Will the dead Lon Nol, Sirik Matak, In Tam, Cheng Heng rise up from their grave to answer King-Father's claim that they own foreign bank accounts?

Dramatic-Funny Story
By N. Sihanouk

Following the 18 March 1970 anti-Sihanouk and anti-Khmer-monarchy Putsch led by Lon Nol and Sirik Matak, In Tam, Cheng Heng, Mr. In Tam said: “Mrs. Monique Sihanouk owns a large fortune, a huge mountain of US dollars stashed in a British bank. In a room of this British bank, Monique Sihanouk’s US dollar bills almost pierce the roof (sic!!) of this British bank.

Since Monique Sihanouk owns another mountain of US dollars, she decided to entrust this mountain of US dollars to a Swiss Bank.

In Beijing, my wife, Monique, immediately convened the International media (their reporters in Beijing). She told them: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am giving you on this very same moment, in writing and with my signature, the authorization to do a research on British and Swiss banks that Mr. In Tam talked about on the so-called US dollars that I would have owned. If you find any, you can take them all (these US dollars). This fortune will belong to you.

Reporters of the major International media went to the banks involved (in the UK and Switzerland). They did not find anything which belonged to me or to my wife Monique. However, they discovered that Lon Nol and some of his accomplices in the 18 March 1970 Putsch in Cambodia had money deposited in foreign banks (overseas).

History

“When the 18 March 1970 Putschists and their young supporters were divided”
By N. Sihanouk

The great, serious and prestigious French newspaper, “Le Monde,” (successively) published in 1972, several articles dedicated to Lonnolian students who started to denounce the extreme decay of the Lonnolian regime (Khmer Republic), its dictatorship, its multiple other flaws; (several articles) dedicated also to In Tam, to the “famous” Sirik Matak and other “Khmer Republic” personalities who became fierce “opponents” to Lon Nol, (and) who denounced their own regime formed on 18 March 1970.

(80s Decade). H.E. In Tam even became “Sihanoukist” again, and I made him “Commander of the Sihanoukist armed forces” … until the moment when the Republic of Singapore told me “not to use In Tam anymore” –sic!–

H.E. Cheng Heng also “returned” back to me.

I consider that H.E. In Tam and H.E. Cheng Heng derserve my affection (or, more precisely, the return of my affection to the two of them). As for Prince Sirik Matak, I raised his wife and his children to the rank of Royal Highnesses.
