    Khmer King is very dignified man, he keeps smiling and loving his people while his first enemy Hok Lundi was just dead.

    It has been noted in the many pictures of the King that he seems to have a rigid body movement. Wondering if he was a good ballet dancer. He should relax more and have natural body movement.

    Whatever he is a good dancer, but his first enemy, Viet spy Hoc Langdy who killed many of his people in cold blood was assassinated by his friend China.
    Cambodia has many Vietnamese spies also has Chinese spies too.
    It is ironic to know that this powerful Vietnamese spy Hoc Langdy was assassinated on Nov 9 or 9/11 at the same day China Ship left Cambodia to Thailand.

    Vietnamese are greedy people, they will lose big time when China rules, because USA is weak under Socialist Muslim Obama. He won't support Vietnam.

    I meant the powerful Viet spy Hoc Langdy killed many of the King's people which are Khmer people.

    Under Bush American helped Vietnam and closed their eyes whatever Viet did in Cambodia, was sick.

    Now China has most authority after Obama won, China Navy Ship with 400 soldiers visited Cambodia was to warn Vietnam that China is the boss.

    Never forget a night Hoc Langdy ordered his troops to surround palace royal and forced the King to sign while Hun Sen was nervous if the King didn't the gun would blow his head off, of course the Viet spies won't kill the King because of China.

    Look likes the war is now beginning between Ho Chi Minh and his evil troops against King Sihanouk with his son new King who represents him.

    Obama victory blows away Vietnam cruel intentions.

    This is a smoooth assassination because the assassins did not use bomb, but perhaps mechanical problem. Using bomb was too obvious and it could jeopadize the mission and could harm Khmer innocence people by the cruel Vietnamese troops may do to them at night or else.

    Cambodia has mostly Vietnamese spies under this notoriously killer Hok Landi, but China has her spies too and so is Thailand.

    Don't forget Sok An is Sino_Khmer and he is not fonded of Hok Langdi.

    Dear Mr. Sam Raingsy,

    According to HUN SEN, one only lives and dies once - As such, He (HUN SEN) must be the only ruler of Cambodia because his GOD (the Viet/Yuon) puts him there. It is up to YOU and the Cambodian people to figure out the rest.

    [Selon HUN SEN, on ne vit et meurt qu'une seule fois. Comme tel, HUN SEN lui, doit etre seulement le seul a regner car son Dieu a lui (Le Viet/Yuon) l'a place la au Cambodge. C'est a vous et le peuple Cambodigien de regler le reste.]

    បើតាម អាហ៊ុនសែន គេរស់តែម្ដងហើយក៏
    ស្លាប់តែម្ដងដែរ។ ដូច្នេះត្រូវមានតែវាម្នាក់
    គត់ដែលជាអ្នកគ្រប់គ្រងស្រុកខ្មែរ ពីព្រោះ
    អាយួនកន្តបដែលជាព្រះរបស់វាបានយកវា
    មកដាក់បន្តុបនៅក្នុងស្រុកខ្មែរ។ អ្វីៗផ្សេងៗ
    ទៀតមានតែលោក សំរង្សី​ ឯងនឹងប្រជាពល
    រដ្ធខ្មែរជាអ្នកដោះស្រាយ៕

    Yup. The Viet Spy Hok Lundi was assassinated on 9/11 at the same day China Navy ship left Cambodia to Thailand.

    Obama supported by China and Russian and he won't care about Vietnamese anymore, so China will rule. I hope China takes Vietnam and stop her from crawling invading others.

    The assassins must got high paid or must be somebody who are genius in technical stuffs. No bomb used that was amazing. If bomb was used the Viet commies would kill more Khmers from wrongfully accused.

    Your Majesty Samdech Ta former King Norodom Sihanouk,

    Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,

    Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.
    What we need is prevention methods, not to let this type of accident happen again in the future.

    It also makes me very worried to see so much alcohol allowed to enter or be produced in our beloved Kingdom of Cambodia? What about “ YA BA “ and other types of DRUGS from Thailand and Vietnam?

    Can His Majesty Samdech Ta and Samdech Hun Sen stop all sorts of drugs coming to Cambodia? The accident may not be related to drugs and alcohol but just some thing that I could not sleep peacefully from now on to the future, in the names sake of true Khmer citizen.

    Can Samdech Hun Sen kindly ask all 5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants to peacefully return to Vietnam, so Koh Pich will not be too crowded more and more every day, every month and every year to come.
    All Vietnamese illegal immigrants can easily come in and settle inside Cambodia even though they already have their own country Vietnam.

    When Cambodia is too crowded, definitely we Khmer people can not go to settle inside Vietnam, can we?
    Please Vietnamese, you said you came to rescue us from Pol Pot, and you don’t want to return home, it is not right according to 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, can all of you go back to your country now.

    Vietnamese illegal immigrants, you see because 5 million of you are inside Cambodia, it makes us too crowded and we wasted our lives at Koh Pich without good reasons.

    Your Vietnamese Communism expansionist mind in Cambodia, is to give an excuse to China mainland to occupy your Spratly Islands, Parcel Islands, the whole of your Eastern sea border and perhaps the Northern border sooner or later.

    5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia, please go back home to defend your country from Chinese mighty economic invasion.

    May I pray to God and the Lord Jesus Christ that those who have lost loved one will be comforted.

    My condolences to all the victim's family.

    Regards,

    Kulen Monorom
