King-Father: it was not me who proposed or thought about this royal amnesty [for Ieng Sary]

Translated from French by Luc Sâr
“The royal Amnesty”

By N. Sihanouk

Constitutional Kings and Queens have, according to some people, the “power” to grant amnesty to X or Y or Z.

However, the most respected and the most prestigious Queen in the world (H.M. Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom), must consult and obtain, in advance, the pleasure and the agreement from the Country’s Prime Minister before she “can” grant the amnesty to X or Y or Z.

Regarding the “royal” amnesty granted to Mr. Ieng Sary, it was not me who proposed or thought about this amnesty, but it was the co-Prime Ministers, Samdech Hun Sen and Samdech Norodom Ranariddh, who took the initiative to officially ask the King to sign their Kret/Kram (decree) granting the famous amnesty to Mr. Ieng Sary.

The King reigns but does not govern. He (and his Parents) must not be involved in politics or be involved in any State affairs, or any political, governmental or state problems.

(Signed) N. Sihanouk

Why don't you just write a fucking novel and sell it, so you can supplment for your future death expense.

You're fucking exasperating everyone throughout Cambodia and abroad. Now, it's time to stop, and start thinking about your future death arrangement. If you can do just that, I promise that I will attend your future wake.

Both our August, Great and Valorous King and our reigning King have not been able to fulfill their constitutional duties well yet.
If they “must not be involved in politics or be involved in any State affairs, or any political, governmental or state problems” as our first King has claimed, which many people have disagreed all along, could he not have acted and can the reigning monarch act more forcefully to “protect rights and freedoms for all citizens” through the courts of law, ensure the independence of the judiciary through the Supreme Council of the Magistracy which the reigning King chairs, and ensure the proper workings of public authorities through the government itself?
These are amnong the reigning King's duties as stipulated respectively under Articles 132, 9 and 8 of our Constitution.

Human rights freedoms and judicial independence are not politics or State affairs, or political or state problems. The proper functioning of public authorities may be governmental problem, but all are the affairs and problems ordinary people are facing and coping with everyday.

The King shall exercise his rights at least as a member of Cambodian society. He can champion rights and justice campaign for his Kaun Chao.

Even an ordinary citizen can do it, why not the King?

The King reign, and is not the one who just sit on throne and sign Royal Decree. He is not the puppet of the government or politicians.

Let's be grateful of his politics, which brought Cambodians to the U.S. and third countries, although he had to break so many eggs before the omalette can be made.

I thought that Sihanouk said a while ago that he would no longer be writing any letters of making any more statements, no one was to send him gifts or requests for interviews. And yet here he is harping on again, always trying to exonerate himself from one event or another that he most definitely had a dirty hand in.

He must be getting paranoid/worried that his legacy (of lies) is in jeopardy

Everything caused by Sihanouk constantly. Just like the KR, Election of 93. HUN SEN lost, Sihanouk called HUN SEN back and kicked his opponents out. Sihanouk didn't think when Ranarithd and HUn sen asking him to sign the decree??? Come on, why he continue to bring all Cambodian citizens to hell???

I think it is enought to swear at semdach auv. All of us should be civilised by now. If we have evolved to be civilised we would not be using the kind of words. I used to do the same and those same words tell people more about me than Sihanouk himself. Sometimes have you ever wish that you could take hold of his soul so to understand why he did certain thing. Certainly he has a lot of unfinishing business and his life is far to short to fulfil his dreams. Let him talk. Let him express his views. He maybe telling lie, yet he might be telling the truth. It up to us to analyse. I wish I could sit next to him and listen to all of his reasons. If we can get all the answers to the word 'WHY'than no more question to be asked.

My beloved Khmers!

Sihanouk is selfishly attempted to be perfectly appropriate for the heavenly social setting and ruling of his Mighty reputation, and he is also passionately wished to be infinitely morally supperior to all the kings of God-kings, including Hun SenVarman 7 1/2.

Unfortunately and evidently speaking, "Power" is one of the greatest tempations for Sihanouk. Therefore he is not only unconscietiously, but arrognantly succumbed to greed. Sihanouk is infuriatingly willing to do almost everything in his passion for Power. Unashamedly, his bleeding heart is always continuously filled with jealousy, obsession, aggression, and hatred.

Actually, King Sihanouk should never mention about the king/queen of England, because he has no value to be compared with them.

So, the king has zero responsibility to his citizen's well being because he reigns but does not rule.

Any unlawful or despicable act committed to Khmer, as long as it is santioned by the prime minister is thus permissible?

Can't the king say what's wrong or what's right?

If he can't defend his citizen from injustice then what is the point of being king? or the monarchy?

You're just an ordinary pathetic idiot whose job is to rubber stamp anything without question and not a valorous king as you claimed.

The King will never say what's wrong with his evil acts, but he will keep saying about his righteous acts.

There's no other kings in the world is as cheap and irresponsible and coward as King Sihanouk of Cambodia. Every time the country falls in great danger because of his reckless mistake, he runs out, leaving behind the unsolved problems. Succ a sucked King deserve NO respect from the Khmer people.

Samdach ov,

You don't need to talk much if you can do good things for our Mother land just do it now. All you could do is bring back together all Khmers Nationalist to work together except Khner's youn and all the traitors. You go out of the country( not China) then you can broad cast from the radio for all kaune chavs to joint shoulders to fight with Khmer's youn and pouk kbat cheat. Think about our country first before anything else.
WE ALL WILL BE PROUD OF YOU as JAYAVARMAN 7th.

If it's good or right, it's the work of sihanouk. He would claim credit for that. But, if it's bad or wrong or fucked up, it's someone else, it's not his responsibility.

It doesn't matter how an amnesty is granted to Ieng Sary. The rule of law must be uphold at all cost, that is it is illegal to trial Ieng Sary twice over Khmer Rouge crime.
