are a great sellmen.
Sihamoni?He is the Youn's King!!!The fooliy and very crazy king does evrything only for Ah Hun Kvang.He is the same his father(crazy = communist).
there is only a king but there is no any work done by the king to help the poor.what is the use of having a king.just waste soo much moneys.
Le Roi Sihamoni (Marionnette de hun sen) est tout simplement ridiculisé par Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen,(lui-même esclave de Hanoï). Rien que le titre de hun sen, ça fait vraiment rire tout le monde.
Tous les deux seigneurs Sihamoni et hun sen sont les chiens de garde de Hanoï, et très surveillées.
You peoples are so weird. You insult someone who did not do any harm to You. We need a king in Cambodia. If not, You'll see, You can't even Cambodia freely.
It's will be like in the 80s.

Your Majesty Samdech Ta former King Norodom Sihanouk,
Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,
Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.
What we need is prevention methods, not to let this type of accident happen again in the future.
It also makes me very worried to see so much alcohol allowed to enter or be produced in our beloved Kingdom of Cambodia? What about “ YA BA “ and other types of DRUGS from Thailand and Vietnam?
Can His Majesty Samdech Ta and Samdech Hun Sen stop all sorts of drugs coming to Cambodia? The accident may not be related to drugs and alcohol but just some thing that I could not sleep peacefully from now on to the future, in the names sake of true Khmer citizen.
Can Samdech Hun Sen kindly ask all 5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants to peacefully return to Vietnam, so Koh Pich will not be too crowded more and more every day, every month and every year to come.
All Vietnamese illegal immigrants can easily come in and settle inside Cambodia even though they already have their own country Vietnam.
When Cambodia is too crowded, definitely we Khmer people can not go to settle inside Vietnam, can we?
Please Vietnamese, you said you came to rescue us from Pol Pot, and you don’t want to return home, it is not right according to 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, can all of you go back to your country now.
Vietnamese illegal immigrants, you see because 5 million of you are inside Cambodia, it makes us too crowded and we wasted our lives at Koh Pich without good reasons.
Your Vietnamese Communism expansionist mind in Cambodia, is to give an excuse to China mainland to occupy your Spratly Islands, Parcel Islands, the whole of your Eastern sea border and perhaps the Northern border sooner or later.
5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia, please go back home to defend your country from Chinese mighty economic invasion.
May I pray to God and the Lord Jesus Christ that those who have lost loved one will be comforted.
My condolences to all the victim's family.
Regards,
Kulen Monorom
