Former King Norodom Sihanouk, who for years has issued a monthly bulletin, announced Friday he will no longer publish articles about politics.

In a note hand-written in French from Beijing, the former monarch said he will stop commenting on politics or news articles from Cambodia and other countries.

In the past, Sihanouk often clipped newspaper articles and scribbled his comments in the margins, binding them together in a monthly bulletin and publishing comments on his Web site, www.norodomsihanouk.info.

Starting March 1, "until I die, I will stop writing articles relating to Cambodia and other countries," Sihanouk wrote.

He will continue helping with social activities, the mercurial leader said. His commentary will be missed, officials on both sides of Cambodia's political divide said Friday.

"If the former king continues to help us with his experience and his political theories, it is very good for his subjects, myself included, because politics involves a lot of strategy," CPP lawmaker Cheam Yiep said.

Of course Excellency Chheam Yeap & the whole CCP truly miss His Majesty the King Father's comments as His Majesty, as he has declared, can never be able to speak against RGC especially the Prime Minister Hun Sen, but praise to the highest of Hun Sen's Government performance to starve and rob Cambodian people and sold Cambodian sovereignty to foreigner.
Who would not miss this sort of comment?
