Where a “tightwad” son lost the love of Ms. Yeap to his father: King-Father's Palace Tale


Translated from French by Luc Sâr

Ms. Yeap and the young “tightwad” King Sihanouk

By N. Sihanouk

My august Maman Preah S. Kossamak was known, loved and admired, not only for her religious and social achievements, but also for her action – starting from the 30s until her death in Beijing on 27 April 1975 – in favor of the Rebirth and the prestigious development of the Khmer Royal Ballet.

40s: Within the Khmer Royal Ballet corps, came along with grace, a young and pretty damsel named Yeap. Yeap’s Papa was a District Chief of the Khmer Royal Administration. Mrs. Khun Meak, the dean of the favorites of King Sisowath Monivong, my maternal Grandfather, considered Yeap as her own daughter. Adoring my Maman, Mrs. Khun Meak often sent dishes, fruits, desserts to my Maman.

Yeap was charged by Meak to bring these dishes, fruits, tasty morsels to my Maman (who was at the Khemarin palace with my Father and me (who was already crowned King).)

Preah Suramarit and I both felt in love with Yeap. Separately (of course!). We courted her by offering her riels (our local money.)

At each “opportunity,” “tightwad” Sihanouk offered to Yeap … 5 (five) riels.

At each “opportunity,” my Father offered to Yeap … 20 (twenty) riels.

My Maman was in charge the Suramarit-Kossamak “couple” purse, my Father had to “terrorize” my personal Treasurer, Mr. Puch, to obtain form him (Puch) … a portion of my money (my salary) as King of Cambodia, and gave it to Yeap … in his personal name. When it came to choose between Sihanouk and Suramarit, Yeap “naturally” chose the “well-healed” Suramarit rather than the “tightwad” Sihanouk.

(Signed) N. Sihanouk

Please keep your fights with your father for women to yourself. There is no need to disgrace yourself in your twilight days.

When a king and his father lust after the same woman and throw money at her, now we know why Cambodia never had a chance: then or now.

What a "Amazing Khmer King." Instead of posting silly stories, he should voice his concern more on Cambodia's current affairs. What a pathetic man. His bloodlines are curses to Khmer's tragedies.

A day in the life of a boring King! and perhaps just plan dumb and thoughtless about the unforeseen danger that is just about to come.

Lesson learn. Thanks King for telling us your again boring day. Amusement day to you. Of course!

King Bhumibal of Thailand at the same time, was probably watched his seat and position like a hawk! Look at them now! He and his Queen get to enjoy their hard earning throne for over 60 years!!! We all can learn a great deal from both Kings.

Princess Diana of England takes none of that from her husband. So did the soon to be the first lady of France. They both lost their husbands. It didn't seem to bother them. They just feel better as a person than to just put with a jerk.

Queen Kosamak on the other side, couldn't careless. Here is what she says to her husband at the time: You jack ass can go to hell! becuase I'm Queen and i'm going to stay Queen regardless of what you do. You!( assh*le husband ) also just have to put up with me! you Jack ass!!!

All those who cursed a Khmer King, or for that matter, any Khmer, whether a peasant or a laborer, and turned a blind eye to their sacrifices and good deeds, LISTEN UP! You are either a Youn, a Siem or another foreign national. Your views seem to be anti-Khmer and supportive of foreign sovereigns and cultures. You need to apply for visa to come into Cambodia or don't come in at all. STAY THE FUCK OUT OF CAMBODIA!! We are better off without you and your destructive comments that will do nothing in the way of rebuilding our fracturous nation. His Majesty Sihahouk has done so much for his beloved nation, just ask any western Cambodian historian. Ask youself this: What have you done for the Khmer people other than running your mouth or brain (if you have one) brewing out destructive comments such ones blogged on this site? If you still want to be identified as Khmer, you need to behave as one. My question to you is: if you don’t like HM Sihanouk, PM Hun Sen, Samd. Cheasim, Marshall Lon Nol, and all those Khmer leaders who sacrificed so much for their nation regardless of their unintentional faults, who the fuck do you like? Ho Chih Minh, Bao Dai, Mao Zedong, Richard Nixon,….etc? You need to love you own Khmer brothers and sisters regardless of their social status. And yes that includes His Majesty, the Father and the current sovereign. Your view needs to be more balanced, factual and optimistic of their accomplisments rather than their faults. That’s how we start to build a fracturous nation together.

Some retarded people who insulted King Sihanouk are the ones whose life is miserable.

Don't worry about it. We all know Ly Ngoc Dinh or Diep is Youn and Youn want to kill our King Father.
When someone tells me he is Khmer Krom, I have to think many times before I can shake hand with.
I know there are good Khmer krom, but many are Youn like Ly Ngoc Diep.
