Your Majesty,
I have the honour of informing you about the following good news: Top leading experts who I have consulted in Europe (top research authorities and professors from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique – CNRS -, from the Institut Géographique National – IGN – and from the Federal Polytechnique School of Lausanne) confirm the validity of what we all know and of what I recently denounced, namely the displacing of the border posts by Vietnam to the detriment of Cambodia.
In spite of the denial of the current Cambodian governmental authorities, and in spite of their acts of repression towards Khmer patriots who dare to denounce the infringement of the territorial integrity of Cambodia by our powerful Eastern neighbours, no one can contest the reality of the facts any longer.
In the difficult circumstances which prevail currently in Cambodia, I remind myself of the following words by Emile Zola, “The truth is coming to light. Nothing can stop it (…). Justice can only be in the truth.”
The scientific truth has now shined forth in the eyes of the whole world. This truth has put a stop to biased political talk and propaganda around the border issue. This truth is based on the examination of all the geographical maps which are available and which show the real delineation of the frontier between Cambodia and Vietnam – notably the official maps of Cambodia that You had deposited at the United Nations in March 1964 and which are universally recognized. The truth is also based on the most modern investigation methods which did not exist in the 1980s when our neighbouring country forced the puppet Khmer authorities to sign illegal and unjust border treaties.
Thanks to the analysis of the maps, the use of which has been recently facilitated by their digitization, thanks to the record of the precise geographical coordinates of all the important points of the territory through the means of GPS, thanks to very clear satellite images which are accessible to everyone and enable the visualization of the frontier markings in any zone, thanks to the use of specific software programs which allow instant highly complicated geodesy and mapping calculations, and thanks to communication and exchange possibilities on the Internet network, we can at last render justice to our Homeland and to the Khmer people.
We will now be able to have the Khmer peasants freed, those who were put into prison because they dared protest again the confiscation of their rice-fields by the neighbouring country with the complicity of the local Cambodian authorities. We will be able to give back the ancestral land to our peasants so that they can live with dignity on legal Cambodian territory.
In my quality of an elected representative of the Khmer people and in my personal name, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to You as well as my boundless admiration for Your clear-sighted initiative which consisted in depositing the official Cambodian maps at the United Nations at the glorious time of Sangkum Reastr Niyum : This has allowed our country to obtain international recognition of its boundaries as inherited from the French colonization.
Since then You have never stopped defending the principle of the inviolability of our terrestrial and maritime frontiers by many other initiatives. This has led the Khmer people to love You and to respect You as the Father of Cambodia’s Territorial Integrity, in parallel to Your other titles as Father of National Independence and Father of the Nation.
Exactly five years ago, day for day, You declared from Beijing :
«The SRV (Socialist Republic of Vietnam) has “created” new frontiers (to its own benefit) by building, in the decades of 1980 and 1990-2000, “gates” and canals which are well inside our frontiers of 1963-1969.
Our (present) Cambodia, represented by H.E. Var Kim Hong’s team (the chief negotiator for frontier issues nominated by Prime Minister Hun Sen), accepts to commit suicide by recognizing, even in the eyes of International law, that Cambodia has no precise frontiers.
The word “suicide” is not an exaggeration. A country which recognizes that it has no legal and precise frontiers is a dead country. »
It is high time that our present rulers in Phnom Penh should remember your noble warning or that the Khmer nation should wake up and react to ensure its survival.
I beg your Majesty to accept the expression of my highest respect and unwavering loyalty.

Lon Nol and Pol Pot are good at defending Khmer border. Unlike the Monarchy and the three stooges just bend over for Viet Cong just for the revenged and hatred toward it people. The debt that owed to US is a small fraction compared to Hun Sen and his cronies. Why don't you just pay it off and stop being cheap. With all the illegal logging and land grabbing from those innocent Khmer people. Also the millions of hectar leased to Saudi. Pay it and stop begging.

