Cambodian ex-king says he wants to die soon

PHNOM PENH—Cambodia's elderly former king Norodom Sihanouk said he has lived too long and wishes to die as soon as possible, according to a personal handwritten note on his website Thursday.

In a royal message, Sihanouk said his father, Suramarit, died at the age of 64, and his great-grandfather, Sisowath, died at the age of 83.

"But for me, who sincerely wants to die as near in the future as possible, I have lived too long," wrote the former king, who will turn 87 at the end of this month.

The ex-monarch, who has been in Beijing since last month for routine medical treatment, went on to say in his message, dated October 2, that the "lengthy longevity bears on me like an unbearable weight."

Sihanouk went on to thank compatriots who have wished that he lives to be over 100 years old, but asked them to refrain from wishing him a long life.

"What I want is to die as soon as possible, without having to infringe on the teachings of the (esteemed) Buddha who forbade suicide," he wrote.

Sihanouk has suffered from a number of ailments, including cancer, diabetes and hypertension.

One of Asia's longest-serving monarchs, he abruptly quit the throne in October 2004 in favor of his son, Sihamoni, citing old age and health problems.

Despite abdicating, Sihanouk remains a prominent figure in Cambodia and often uses messages on his website to comment on matters of state.

My beloved Samdech Auv has lived 18 years too long. If he died in 1991 Cambodia would have been different now, and may have been better.

Sihanouk, don't die yet, KR Tribunal needs you to the KR Court. You kill 1.7 million Khmers during your stupid regime with the Khmer Rouge.

KR Survivor said...

Well. take him to S-21 for a tour before he die. Perhaps, he will have insight of what he had done.

And then, push him off from the 3rd floor to his death. And if that to cruel for Xinhanouk, go with Electricution - strapped him to the metal bed.

Not enough, Lethal injection using Rat Poison. The blood would become water after the OD.

That's a good wish, King. Are you afraid of being called to be one of the witnesses in KR trial? Be brave, King. You have done a great deal of destruction to Cambodia and Khmer people; you should come forward to explain how massacre could have happened under your leadership as a head of state of the KR regime. But if you want to avoid it, hang yourself. The sooner you hang yourself, the better a chance for you to get awy from being condemned by the victims of the KR. Truth hurts just like that!

don't say like that to my king! You motherfucker,

Come on Sihanouk, do the RIGHT thing before you die. Volunteer yourself to testify at the upcoming trial of case 002 of KR Tribunal. You have Khmer people's BLOOD on your hands.
May Buddha have mercy on your miserable soul.

What a load of royal hypocrisy. He spends so much time keeping himself alive when he says he wants to die.

He just wants to brag that he lives longer than his ancestors.

I'm sorry to hear N. Sihanouk said that. I don't know he probably done a lot of Karma and got Cambodia into deepest danger.

He is probably witnesses that YOUN never gives up to swallow Cambodia and doesn't want to see when he is alive.

If you want to die,here is how:

1-stop taking all your medications.
2-Stop eating.
And if it still doesn't work ,just open the window and jump out.You're so fucking spoiled.
WE knew why do you want to die ,because you can't live with your guilt anymore.You played game with communist and as result 1.7 millions khmers had lost their lives include your own children.

To 4:07AM,
It doesn't matter Sihanouk is dead or alive, Viets already swallowed Cambodia now just like they did to Lao. The only difference is that the the viets run Cambodia through its surrogate Hun Sen while the Viets run Lao's affairs directly.

To all Khmer leaders

It is a good idea for you all to want to die like Norodom Sihanouk.  Because he had cost so many death and suffering to our peoples.  And lost of our territory.

Norodom Sihanouk is a good example.

When Norodom Sihanouk associated with the communist the Khmer peoples lost of many lives, suffering and lost of territory.

Now, AH Hun Sen associated with the communist China and the communist Vietnam, as of result we continue to loose more of our territory (Koh Tral our biggest island).

I am very sure that we are going to loose more of our territory to Vietnam and Thailand as long as AH Hun Sen is in power.

I am hoping that one day, Cambodian have a new government that associate with a democracy country (United States).

Does China help us when almost two million Khmer peoples got murders?

China help Democratic Kampuchea Pol Pot Khmer Rouge Regime kill almost two million innocent Khmer peoples and with million and million of landmines that continue to hurt and kill innocent Khmer peoples.

You are too ignorance abd lied about King Sihanouk. You must be too stupid to think the King wanted to kill his very own people. Without his own people, there will be no Kingdom. He fought so hard to win back Preah Vihear from Siem and tried all his best to save a poor small nation with no army from the fight between Capitalist(US) and Communist(Soviet/China/Vietnam).
The stupid and evil thinking like you never see light.

You are deadly wrong. The Rouge was created by the Vietnamese leader named Phan Boi Chau, Ho Chi Minh's god father. The Vietnamese Rouge, Laos Rouge and the Khmer Rouge were created as undergorund force during French colony behind the french back for the purposes of taking Indochina for themselves. The Vietnamese rouge were supported by Soviet and China. King Sihanouk and Lon Nol both did the revolution to free Cambodia by having Lon Nol with the US and Sihanouk with China instead of letting the Vietnamese burn all Khmers alive like they did to KK. Lon Nol lost the opportunit because his army there were many Vietnamese spies in it.
King Sihanouk didn't create KR when it was already created.
You must be too stupid to believe that King Sihanouk wanted to kill his own people. Without his own people there would be no Kingdom of Cambodia.
What'd you do if you were in a hot seat between Soviet/China/Vietnam v. US while Cambodia was too poor too weak with no army?

There are two kind of people: the ones who like to blame just like you and the ones who are trying to find the solutions to be freed.
