"The Great (sic!) King"

07 January 2012
Op-Ed by Pissed Off

Merci, Monsieur Ras-le-bol (Pissed Off) for an interesting op-ed!
One should not underestimate King Father Norodom Sihanouk's ability to maneuver the government in power to do what he desires for his funeral services even at his current age as long as he continues to provide them with the support they need and don't speak out at all against any kind of injustice no matter how bad it is; certainly his wish will be honored by the current government!

After all, only Keat Chon who is known as Mr. "Flower blooming in all seasons" can beat King Father when it comes to getting something from the government of the day.

Despite the mistakes he made by calling his supporters to join the KR in the Maquis and defending their government at the UN in December of 1975 just a few months before he resigned from the position of the Head of State of Democratic Kampuchea, he managed to return to Cambodia, restored his monarchy, passed it on to his son and last but not least received a title of "The Great King in Cambodian language".

He also managed to get Hun Sen to grant him the immunity from the ECCC.

Mark you, a lot of money will be spent for his funeral!

If I were him, to show my responsibility, courage to face my mistakes in the past that helped lead to past Cambodian tragedy of such enormous proportion the history of the world has ever recorded and compassion, I would ask that all the money, flowers and other things not be spent or bought, but used to provide a good meal for all the people and children at all the dump sites and other poor beggers on the street in Cambodia.

A decently simple funeral would be good enough in a country where there are still a lot of poor people suffering due to the mistakes of their own leaders.

It is unfortunate that King Father has never learnt to understand the concept of humility, responsibility and prefers not to write in Khmer, the language of the country he has declared so many times he loves.

After all, French is a dying language on international stage anyway. I hardly use it nowadays, except to read news about Cambodia from AFP!

That is why people called Sdach Sihanouk Ah Sdach Lob or Ah Sdach Chkuot Min Batt.

Hell has opened its door already and will suck him into it. There will be no time for people to waste money to bury him.

What would you do if you were the King?
What would you do when your boat sink in the middle of the infested water full of Crocodiles?
Let lay all out, how your plan will help the country.
I'M not any side of the politic, but I love to see Khmer love Khmer until we have defeated the enemies.

ស្តាចមន៍ និងក្រុមគ្រួសារស្តាចមន៍ សីហនុ ពួកវាជ្រើសរើសផ្លូវនេះ។ ទង្វើរបស់ សីហនុ និងបក្សពួក បង្ហាញថា ពួកវាយល់ស្របនិងហ៊ុន សែន គ្មានបំណងណាមួយចង់រើបម្រះនោះទេ។

សីហនុ និងក្រុមស្តាចមន៍របស់ពួកវា គឺគ្មានជម្រើសអីទៀតទេ ក្រៅពីលក់ក្បាលអោយហ៊ុនសែន ដើម្បីរស់។

សីហនុ និងក្រុមបក្សពួកស្តាចមន៍របស់វា ប្រៀបដូចជាមហាសេដ្ឋីមានទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិដ៏មហាសាល ប៉ុន្តែបានយកទៅលេងល្បែងចាញ់អស់

ហើយដើរសុំទានអ្នកឈ្នះដើម្បីរស់ប៉ុណ្ណោះ។

សីហនុ និងបក្សពួក តាំងពីមានអំណាចមានកងទ័ព តទល់និងហ៊ុន សែន រហូតសល់បាតដៃទទេ។ តើយើងយកអាមនុស្សធុននេះ មកធ្វើអី ពួកវាប្រៀបដូចជាមេរោគក្នុងសង្គមមនុស្សតែ ប៉ុណ្ណោះ

DO NOT TRUST VIETNAM!!

VIETNAM TRICK!

THAT IS WHY AMERICAN LOST WAR WITH VIETNAM!!!

EY,

But you write in English?

Pissed off is not a King nor a government official and his writing here is not official, so he can write in whatever language is easier for him!

KI site has more English articles than Khmer so the response can be in either language and if you don't understand, well, that is just too bad. Go back to school to learn English!

អាសីហនុខុសមិនទទួលកំហុស។វាជាមុនស្សឥត
តម្លៃ។វាមិនដឹងថា រាស្រ្តខ្មែរស្អប់វាទេ។ រាស្ត្រ ខ្មែរត្រូវតែបំបាត់ពូជស្ដេចចោលពីប្រទេសខ្មែរ។

Ah Sihanouk does not admit his
mistakes.He is a worst man.
He does not know that Khmer people
hate him. Khmer people must wipe
monarchy out of Cambodia.

did you all know that during sihanouk's sangkum reastr niyum era, the elitists during that time prefer to only speak in french as if they all ashamed to speak their own language, our khmer language or something. now tell me why they did that? maybe they all ashamed of speaking in khmer or something. to me, that was stupid of them not to speak in khmer to each other all the time. now that the stupid khmer killed most of those so-called elitists from that era, most are now speak only in khmer for a change, thank god for being khmer again, really!

my suggestion is khmer people should not be ashamed to speak our beautiful khmer language to each all the time, especially when we meet each and in cambodia, etc...
