Prince Ranariddh has returned from 18 months of self-imposed exile in Malaysia, dodging his 2007 prison sentence for fraud
AFTER 18 months in self-imposed exile, Norodom Ranariddh set foot on Cambodian soil Sunday, just days after a royal amnesty from King Norodom Sihamoni overturned the Prince's fraud conviction.
The Prince touched down at Siem Reap airport Sunday morning accompanied by his female companion Ouk Phalla, his son Norodom Sotheariddh and a group of close advisers.
"I'm happy to return to my homeland after 18 months of exile," the Prince told the Post at his royal residence in Siem Reap. "I wish to express my deep thanks to the King and Prime Minister Hun Sen for allowing my return."
Prince Ranariddh has been living in Malaysia since March 2007, when he was sentenced to 18 months in jail for embezzling funds from the sale of property belonging to his former party, Funcinpec. The King issued a royal amnesty for the Prince on Thursday on the request of Prime Minister Hun Sen, formerly Ranariddh's main political rival.
Despite past tensions between the two politicians, Prince Ranariddh struck a conciliatory note on Sunday, pledging his party's support for Hun Sen's new government. "I have served my nation for almost 25 years. But after the July election, the Norodom Ranariddh Party [NRP] is not an opposition party like other parties, and we are ready, on any occasion, to serve our nation," he said.
NRP spokesman Suth Dina told the Post that Prince Ranariddh spoke with Prime Minister Hun Sen on the telephone shortly after his arrival in Siem Reap and that they exchanged words of reconciliation. "They told each other that they were like brothers," he said.
Suth Dina added that while Ranariddh was not retiring from political life altogether, he had no immediate plans for a political comeback. "Upon his return, he wishes only to spend time with his family, friends and colleagues and participate in the P'Chum Ben festival. He has no immediate political agenda," he said, adding that the Prince plans to formally address the Cambodian press on October 2.
Cambodian People's Party lawmaker Cheam Yeap said Sunday that the Prince's return was a symbol of national reconciliation.
"When Prince Ranariddh arrives back and asks the CPP leaders to meet, the Prince will be welcomed. The CPP doesn't care about Ranariddh's politics, whether he continues to be involved in politics or not," he said.

Hun Sen Revealed An Unnamed Lady Who Wanted To Gouge Out His Eye
Rasmei Kampuchea Daily
Translated by Khmerization
To read the article in Khmer click here
Samdech Decho Hun Sen (pictured) has publicly said that an unnamed lady, who stole someone’s husband, has insulted him by saying that she will gouge out his other eye, if her husband wins an election and she has a chance to return back to Cambodia. Despite this, Samdech Hun Sen said that he is trying to eliminate a culture of “when the tide swells, the fish eat the ants, and when the tide recedes the ants eat the fish” (revenge) - meaning that he does not wish to harbour any revenge against anyone.
Speaking at an inauguration ceremony of an Islamic mosque in Russei Keo district near Phnom Penh on the 15th of May, Mr. Hun Sen said that, according to his intelligence, “there is a lady who stole someone’s husband who said that if her husband wins the election and when she returns to back to Cambodia, she will gouge out another eye of Ah Sen (the contemptible Sen)”.
Samdech Hun Sen did not name the lady in question. However, many political observers believe that he was referring to Mrs. Ouk Phalla, second wife of Prince Ranariddh, who is now living in exile with the prince in a foreign country.
Samdech Hun Sen said that he is sad to hear that someone has insulted him in this manner and, as he is also a human being, he regrets to see such a lady (a husband stealer) insulting him in such a manner. He said that in his entire life he has painfully endured and has survived many vicious attempts on his life and sometimes someone spread vicious rumours around that he was already dead. And there was an attempt on my life with rocket attacks in Siem Reap (1998), and now someone wanted to gouge out his other eye, he said. Samdech Hun Sen added that these sort of language means that the person wanted to take his life even before she takes power.
However, Samdech Hun Sen said that he is trying to rid of a culture of “when the tide swells, the fish eat the ants, and when the tide recedes the ants eat the fish” (revenge) and he does not want to take any revenge against anyone. He said that in the past, when Lon Nol (the Khmer Rouge?) took power, they eliminated all Lon Nol’s supporters. He said that he wanted to rid of this culture for the sake of territorial unity with his win-win policy, so that no one will take revenge against anyone, but trying to compete against each other through election.
