King-Father cancels all audience and visits ... because his moral is and will remain very low

Communiqué
From
Norodom Sihanouk
Phnom Penh, September 27, 2007

I am expressing my most affectionate, deepest, and moving gratitude to all the Khmer and Foreign Personalities and People who, very often, approve me, send me, have gifts, fruits, dishes, desserts, candies etc… etc… delivered to me.

I am very touched by their noble gestures and I will never forget them as being “Sihanoukists” or sympathizers, friends, “relatives” ….

But, I am asking to all of you not to send me anything anymore, not to offer me, and this, starting from today.

Regarding the requests for audience, I would be very grateful to all the Personalities and People not to ask to see me, and to all those close to me, not to give me impromptu visit or otherwise, because my moral is and will remain very low.

Thank you infinitely

(Signed) Norodom Sihanouk
