Hero-King Norodom Sihanouk announces his wealth

King-Father Norodom Sihanouk "of Cambodia"

24 August 2008

By Kesor Raniya Radio Free Asia
Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Former King Norodom Sihanouk issued a communiqué from Beijing on Saturday 23 August reporting about all his current wealth.

The communiqué showed that he has a bank account at the Palatine Bank in Paris with an amount of euros 30,313.28 which is about US $45,000.

Furthermore, the former Cambodian Monarch owns a small villa in Siem Reap, which, following his death, will be bequeathed to his wife Queen Norodom Monineath Sihanouk. It will also be an inheritance for King Norodom Sihamoni following King-Father’s death.

As for King-Father’s birth house located near the Monument of Independence, he allowed the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to use it until 2014, and then he will donate it to the state. After 2014, his birth house will be turned into another national museum.

As for the Chang Su Won palace located in North Korea, and the Royal residence in Beijing, they do not belong to King-Father, but they are guesthouses made available for his use by these two countries.

I congratualte former King Sihanouk for disclosing his wealth now before Forbes finding it out first. If this disclosure is true, I congratualte him for coming out clean. He did not get rich on the job as King Bhumibol does, or President Suharto did...

History tells us that honest, humble and patriotic men who put national interests above them care so little about their personal wealth, only dishonest leaders who care so little about their counry have insane amounts of money!

Forbes should research how much Hun Sen and family have during his 23 years in power.

If Hun Sen is truly a Khmer leader and patriotic toward the Khmer nation, he should donate all his "wealth" back to the Khmer nation.

I do believe his statement of his wealth.
Yes I do.
He's the poorest king on earth so does his son.
But his wife Monique still has some..not much.
Honestly I respect him for that,even I do not like much his Politik...but I like his music.He is gifted.

Once he saved Prasath Preah Vihear from Siem-Thug in 1962; Khmer-Independence from France in 1953 and kicked US out from Sth East Asia in 1975....and fought anti-neocolony Yuon-Hanoi until Paris Peace Agreements in October 23,1991.

Pls one more time before his last minute on earth :

" Yuon-Hanoi go Home ."

This time will be the last of his Mighty Marquis....once he had proved that he dared & kicked the US Giant.why cnnot be with those Ant-Yuon ?
And he will be the Great Hero-King of Cambodia & its People forever.

I think it's not to late to do it.

Cheers,
Bun H. Ung

An ex Yuvathchun Sangkum Reatr Nyum Khmer who had been visited more than 10 times to HM birth's house located near the Monument the independence .I loved the Museem of Norodom.The guide had shown us the wooden key that the Philippino government had given to him.The reason why was that? cuz they couldn't persuaded HM to join SEATO.
I was living a throwing stone from HM Musem to my parents house that is robbed & owned by one Arm-General,Nhim Vanda.

If he (Sihanouk) didn't bring Cambodia to war he could be the richest one in that region.

But he really brought Cambodia down to the biggest destruction.

My beloved Khmers!

If Sihanouk would not foolisly and insanely involved in PoliSick, he would simply ruled as our beloved traditional King, and unselfishly and patriotically allowing the young Democratic party of 1946, Prince Youtevong, Ieu Koeus, Chhean Vam, Kuy Kanthoul, Thonn Ouk, and the rest democrates, to rule the nation, then the Cambodian nation would not be involved with the stupid civil war, 1970-1975.

Hi son of farmer bicth.

Sihanouk didn't create lese majesty to hang his people like Bhumibol for just ask to have republic nation.

Our King may be poor, but he still the most lucky Monarch to be alived on this earth and came back for the second times. Many who caught in this terrible coup or war would have been dead along time ago, let alone having $45,000 in the bank and friends who genuinely care for him. Please don't ask who?, but just know that King Sihanouk regardless of what he did, he can and will be able to pull anything just like any King or Queen do. Good for him for having that much money. That shows he took nothing from us and it's about time that we should spend some of the investment money to up date or modernize the palace a little more. Sick of seeing our King or his son living in sack for ever.

My beloved 9:12PM!

Thank you very much for openly calling me, " Son of Farmer bicth".

Do you conscientiously and acknowledgeably have knew who selfishly destroying the young Democratic Party and the first Republic Party?

Prince Youtevong, a president of Democratic Party, was mysteriously illed and dead, Ieu Koeus,Youtevong's successor in the presidency was murdered in early 1950. Mentally and psychologically frightening, Chhean Vam had retired, Huy Kanthoul was in business, Thonn Ouk was in Frence, and the rest of young Democrats were no longer staying deep in Khmer Polisick. The first Republican was not Nol Lon, but was Sam Sary!

Whatever Sihanouk reveals his wealth, he still is a traitor. He helped to destroy Cambodia by helping Hanoi to win the war. Now he is very happy that Hanoi paid him back with less land to live. But he doesn't care as long as he is in palace.

Now Ah Siem wants a piece of Khmer land too because Ah Siem sees Ah Youn grabbed Khmer land very easy. So does Ah Sdech Siem. Where is ah Khmer leader, Hun Kwak?

Ah Kwak and Ah Sdech Chkourt gave khmer land away.

Ah Thai king has 35 billion dollars, but Ah Thai people are stupid. They still obey and bow to the rich king. the rich king sucked money from his people.

I personally don't like any king or royal family because they shit and bad smell like us. So why we need those people to live comfortably. They don't do any shit at all; just to waste tax payer's money.

Get rid of the Cambodia Royal families and CPP. Put the republic in place who works for people.

Your majesty will get an ounce of sympathy from this khmer because:
- You and your royal lineage have run the country to the ground.
- Your royal household were full of leaches.
- Finally it goes to show that your faithful service for Uncle Ho, Mao Ste Dong, Kim Ill Sung, Kim Junk Ill, Pol Pot, and lately for Samdech Pirate HunXen have been a futile enterprise and did not pay squat.
Your majesty should have been grateful that you will not have to sit in the KR Tribunal!
