“A lengthy longevity”
By N. Sihanouk

Beijing, P.R. of China, 02 October 2009
My Father, H.M. King Preah Suramarit died at the age of 64-year-old (from diabetes). 1960.
His father-in-law, H.M. King Preah Monivong, died at the age of 64-year-old (died of sadness in 1941 – sadness for the loss of Battambang, etc... – which were unfairly annexed by Thailand with the help of Japan).
My maternal great-grandfather, H.M. Preah Sisowath had the reputation of having a very long life; he died at the age of 83 (died from old age).
But, for me who sincerely wants to die in the very near future as possible, I “lived too long”: On 31 October 2009, I will be 87-year-old.
The lengthy longevity bears on me like an unbearable weight.
Not knowing well my mentality, a large number of compatriots wish me to live over 100-year-old. Some men/women among these beloved compatriots even went on to wish me to live to 300-year-old!!!
Through courtesy and love, rather than through hypocrisy, I thanked these Compatriots.
But to be honest and devoid of hypocrisy, I would like to let everybody (Khmers and Foreigners) know that they do not please me at all when they wish me a long life. What I want is to die as soon as possible, without having to infringe on the teachings of the August Buddha who forbade suicide.

There are some idiots who wanted to wish this killer to live 300 years old. If he can live that long, Cambodia will be for sure becoming part of Vietnam.
Siem Reap
This idiot se-ah-nouk shuold been dead already! He is the first at fault for the reason of millions of our people die and suffered up to dates.
Stop breathing you diot! You think we have sympathy for your stupidity of destroying our people and nation. You think you uffered enough? How about millions of our people died? How about those who suffered? How about the living families for those who died and suffered?
Go to hell! You don't beieve in Buddha! Stop acting sorry, you are pathetic self center mother fucker! ALL KHMER SHOULD HATE THIS IDIOT!
AH SEHANOUK! STOP WINING! YOU ARE COWARD AS YOU ALWAYS BEEN FOR ALL YOUR LIFE. YOU ARE WORTHLESS WHEN YOU WERE KING. NOW, YOUR SON-STILL WORTHLESS! ALL NORODOM ARE DISGRACEFUL!
WHEN YOU DIE PLEASE TAKE YOUR WOTHLESS SON "CURRENT KING", HUN XEN AND ALL YOUR TRADER COMPATRIOTS WITH YOU TO HELL. THIS WILL GREATLY DO CAMBODIA A FAVOR.
Ben voyons, c'est la faute à Bouddha !!!
You know when you disrepect your elders, whether it'd be your father or His Majesty the King, you shorten your life by 10 fold according to the teaching of Buddha. I wouldnt run my igorant mouth if I were you.
You all forget one thing. If it werent for His Majesty the King, you wouldnt be relocate in the U.S or anywhere else. Ungrateful piece of turd!
SRP stupid supporters can insult whatever they like to ex-King Sihanouk but Sam Rainsy himself has never braved enough to say like his supporter let alone dares to criticise to ex-King. What ashamed!!
2:00PM, I agree the norodom is a mega coward. They always run away to China or France while his people and nation suffered.
Also agree with 1:50PM that he is responsible for destroying our people and nation.
2:14PM
Why you said anyone critics Sehanouk is SRP supporters? Assuming anyone ctiticizing Hun Sen also SRP supporters too?
To Mr. and Mrs.2:10
Your comment is baseless and naive,my question to you is Some one kill your parent and your benefit that trade with your parent ,your family or your beloved lives would you like to to do that? I prefer living as peaceful human being than live under sdach ignorant,sdach jkout,sdach devil and traitor leader like Hyn Xen.
Go to hell the fifteen level down under and burn in hell Xhihaknuk the king of devil!
2:10PM, Buddha? Where is Buddha when millions of our people die? Why haven't Buddha punish Hun Sen for what he have done, killing and suffering Buddha believers?
Unfortunity some people still believe in story and myth. When it comes to the reality, we can not proof a signle thing that Buddha ever help.
