King-Father's nationalism and self-reliance lesson for the youngster generation of Cambodia would-be strongmen/leaders?

Translated from French by Luc Sâr
Cambodian Studies
Sihanoukism and Sihanoukists
By Norodom Sihanouk

(Written in Beijing, P.R. of China, on 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 January 2009)

1- S.R.N. – Sihanoukism (1955-1969)

In 1955, I abdicated to found the S.R.N.
  • Sangkum = community
  • Reastr = people
  • Niyum = devoted to; pro-
  • Reastr Niyum = loving the people = devoted to the people = dedicated to the service of the people = defending anything that is in the (minor, major) interest of the people.
Sihanoukism: Nationalism; Buddhist socialism (Buddha is the No. 1 socialist in the history of the universe).

Fight without compromise against all forms of corruption.

Cambodia: Complete independence; must count on herself to survive, prosper, develop in all domains of the national edification. Neutrality and non-aligned. Complete rejection of any protective “shade” (such as SEATO [precursor of ASEAN], etc…)

(To be continued)

(Signed) N. Sihanouk

To Sihanouk,

You are the responsible khmer leader greedy in power and cheated by Ho Chi Minh ( who can cheat Sihanouk had not been born yet, your own sef-belief, and your own weak point, and your own failure in leading the country...)for the destruction of Cambodia and the Vietnamisation of Cambodia.

Cambodia will not survive by my view. She will be a second Champa because of you and you alone, the main actor in Khmer killing Fields.

Buddha didn'n kill like you,look 70->80 all temples and all monks and 2 123 215 innocent peoples were destroyed .You know your self that Communism HO and Mao have no religion.They said tveu ka chroeun tor tuol phâl chroeun tê chamnay tun tech,no school no book,all Sattra slek rith were burned....etc Please respect!


"Enfin Bouddha notre maître suprême a bien dit que l'ignorance est la source de la souffrance,il éclaire que l'ambition est une forme de cette ignorance à sans arrêt causer le malheur des Cambodgiens car l'ambition de leurs dirigeants pour obtenir le pouvoir à vie et de viser d'expansionnisme de leurs voisins dure depuis très longtemps,mais grâce à la vérité Bouddha a pu quitter ce cercle de la souffrance et parvenir à l'élimination donc la vérité en soi,la vérité concernant leurs histoires et leurs combats peut sûrement aider les cambodgiens à sortir de leurs épreuves"


" Finally Buddha our supreme boss said well that the ignorance is the source of the suffering, it lights(enlightens) that the ambition is a shape of this ignorance to cause non-stop the misfortune of the Cambodians because the ambition of their leaders to obtain the power with life and to aim at expansionism of their neighbours lasts for a very long time, but thanks to the truth Buddha was able to leave this circle of the suffering and to reach the elimination thus "

Younger generation choose to ignore this man when they study about Cambodian’s history and got no faith left in him. There is only a bunch of his elder fellows still belief in him.

Please the king. Stop your nonsense half truths for Cambodians. The suffering has been taken place enough upon our people. Let them choose their own choice so that you can’t be left alone and free from guilt.

Anyone can paint the face, but the facts are the facts. Who hated educated people, who created the hatred, who illegally supported the Vietcong movement on Khmer soils, who contributed to the killings of Khmer people ... No one can't lie the history. Stop painting, but offering public apologies.

Where is Sihanouk Nationalism? In all his posts and his writing in his website, Sihanouk has promoted and has recognised Sihanoukist and not Nationalism. Millions of Nationalists have been killed by Sihanouk war against anti-Sihanoukist. More than one hundred thousands of National army, National Police, Public servants were all killed by Shanoukist. Therefore, it is too late for Sihanouk to say about Nationalism. All of his children boys and girls are all Dollarism and Sexism. I like to condmen Sihanouk for his very stupid decision in 1970 to declare war against Cambodia and Cambodian. Areak Prey

Sihanouk's nationalism? Has, hay! He does not fit as such. He's a destrutive leader who deserves being cussed and cursed until he go to deep hell. There is only one reckless and shameless King in the world. That King is Sihanouk.