To all Vietnamese
Cambodia was never a free frontier for you to scout out for more territory. Cambodia been occupied as long as we known you. You may want to drain the ocean dry if you want more land to the west. East is not available.
New Prime Minister of Khampuchea
Sam Rainsgy
Mr. Sam Rainsy is the best there is Cambodia has ever produced. Var Kimhong and Hun Sen and Soy Sopheap and other CPP affiliated people always call Mr. Sam Rainsy names of this and that, but Mr. Sam Riansy always keeps his cool and simply use nothing but the truth to expose those name-calling people from the CPP camp. He is the very best there is. Who can ever top Mr. Sam Rainsy's letter writing to the King? We can only emulate his style.
Correction...
I get goofed up in my directions as to which way is east & west in SE Asia.
I meant to mean, 'drain the east ocean dry if Viet wants more land.
Thank you Mr. Sam Rainsy, SRPs and everyone's involves providing the truth regarding our border issues with the thieves, Youn.
When a great truth once get abroad in the world, no power on earth can imprison it, or prescribe its limits, or suppress it. It is bound to go on till it became the thought of the world. Honesty will lead to justice!
I believe you will win this war although you lost this current battle. The more the government lied and conitnues to suppress you, the deeper the whole they will be in. Now they have digged too deep. Soon all will burried under their own whole.
Please, Samdach ov, don't die too soon, help Khmers before!
We need you help.
Come on Sam Rainsy, you are so fake in praising former king Sihanouk. In your mind you hate him to the bone, you hate him for killing your father. Your goal is to become a Cambodian prime minister and then you declare Khmer republic, and abolish the monarchy. In your mind, the end game is to pay back to king sihanouk for killing your father and exile your family to France.
Fake love and fake praise when i see one.
As for the border issue, you put the horse before the cart, and thus you can kick and scream from abroad, but HS will just ignore you.
6:38, Sam Rainsy will always be genuine, unlike your Hun Sh*t who threatens repeatedly to abolish the monarchy. Hun Sh*t even attacked King Sihanouk repeatedly before also. However, Hun Sh*t the cocksucker of the YUONs' short dicks.
it's ashamed To Uo Sa Van, you consider hun sen as Tavada . commrade Ou sa van might get secret presents from hunsen as hunses did with hiss Master yuon blackteeth.
Rainsy used to say in private that forget about his father, just a drop of blood, let's move on and look at the nation's interests.
He was being genuine.
កុំនាំក្មេងជំនាន់ក្រោយ អោយឆ្កួតតាមយើងនោះ ។ បើខ្លួនឯងឈ្លក់នឹងស្តេចនោះ ក៍ឈ្លក់តែឯងទៅ ។
ព្រោះស្តេចនេះ គ្មានន័យអ្វីទៀតឡើយ ចំពោះស្រុកខ្មែរ ។
6:38 AM , you are such a good fortune teller , lets get back to your chalkboard and start talking about people's fate you might earn a few dollars today .
Hun Sen needs to learn to include all diplomatic people if he wants to remain in power or else people around the world will judge him base on his credibility and soon other action will be taken place just like Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel etc. Hun Sen must think deep and think twice as no one is immune to anything, no matter how rich or how powerful you are bad thing can happen you at any moment. So, please do the right thing, you have eyes to see and ears to hear,just be cautious, people's need come first, you must fulfill their needs before yours. As it is part of a prime minister job. Wisdom
7:39AM,
You got it all wrong! Mr. Sam Rainsy don't depend on the old useless king. He used diplomatic tactic to stab this idiot king with his own words. It is obvious because he sent the letter on the same date five years ago when this pathetic king said in Beijing.
Read the letter again! I hope you can really read Khmer, English or French.
thank you, 7:39AM.
9:25 am
After what the king had done for Cambodia, you still accusing him useless? What have you bastard done to contribute for Cambodia's cause beside borned with a bad mouth, a political blindness and short sighted? Disgustful creature like you is better off if not being born.
