History

The greatest suffering of my life
By N. Sihanouk

Now (in May 2008) and until the end of my life, I suffer and I will suffer atrociously (morally) from the betrayal, humiliation and distortion of the truth of my (SRN – Sangkum Reastr Niyum) regime that the so-called “future Buddha” Lon Nol and the Lonnolian men and women – including Mrs. Billon Ung Bun Hor (this Ung Bun Hor who, a few hours after the entry of the victorious Polpotian Khmer Rouge into Phnom Penh on 17 April 1975, cowardly took refuge in the French Embassy … with a large suitcase filled with US banknotes, US dollars) – inflicted on me with an unheard of cruelty.

These Lon Nol, Lonnolians owed me everything: high position, honor, fortune. And the intellectuals, teachers, students who were “anti-Sihanouk at 500%” owed me for their high salaries (for the teachers) and their instruction (pupils, high school students, students thanks to the numerous schools, middle schools, high schools, (higher education) schools, universities, SRN institutes, and (thanks to) SRN and Royal Palace scholarships for studies and internships in Dalat, in France and in other European countries, in the USA, etc…). Starting from 19 March 1970 and up to 1975, prior to the Khmer Rouge victory, these people never hesitated to insult me, to unfairly drag me into the mud.

Lord Buddha taught us that ungratefulness is very big sin.

H.E. Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Hun Sen and their CPP did not owe me anything. Nevertheless, they very nobly gave me JUSTICE, as well as the Monarchy.