2:20PM
I didn't say that anyone who criticises to ex-King Sihanouk is SRP supporter! Please read what I wrote properly. Well, anyone can insult to ex-King Sihanouk but what I said, was why Sam Rainsy is not braved enough like his stupid supporters who like to insult the ex-King??
2:30PM, I totally agree with you!
I myself believe in teaching by lord Buddha. But I do not believe in Buddha help good people or punish bad people or shorten people life like what 2:10PM said.
I believe in the phylosophy not myth and story.
Sihanouk, if you want to die just wait till your wife is not around,open the window and jump.We are sick and tired of your whining.If you want to die why do you spend your life in CHINA anyway.
2:34PM, I can read what you wrote! Is you that can't write what you want to say.
So, now you mean who insult Sehanouk is SRP stupid supporters?
anyway.. forget it! Let's move on....no hard feelings. I am none of any party supporter.
Why he need treatment of his cancer if he want to die.
2:47PM
Because he had enough Khmer when he was king. Now he likes Chinese pussy.
2:56PM This idiot don't want to die. He just saying... trying to get sympathy. If he really wants to die, he could of just stop breathing. Simple as that!
Any stupid guys is the same other stupid guys. sweet lips but black heart. should go to hell if wishing. there are many kind of committing suicide..go if wanted...
To 2:28 and 2:30, You seem to be very judgemental about people you dont know. Base upon your analysis and unsupported reasons, it has accentuated your lack of knowledge. Another word, you are stupid and a bafoon!
How do you know the King meant to kill or maiming at innocent Khmers.
Yes, he made some mistakes which causes unintentd effect, in trying to get Cambodia stay neutral. The Correlation between him tryin to do the right thing was evidence. I mean I can go on and on debating this topic. But this blog is neither the right forum nor do I have the time to response to each comments.
All I'm saying is blaming one person at the time of the coldwar political climate, was absurd. Everything and every decision has causes and effects. Unfortunately at that Cambodia was too weak politcally and militarily to be peaceful and neutral. The King was trying to preserve that neutrality. However, forces beyond his control has led him to side with the Khmer Rouge.
As far as Buddha teaching, you can believe it or not. It doesnt really matter. I've seen several people who had just bashed the become ill or die.
Why do I believe in the King. Because I read a lot of books, articles and analyzed the situations. I dont just take the article or someone blag at face value.
2:10 PM,
You will also burn in hell...for making this stupid statement.
This stupid king is trying to fool us again and again. He made our people crawl toward him and if anyone ever looked at him in the eyes, he would order them to get out of the palace and never to be returned again. He made people call him Lord! God the King!. He was full of bush shit!. He did not care about anyone but himself, not even his own children. My mum told me that he called his daughter a "slut" on the radio, and regardless as a king and father, he was not suppose to do that! He was a bad and mad king! as well as a bad role model for our Khmer men in general. As you can see most of our men are now copycatting his bad behaviour like, abusing their wives and children. He did not only kill our people but he also damaged our people’s mentality. Anyway, at the end of the day, the truth has to come out about this idiot king who destroyed our land and our people’ lives because he was too busy with a lot of other virgin girls and told them not to speak out about it after he did it, even his own wife was scared of him. In addition, this idiot King had a lot of pleasure up to the point where he destroyed the whole nation’s lives. Oh God! And when we talk about God, this idiot king didn’t have any belief otherwise he wouldn’t dare went there in the first place. There was a great Monk told him before Pol Pot began about morality, integrity and professionalism and all other things that he should and should not do, but he ignored the monk’s teaching and then everything started to collapse. The monk then decided to commit suicide because this idiot king did not listen to him. Oh by the way I got this information from my parents, grandparents and other Khmer ageing people who survived the pol pot regimes and I am very please to pass this information on to our new Khmer generations to know the truth about our mad king! So, I hope this mad King's soul will be terminated and burnt in hell forever!

Base on my English knowledge are way behind yours,but base on your brain I think you are not any better than average people . My short question to you,if the tourist bus rolling on the street and kill all the passengers ,are you going to blame on the weather condition ,roads or the driver?
