| Cambodian royal brahmen lead a Royal float carrying Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni, former Queen Monineath and urns loaded with the remains of the late former King Sihanouk from the cremation site near the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, on February 7, 2013, following his cremation on February 4 |
AFP News – 02/07/2013
Cambodia on Thursday wrapped up a week-long funeral for its revered former King Norodom Sihanouk with a procession to return the cremated remains of the colourful ex-monarch to the royal palace.
After chanting by 90 Buddhist monks, two diamond-studded gold urns and one marble urn containing the remains were transported atop a golden float shaped like a mythological bird from the crematorium to the palace.
"This is to honour his majesty who is the greatest hero of Cambodia," Sihanouk's long-time personal assistant Prince Sisowath Thomico told AFP.
The rest of the remains had been lowered into the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Tonle Bassac rivers in Phnom Penh on Tuesday.
Sihanouk's widow Monique and his son King Norodom Sihamoni travelled on the float with the urns during a televised procession attended by senior government officials, including Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The urns will be kept in a stupa inside the palace, where before his death Sihanouk had asked to be placed with his favourite daughter, Kantha Bopha, who died aged three.
Sihanouk died of a heart attack in Beijing in October, aged 89.
After lying in state for three months, his embalmed body was cremated on Monday after several days of lavish ceremonies including an elaborate procession through the streets of Phnom Penh that drew crowds of mourners.
A father of 14 children over six marriages, Sihanouk abdicated in 2004 after steering Cambodia through six decades marked by independence from France, civil war, the murderous Khmer Rouge regime, his own exile and finally peace.
Many elderly Cambodians credit him with overseeing a rare period of political stability in the 1950s and 1960s, following independence, until the Khmer Rouge emerged in the 1970s.

They could have spent the money on the needy children of Cambodian and it would had been better.
The dude is already death and he had caused 3 million death and he blaimed it on the Khmer Rouge. Of course, he was the leader of the Khmer Rouge.
Screw up country is always a screw up.
He is not a "great hero" of Cambodian people. Why is these small minority of Cambodian people were mis-information and propagandized info to the farmer people.
He had blood in his hands and so is his families.
It is pathetic of how Khmer people consider this idiot to be a hero. He had done nothing beside being a play boy and power hunger. When he was in power, this guy is no different then his son Hun Sen. As long as there is a Monarchy, he is willing to suck Hun Sen's Dick. What they should have done to his body was to chop it up and feeding it to the cracodiles. The reason that American dropped the Bombs in Cambodia because of Sihanouk. The reason for Khmer Rough with 2 milions death because of Sihanouk. The reason for CPP in power because of Sihanouk. The reason that Youn stealing Khmer's land because of Sihanouk. This man never did care about the Cambodian people. It was all about his family and the thrown for his God Damn Son. Politician like Hun Sen, or Sam Rainsey can not use his name anymore. The truth, these guys don't like Sihanouk either, but they used his name knowing that the poor uneducated Cambodian still like Sihanouk. Cambodia was the victim of the Monarchy. Within the last 100 years, the Monarchy like Sihanouk causing too much damage. Cambodian should abolish Monarchy because their existence has no benefit for the people. It won't be long there will be war in Cambodia and this time there won't be Sihanouk to change the outcome like he did in 1998. Therefore, this bastard death is the best thing ever happen to the Cambodian people.
Sihanouk is in the hot cooking Pan of Hell forever for God made this Hell for this kind of people. This playboy killed millions of Khmers innocent. He slept with any women he wanted ( except his mother), even his aunt. He killed her husband first then took her as his woman.
NOW SIHANOUK IS HELL WITH ONE OF HIS SON, VERY SOON HIS WIFE WILL JOIN HIM, AND LATER HIS SECOND SON, THE STUPID KING WIIL BE IN HELL AS WELL, SO, WHOLE GOOD FAMILY ENJOYS LIVING IN HEEL.

I agree with you 100%, 'bless are you who have eyes to see and ears to hear' and only the chosen ones can see and hear and you are one of them.
'the truth will always be the thruth' Ghandi, 'when you are cruel, you are doing it to yourself' e.g Kingta was very cruel and in the end his family was scattered around the world like a lost sheep....'what you do is what you will get' ...' what goes around comes around' karma....for life is too short might as well do good...the kingdom of god shall belong to the righteous people only...This is the words of all Gods. so, might as well do good.
For Hun Sen, isn't thirty years enough already? what good is there, if you are to follow the same foot steps as Kingta...or what good is there, if you only know to how to steal from your own people? Cambodia is losing territory bit by bit on both sides, what have you done?
This time please do the right, please do it for our country and nation but if you are member of a VC please, let khmer people go because we all have our own state sovereignty, we all are being created by God and so what gives you the right to kill his people who he created?.
Please let go of us, I believe every nation has its own good and bad people, but I also hope that the good will win in the end like always. But if not god will send shunami to kill them just he did before, Just imagine as a parents if you see one of your children hit one of his sibling, what do you do?
you would ask who started first. e,g if one is to steal other's pen and if he/she wants it back, as a mother/father you would take it and give it back to whom ever it belongs to and would punish the one who start the problem
e.g giving time out, that no pocket money for a week, or ban him/her from going out this week....which known as punishment, which means you can not run away from any kind of injustice because god is just and he knows who is good or bad.
Your barbaric Cambodians from 11:25 PM to 7:41 AM are not getting over King Sihanouk's funeral? Primitive and Barbarians such you and your people never deserve good leaders besides lowest class and uneducated people such as Hun Sen and his clowns. King Sihanouk may be the only leader that has some sort of education and from royal blood that you may have.
Furthermore, this rich funeral funded by Japan and China, and we bid that the clowns CPP did not even use up all the money from China and Japan at all.
To those more than 10 million Cambodians, King Sihanouk is their hero, because they knew more than the Barbarians such as yourself.
Believe me that no others want to see your existence continue on this planet. The land of Cambodia should be rewarded to Japan or other intelligent humans beings. You Cambodians are wasting the space of this planet.
12:11, you are an idiot. Stop being so naive. People like you who are clueless is why Youn able to steal our land. You are so blindly following the dump King and willingness to give up your own wife to him. Sihanouk was not a good leader and he only cared about the damn thrown. This man was not educated. Any one you need to call barbaric is stupid Sihanouk and you. What have this man done beside wanting people to respect him. He was a play boy and even sleep with his own aunts. Causing 2 millions Khmer lives was his doing. Allowing Viet Cong to infiltrated Cambodian resulting in United Stated to bomb Cambodia was his doing. Allowing Hun Sen to mistreating the Cambodian people was his doing. As long as his son continueing to be on the thrown he doen't give a shit about you and the suffering Cambodian people. Stop being so freaken blind and study more about your own history to find out who was the caused of the problems.
lork sam rainsy, how can you miss or mourn a king killer who murdered your own father - lork sam sary and nearly 3 million other innocent Khmer? is it for the sake of power and title? you are a disgrace to your deceased father. i really question your judgement and character!
