Former Cambodian monarch says his health is deteriorating

Monday, December 08, 2008

PHNOM PENH (AFP) — Cambodia's former king Norodom Sihanouk said his health was deteriorating and hinted that he did not have long to live, in a letter seen on his website Monday.

The 86-year-old, who left for Beijing in July for his annual medical treatment, wrote in a message titled "The deterioration of the state of my health" that his "eminent Chinese doctors" had told his wife, former queen Monineath, that he should be hospitalised in case of emergency.

"My important and respected Chinese friends dare not speak about my death (from old age) in the not so distant future. But I told them I would prefer to die in 'my' residence instead of a hospital, where I have very comfortable apartments," Sihanouk said.

In the message, dated December 1 but only posted recently on his website, the former monarch added that doctors had increased their examinations from once a week to many times a week, and sometimes twice a day.

Sihanouk has suffered from a number of ailments, including cancer, diabetes and hypertension.

Despite giving up his role as monarch, he remains a prominent figure in Cambodia who often uses messages to weigh in on matters affecting the country.

All unkind hearted & mean spirited commenters here in this blog are not always Khmer citizens. If they are, they must be of younger generation from unhealthy family environment with severe mentally abuse.

These are low educated childish individuals whose mind is full of grudge, anger, hate and ignorance (a product of the uncleansed spirits). And they themselves will be at the final moment of their sad life sent into a place of indescribable torment for they are nothing but hate and contempt.

May the God continue to grant you a fair health, Samdech Ov. Long live, Samdech Ov. Most of your citizens love you.

Among the problems in this world one of them is that the poisonous ignorance are hiding behind the scene and bark from afar. You stupid and coward individuals. Your bloodline should have perished during the great chaos in srok Khmer, the Pol Pot era. I regreat you're still barking and hiding shamelessly.

@11:00pm.
So if Sihanouk did not gain independent from France, What would become of Cambodia? Can you speculate? Did the France leave Vietnam because they lost to the War or the World War forced them?
If we did not get Independent from France at the time could we get our independent when the French left?

Why did Sihanouk not ask the French to give Khmer Krom back to Cambodia at the time, what was the reasons?
Did he forget Khmer Krom?
