Don't like my website, don't read it!: No violent criticism accepted by King-Father

Translated from French by Tola Ek
Communiqué from
Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia

Beijing, P.R. of China, 27 December 2009

Recently, I received a letter from the US (the author of which does not bear an Anglo-Saxon name) criticizing me very violently about my Internet website (which includes daily: (a) vocabulary, (b) cooking (c) music and song, (d) the national edification of Cambodia under the Sangkum Reastr Niyum between 1955 and 1969).

I am telling all “concerned” individuals that nobody is obliged to learn about my daily Internet website. If they don’t like it, they should just stop reading it.

The never ending tit-for-tat saga between King-Father and his critics: Thank Buddha, none of them has access to Intercontinental Ballistic Missile!

“A Khmer Woman from France
Gives me a lesson about Patriotism,”
By Norodom Sihanouk

Beijing, P.R. of China, 17 April 2009

Yesterday, a letter from France came to me from a Khmer woman in France (who wrote in appalling French). Among other things, this Cambodian woman in France reproached me for staying in China rather than returning to Cambodia.

In “response,” I sent to this Khmer woman in France copies of my communiqués and messages sent successively to my beloved compatriots about my 3rd cancer (lymphoma B), the treatment of which requires several months at the Beijing State Central Hospital (P.R. of China).

My Compatriots from Cambodia perfectly understand the necessity for me to stay several months still in Beijing. They pray for my cure.

The fact this Khmer woman in France is reproaching me for staying in China, whereas she remains (all her life) in France, is laughable.