To Sihanouk and its clans:

During Sihanouk visit to Péking in September 1964, Siahanouk met with Vietcong leader Pham Van Dong, Lé Duc Tho, and asked Sihanouk to recognied the National Liberation Front [NFL] in Cambodia's territory.
Sihanouk had signed to accepted the following three conditions in order to insured as King of Cambodia:
1)- Sihanouk, permit North Vietnam to use khmer territory to supply and resupply the NVA/VC/NFL with weapons, munitions, and materials so as to continue the war against American in South Vietnam.
2)- Sihanouk, Authorize the North Vietnamese Armies, Vietcong, National Liberation Front[NVA/VC/NFL] to establish their bases inside Cambodia within 30km along Cambodia's border.
3)- Sihanouk, Continues to support North Vietnam and Vietcong with propagandas.

It is good to learn from both failure and sucess leader, also good to learn from their perspective. Everyone hold pieces of the truth but not the whole truth, and everyone has their own version of story to tell. I think the good way for us as young generation, we should learn from all the sources of information and have a better understanding of the whole picture. Then we could be critical on those information to find the meaning for ourselves and determin our own action as Cambodian that could bring value and respect to ourselves and our nation.

The question that I am still restling with everyday is that when we Cambodian people are becoming a responsible person? This is not reflecting about our current or past leader, but also reflecting Cambodia society as general... I hope we could be more reflexive and reflective and learn to be responsible for our action and our nation as individual and as community.

If you love your people or Reastr, why did your plunge your country???
Please explain why??

I don't think so. You love power and greed. You've killed some national and accused them of being betrayed the country or nation. You labeled them as treason. But the truth was this, those that you've killed they were serving for the better of the nation.

yes and of course, everybody who is old enough to remember this golden era of cambodia, however short-lived was the best cambodia ever had, at least in a long time. i remembered in sociology, it was known academically that this type of gov't of the-then S.R.N gov't of cambodia headed by the monarch, retired King Sihanouk, was actually the best type of gov't on the planet i.e. democracy monarchy like the one cambodia had, the sangkum reastr niyum (s.r.n) founded by the monarchy himself, then. however, the only problem with this type of gov't is that it only last as long as the monarchy reigns because sociology goes to say that as soon as the monarchy or the ruler (the god-king style) passed away, chaotic or usurping of power will always follow that era. in fact the s.r.n, from my understanding is very similar to the rules under the great khmer empire, the style of the god-king type of gov't (although the best type of gov't in the world), there's always chaos and infighting or the struggle of power after the god-king passed away because there is no real law to prevent this type of political chaos that seems to follow the death of the ruler. perhaps, in the future, if gov't can prevent this political chaos that ensues a ruler's death, then, perhaps, cambodia under that same style of gov't can have everlasting peace and prosperity. but that will take a lot of self-love and education and strict law and protection from gov't in order to prevent such chaos that inevitable ensue post mortem of a ruler like that in cambodia again. please study sociology to understand what i am saying here further. god bless.

Sihanouk is nearly death, but why he still kept that true-nightmare about Pol Pot, about himself. If he let this truth out to the public hearing; he will be die like a hero again.
Anyway, he's going to die like a slave-china-dog. Die as a snake with no soil to bury in.

Well the difference between SRN and Current Government is SRN didn't have to recover from anything. There were not much destruction to deal with and they have the a lot more asset to work with than the present government. Therefore, there is nothing to brag about.

Sihanouk has orchestrated and paint khmer faces as Khmer Sar, Khmer Khieu, khmer Kraham, khmer-vietminh, Khmer Issarak, Khmer Serei etc...

In 18th March 1970, Sihanouk Of Sangkum Reastr Niyum was Topple by General Lon Nol and Creared Khmer Republic.

In 17th April 1975, Sihanouk of GRUNK and Pol Pot of FUNK were Topple the Khmer Republic.

In 18th March 1976, Sihanouk was Topple by Pol Pot and Created DK.

In 7th January 1979 Vietcong came to Topple Khmer Kraham DK and installed Pen Sovann, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim, Hun Sen... and Created a puppet Government.

