3- My so-called “greed”
(The new Petit Robert [dictionary] of the French language – 2008: “CUPIDITY [GREED]”: Indecent and petty desire to earn money, to make money from anything; fierceness, avidity, greed, rapacious.)
3a – In 1963, as Head of State of Cambodia, I put an end to the multiform US aid to the Cambodian state (an aid amounting to a total value of $30 million per year), because the US made this aid a conditional one (conditions that are incompatible with the total Independence of the neutrality of the Khmer Kingdom).
3b – The Lonnolians, following their Putsch dated 18 March 1970, received for themselves and their republican regime more than US$200 million per year + $350 million per year (military and Khmer (Republic) government war spending) + $750 million per year for the US spending in Cambodia itself [for] imperialist, neocolonialist was spending.
3c – Very powerful head of the Khmer state, I only earned (if my memory is correct) 18,000 riels per month for salary (at that time, [the exchange rate for] US$1 was 35 riels at the official rate, and 50 riels at the black market).
3d – Each month, ministers, high-ranking officials etc… made (very modest) donations (in riels) to the National Mutual Assistance Work (NMAW) which I presided. All the money from this NMAW (whose treasurer was the very clean Oknha Puch, an irreproachable civil servant who served my Grandfather, H.M. King Preah Monivong) went to the people, the poor compatriots who need to be saved (victims of landmines, victims of insecurity, victims of fire, war victims).
My personal money went in large part to the NMAW coffer.
NMAW expenses were regularly made available to the general public.
3e – Regarding myself, I was not and am absolutely not greedy.
3f – My revered Maman owned some “income-earning buildings” that she rented to Chinese merchants, etc… This brought her some money each month, a portion of which went to her religious (Buddhist) works, and the other portion came to me: H.M. the Queen my Mother knew that I was not corrupt and I did not know about greed.

I am not greedy because the descriptions of my deed went way beyond greedy, Greedy does not fit to my actions but I do care too much of the throne that at the expense of everything else including my conscientious as a khmer as a King.
May karma reflect your deed with your next life be born with the deed you have placed upon any suffering souls
Sihanouk did not reveal how much state budgetary lines covered his lifestyle and private expenses.
Free housing,transportation,and at convenience to dip his hands in National treasury...
What a croc and hypocrite as he has been and is,always.

A MORT BIENTOT A CHKé SIHANOUK ET FERME TON BEC ...
I rather like to hear Sihanouk confess in public about his involvement with the Khmer Rouge and his responsibility of what happened to the destruction of Cambodia and its people.
He thought Cambodia was his private belonging, what else does he try to prove?
Oh, damn King! Stop coming to haunt Khmer people. Since you are such a reckless, shameless and coward King, we Khmers try to forget you, and you still cime to haunt us. Stop it, will ya?
ីI think nobody can tell the true, coz it is the behavior of the elders as being a leaders unless they are arrest and sent to the court.
Almost every Ambassador position was
paying with amount of 250,000 riels(a bowl of noodle soup costed 5 riels)to Monic-Sihanouk,back door.
Sihanouk spend the unlimited fund from the state bank to make his clumsy movies and build some luxury houses around the kingdom.
His wife Monic had a company was called " Hak Ly " to sell rices & others supplies to Yiet Cong.
Sihanouk is still always unconscientiously attempting to convince us and the next forever generation of Khmer that 0+0= 2zeros, not mathematically 0.
After rejection of American aideat 1963,because of growing corruption, and a collapsing economy the state's national budget was nearly empty, but ironically speaking, Sihanouk was still unashamedly transformed into a film director, actor, writer, and composer, using up miles of film financially paid for through the state's budget.
Dear samdach ta. If you don't mind could you please reprioritize the subject? Wich one you should do now and which one is later? Chavs think our country need your help for now before anything else. We all know that you can do it if you don't spend you time for a wrong thing samdach ta and we also wanted to keep your good work in our hearts after your mission accomplished. Chavs alway love to see your good action.
If Noromdom Sihanouk didn't create the political turmoil in the 60s and 70s there wouldn't be Lon Nol in power.
Sihanouk is the root cause!!
Stop blaming other, it was just you that created instability in Cambodia.
KhmerPP,
Eh, your ta won't be able to answer to your appeals. Allow me to briefly answer them: your ta is a shameless, irresposible and a coward person. At this age, the age of pluging headdown to hell, your ta have no time to help you and your country. All the time he had left is for his own fun, dancing and singing, and he will and dance in hell too.

Has any one ever seen statements from Sihanuk writting in Khmer? I have not seen one. Why all are in foreign languages?
He barely reads Khmer, dude, but he's sdach Khmer!
Stop barking and get lost from Cambodia.
King Sihanouk should admit the mistakes that he made rather than try to prove that he's not greedy or corrupted. What's the point? Everyone knows that the king isn't as truthful as he has said.