And take a brief to think ,Cambodia ,Laos and Viet they went through the communist time why those two country they did not kill their people as much as Cambodia?
Look at the Laos they were under Russia and Viet control why the Laos build the big dams that could produces a lot electricity and sell so much million and millions of dollar to Thailand and you know the Laos couldn't even compare to the khmer back then. I heard Sihaknuk said he must kill Cambdian PPL for the benefit of the country,also he killed patriarchy CHUN NATH because of Patriarchy on Sihaknuk way to make khmer revolution.
So the more you try to defense this killer king it the same thing that you wear the shit on your forehead and walk across the town bad advertise for the king.
Two million soul are waiting to ask Sihaknuk ,why he has done that stupid thing,and in respectable ways.
Lonalinist kid
sihanouk can't face the fact anymore that all i know. anyway i heard my parent told me that he very jealousy man. he doesnt want to see anybody that has more education than him. so he has to do everything to get his name out. likes porn star,movie star,karaoke star.
Who care about this dandruff Viet China dog going to die?
May twomillion khmer soul that got kill and continue to kill by dictator leader may rest in peace!
Die now motherfucker ,so I can open my champagne bottle !!!!!!!!
Your majesty, if you dont want to live you too long, stop going to the chinese hospital!
Look, your fellow poor aging khmers cant even afford to go to the Khmer hospitals.... [khmer peasant]
Who messed with the best or die like the rest. Who messed up the rest, who will clean the rest of those messed. Dare to test with the best or scare like the rest. You know who's cool and don't be fool.
You guys say it all about the former King. I have nothing new to say and I agree with you all that Sihanouk is spychologically unfit. Sorry to say that.
Why he needs to tell the world that he wants to die. Come on, just die if you want to.
I agree with 3:00 that he whines for symphaty.
Whoever said that insulting the former king is a sin is so dumb? What you mean is the king can say whatever he wants, but not us.
We wish him death for a long time. Who cares if he wants to die. Let's provide him with cianide for him. Don't try to write a note that you want to die soon and get Khmer people sympathy with you. We don't care.
If we scold or say bad thing to Ah Sihanouk,Lod Buddha won't punish us because he committed a lot of crime against Khmer people. He is the one who goes to hell.
3:08PM
Seems like you the only one in this blogg defending the ex-king. According to your comments above, everyone criticizing and insulting this ex-king is uneducated and stupid. So, you the only smart one?
I would not blame people who hate this king. Rational person will not make decision or do if cost exceed benefit. Sehanouk did! His decision have killed millions and suffers people and destroying our country until today.
Now 3:08PM, let me ask you:
WHAT ON EARTH CAN BENEFIT EXCEEDING THIS COST? Despice the living famalies of those who died still suffering and continues to suffering through kids and grandkids (this can continues to billions suffering).
If you can't provide explanation to the question, I would suggest to stop call people stupid for hating Sehanouk. Because they have a very good reason too. You the one that choose not to see it.
Like someone said before, reading a lot of books and have more education does not surpass common sense.
The sooner, the better!
My beloved 3:08PM!
Reading thy remarkably highest academic statement is precisely an exhausting experience, 'cause thou art instinctively or absolutely denieth the unpleasant truths of SihanoukVarman's ultimate and simple mistakes. Here is one of my stupid questions...
If Sihanouk would desirably stayed as beloved loving tratditional king and not invovling in Khmer PoliSick, what would be happened to Kampuchea and her beloved people?
If we wish you to live that long it's not because we love you, but because we hate you and want you to suffer longer. You killed 1.7M of your own people, the people who you called "my children and grand children" and yet, never felt remorse a bit.

You can end your life right now ah Sihanouk. No one is going to lose any sleep if you decide to jump off a bridge and drown in the Mekong River. Perhaps your death will finally shut your mouth up. We are tired of listening to you and hearing you bark. You've done too much irreversible damage to the Cambodian people and the country and it's long overdue for your departure from this earth.