In 1993 Untac elected Ranariddh of Cambodia.

sounds like the cycle never ends! perhaps it's just a cycle of life evolution. ever since adams and eves, man destroys each other nonstop! when are they going to stop this violent cycle? must people forgot that two wrongs don't make it right! so evil thinking! for once in your life, learn the listening skill! image if the entire world is doing like cambodia, we all wouldn't have peace and prosperity on the planet! perhaps world should make cambodia like japan after world war II, no dictator, and cambodia must have the term limit like president in the USA, until people realize this, i think the cycle of violence or actually the churning of the sea of milk will continue until goodness will over power evil! may god help cambodia and our khmer people.

Sihanouk, you are not a buddist according to your writing because you do not understand the Bubbha's doctrine. Bubbha is the real democratic " Buddha went away from from the royal familly that have everything to the forest to educate himself from Tar Bash and learned some doctrine to people and Buddha do not force the people he just show the way to go." So do not complaint Buddha. Look at the comments from the top they are right. You are not "Preah" you are "Pret" because you want to a zombie after your death.

I bet with you all, that Sihanouk will not come to die in Cambodia. He maybe going to die in China or N. Korea. Because, when he die in Cambodia, there will be 2,123,215 innocent khmer souls will be followed him for 2,123,215 life years. Sihanouk is the God King Father of Killing Fields.

These ignorant Cambodians posted from the top (Hin Sithan) to this last one 2:46AM will never stop barking. Many of you Cambodians are far behind the truth. You Cambodians cannot handle the truth, because you are are ignorant and are clueless.

I doubt anyone, anywhere on earth, friend or foe hates Cambodians or say Cambodians are too ignorant as much as as Cambodians are truly ignorant themselves.

Keep displaying your stupidity and spreading rumor that're untrue, it won't last long, the kleptocracy will stay for indefinite.

Hin Sithan,
Have you ever seen Chess?
It is similar to Strategic Plan for War on Communist Invasion of Cambodia.

The author who wrote that book only picked up what he saw but not what he didn't see.

His Majesty King Sihanouk was not the only man who drafted the plan against the enemies surrounded Cambodia, he and his closest countrymen did it together.

The problems were not only inside Cambodia, but from outside of Cambodia. The war between capitalist vs. Communist and the neighboring countries; and if you can bring some of those facts, then you can make some sort of valid arguments, or your story is noth worth anyone time to read.

I read many of your spurious attacks on HM King Sihanouk to be shameful. A few forums I read many criticized Cambodians as they are the dumbest people, and it hurts very much. I know most of you embardked on a crusade against HM King Sihanouk and further insulting the Queen Mother accusing her as a Viet spy, are so fucking shit with lies. No foreigners will be prone to your frivolous comment on such shit.

Back then, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos were one country under French ruled. The Queen Mother was born in South while her French-Italian Father went to control his subjects. His wife Cambodian, Mrs Peang went along with her husband and gave bith to a baby girl, now the Queen Mother. By Cambodian Law she is Cambodian not Viet like those Khmer racist and Queen's haters claimed. Her big sister named Princess Nanette (born in Phnom Penh), a wife of Prince Sisowath Metheavy. Prince Metheavy and Princess Nanette survived by two children, Prince Thomico and Princess Sophana.
Just because Queen Mother born in South during French colony, does not make her Vietnamese. She is a Khmer woman.

Our Khmer people are so fucking racist against our own people who look different than us. Princess Norleak, King Father's wife now is in France. She too was so jealous with Queen mother and spreading rumors bad all over.
Why didn't anyone one of us Khmer mention that Princess Norleak was sleeping around with the black men?
So ashame, isn't it? Rather say she is a whore Khmer Princess they said she already died long times ago. Shit, she is in Paris still.

Racist among our own people is dangerous for us but not for the enemy like Vietnamese who are happy to see us fight.

I am sick & tired with our own Khmer people who tear each other apart.

I'm a young generation, and I already knew the history. My huge documents I have with me solved the problems I long searched for.

I repented my injustice to King Father. King Father, Gen. Lon Nol, HE Kheiv Samphan are my Heros according to the history I found.


Way to go, Cambodia. Pray that China will guard on Vietnamese invaders closely.

Hey stupid Cambodian 4:59 AM,

Buddha was here for His last incarnation after 20 incarnated performances. Everyone of us have duty to fullfil, and Buddha was here to help every human being to reduce our karma.

King Sihanouk was here as a politician to help, protect and to solve for his one nation.

You are here to be stupid and cursing around. Yep.
