1- In order not to make the monarchy – which is again threatened of being “swept out” – disappear too fast, as its “Dean,” I am taking the liberty to ask the esteemed Members (Ladies & Gentlemen) of the Khmer Royal Family not to say or write that FUNCINPEC was formed by N. Sihanouk; not to say or write that such and such parties or groups are “Royalist” or “Sihanoukist” or SangkumReastrNiyumian.

2- To all members of the Khmer Royal Family and to all my compatriots (Older Brothers, Younger Brothers, Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Great Great Grandchildren), please accept the assurance of my very deepest affection with my fervent Buddhist wishes of Ayu, Vanna, Sokha, Poleak, Padepheanak.