Don't talk about having to infringe upon the teachings of Buddha. You've committed way too many crimes on the Cambodian people that you've surpassed beyond Buddha's teachings and your place in hell is deserved tenfold.
And when you go to hell, take that uneducated filthy bastard Hun Sen with you.
We want you to live long. We want you to suffer from nightmares of Lon Nol's and Sirik Matak's ghosts and the ghosts of over 1.7 million Cambodians that perished under your selfishness.
It's still a ghost town even half a century ago. There won't be no more ghost when he gone.
3:08pm Your supporting reasons for the king are lame.your reasoning doesn't hold water. you brought about several points as to why king sinahouk should not be held responsible for the genocide. you claimed to have read lots of books regarding your former kings' personal life. For you to blame the atrocity on the coldwar does not cut it. Cambodia had nothing to do with the coldwar. The problem was this former king of yours lied to the public on the country's "neutrality" when in fact this former king of yours allowed the vietcong to occupied eastern cambodian territory. this led to the american bombings in cambodia. This former king of yours thought that he was omnipotent so he never listened to nobody. All of these led to the destruction of our nation. this former king of yours must be held accountable for every thing that has happen in cambodia
This clown king is so pathetic. Just bring him more virgin girls and I'm sure he would want to live again. All Khmer older generation knew this king so well.He's a womanizer.
Thank God for the breath of life God gives to his people including King Sihanouk.Thank God that China gives him medical treatment. Going to China for treatment is an supreme insult to khmer doctors and his subjects and an act of selfishness, unconcern about the poor cambodian people. At his advanced age his heart speaks loudly his lack of gratitude even to the people who had wished him longlife.
He even wishes himself death. How much more about his state of mind and the condition of his heart for other people around him and far away from him?
Enought of the character assassination. It doesnt prove anything.
I know I stand alone in this subject matter defending my beloved King. An ancient Chinese proverb said "Never judge a man unless you have walked in his shoes"
Listen, I'm not totally taken blame from the King. All I'm saying is the King did try to move our country in the right path. However, in tyring to do so, Superpower had used and abused small country such as Cambodia like pawns on the chestboard.
You seem to forget that before 1965. Cambodia enjoyed its peace and calm for quite a long time. In part because of the King. Phnom Penh was dubed "the Paris of Asia." Before the Vietnam War, Cambodia enjoyed it's peace and prosperity.
As far as him lying to the public. On what did you base your argument on. I'm not going to call you names nor use foul language. I wouldnt want to stoop that low.
Long Live His Majesty the King!
Very noble dialog 2;38PM.
A few of bashers are too ignorance who claimed to know everythings. They are braggarts who claimed themselves to be truly prophets who predicted after the evnt happened.
If they were King Sihanouk who were in the hot seat between powerful very well armed nations like China and Soviet Unions who were behind their puppets Vietnamese to take Cambodia and Laos at all cost, they would have been beheaded since day one.
These extreme thugs who bash the King are no difference than the extreme PAD in Thailand.
To some of those wicked people who curse the King.
Do you know most cancer patients who went through Chemotherapy wished to die fast?
Because Chemotherapy causes too much sufferings and it is not guaranteed to be cured.
"You curse the King, but the curse will fall upon you; and the last hour of your death, you will face sufferings worse than the King; and you will remember and you will want to die faster. But death will keep you longer suffering until you will be left alone in the dark and miserbale."

10:45, 11:05, 11:06, and 11:07, a point well taken you are noble indeed!!
Thank you Lord Buddha I'm not alone defending the King. I know most of my fellow University students here in the U.S have similar views as these bashers.
All these curses and wishing for his death is a nothing more than a bunch of fools who are so shallow in their intelligence that they are resort to character assassination and name calling.
All these arguments against the King were nothing more than a bunch of myopic thug languages with nothing to substantiate. Any fool can come up with a "smart mouth" one-liner.
Long Live His Majesty the King!
Are you kidding 1;41pm.
The poeple who believed the King and supported him are million Khmers. Many at oversea, but they are not here to waste their times and breath.
You only see a few no more than 20 are making noise in KI.
7:17, what's your point??
