Frail King Father sets no deadline for his return to Cambodia
KING Father Norodom Sihanouk has said he will remain in Beijing for several months more in order to continue receiving medical treatment. Sihanouk, who is 87, was last in Cambodia in August 2008 and has not fixed a return date.
In a statement issued Saturday from Beijing, he said the Chinese doctors were continuing to treat him for cancer.
"I have the great honour of presenting to my lovely compatriots the kindness [China's] eminent doctors are showing in curing my third cancer (lymphoma B)," he said in a handwritten statement, but added that he did not know when his cancer would be cured.
"Every month at the Beijing Central Hospital there is chemotherapy, injections and a drip (that lasts seven hours). This treatment, which is indispensable, will last four, five or six months," he wrote.
He said his condition was being monitored through the use of MRI and PET scans.
"If it is completely cured, they will provide two more drips (seven hours for each drip) to prevent the cancer coming back."
Sihanouk's statement came three days after the 39th anniversary of the March 1970 coup in which he was overthrown by General Lon Nol, who abolished the Cambodian monarchy and set up a republican regime.
On March 20, he sent a letter of gratitude to Prime Minister Hun Sen, who referred to the 1970 coup in an address on the anniversary.
Sihanouk wrote: "I would like to thank you very much for giving justice to me and our nation's history in your speech."
In his speech at the National Institute of Education's annual congress on March 18, Hun Sen blamed the coup for unleashing decades of civil war and the 1975 victory of Khmer Rouge.
"If there was no coup d'etat on March 18, 1970, dismissing [Sihanouk], the war would not have taken place and the Pol Pot regime would not have been created either," Hun Sen said.
"If they had let Sihanouk lead the country, Cambodia would have developed more and would have prevented millions of deaths."

The ghost of the Lon Nol regime has haunted King Sihanouk the most because he was the one who told Lon Nol to carry out his orders from A to Z.
ReplyDeleteI think this idiot king is worrying about Khmer trial. He has led his khmer rouge troops until his success in 1975 and has killed all National army, National police and all public servants. He has killed all of those who have supported Marshall Lon Nol. But now he is too scared with one a few judges seeking justice for those who have perished their lives by this very arrogant king.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we must not allows pouk Ah Scam Rainxy (Lon Nol 2) to drag us back to year zero again.
ReplyDeleteWhat wrong with my x-kink that HE always spend time in CHINA?Does CHINA has something special?If you(sihanuk)don't wan to be CAMBODIAN please stay out there for ever.This time you should do good symbol for next generation.Even the bad thins you have done.
ReplyDeleteSihanouk should be put on trial for the losses of almost 2 millions of Khmer inhabitants life and hung high if found guilty. It's that simple!!!
ReplyDelete[Sihanouk devrait etre mis au tribunal pour la perte de presque de 2 millions de la vie des habitants khmers et pendu haut s'il est trouve coupable. C'est tres simple]

6:30AM,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments 100%! and by the way this king should stay where he at, and shut his pie-hole!, Khmer people do not wanted him to kills more souls...
6:30AM! your comments read my mind, King Sihanouk is the most cruel king!
ReplyDeleteCan anybody guess where this king known as Sihanouk will die? In Beijing, Pyongyang, Hanoi, Paris, Phnom Penh (Nam Yang), Hawaii? 100 bucks in cold cash for the correct one!
ReplyDeleteMy dear King Ta,
ReplyDeletePlease be brave! Go to testify at the Khmer Rouge trial.
Don't be afraid. We soup port you!
DEAR 7:55am
ReplyDeleteThis former king has no gut to testify as our khmer ordinary wanted to see,but good at lying.Remind me of not too long ago his wife and him will go to khmer rouge court when they create one,but instead he invited the judge to the Palace to listen his bull shit ,do you think Sihaknuk dare face the facts? This sdach akateik,selfishness,stupid ,ignorant and cold blood killer his head is full of the shit ,he helped vietcong to kill his own people and continue to,but for his families 's throne he's not going to say youn is crocodile any more(records every where on the net in Sihaknuk crime) I do not call this guy the king or somdach,I call this man a killer with it animal cruel of thinking this man deserved to put big hammer and smash it on it head.
Where is the sin or what ever kamar?
Is it does exist why don't this man die ugly as the kamar he lead pol pot and called Vietcong to help and kill Cambodian people?
Dear Cambodian brothers and sisters at this dangerous time please keep that thinking (barb) aside. Don't we need to eat big fish,chicken,beef bacon ect. so we have to do something to get those meat right? Japanese use to sacrifice their live for their country by THINKING THEY ARE REBORN IN FIVE DAY IF THEY LOST THEIR LIVE FOR THEIR COUNTRY,why not Cambodian people?
Khmer Rouge thanks to Khmer Rouge and supports each other. As I qouted from history King Father asked many people to overthrown the King himself such as Samdach Pen Nuth, Samdach Son Sann,In Tam who disagreed the order but except H.E Lon Nol accepted the order). Referring to the agreement of Bandong King allowed North Vietnam (Yuon Vietcong) to deploy troops into Khmer territory to fight against American and South Vietnam troops. The King was very sorry to his wrong decision-making. Then the King asked H.E Lon Nol finally to make coup on 18 March 1970 to restore the situation and fight back Vietcong. H.E Ronald Regen, President of USA was angry the King then USA bombed vietcong troops along the Khmer-VN border and American supported Lon Nol regime and not allowed Lon Nol to negotiate with the King, who accused Lon Nol the trator. Finally the King announced from Beijing to people (Khmer Rouge-included Chea Sim, Heng Samrin and Hun Sen) to go to forest (Prey Marki-Markea) to resist against the Trator Lon Nol.
ReplyDeleteThe King never listent to his advisors such as Samdech Pen Nuth and Samdech Son Sann not to create a such terrible story (coup de'tate).
In summary referring to the Bandong agreement in Indonesia, the king might benefit from that agreement but not and Ho Chi Minh might share haft of Kampuchea Krom land to Khmer? (Secret agreement between Ho chi Mihn and the King).
People who went to Prey Marki-Markea (forest) were the Khmer Rouge.
I was 5-6 years old during Pol Pot regime.Sorry I defamed my Father King and the Thugs. Thank you, Ki-media-Senarak
8:44AM .
ReplyDeleteThis is the real history ,you were very young at that time but your memories is so awesome, I wrote out many times the history are almost the same to yours but I ve got insulted,but for Cambodia and it people ,we have to sacrifice the times and all resources if we could it doesn't matter we got curse from Monarchy and Hun youn slave,because ,we all owed our mother land with the high cost.
May Buddha bless you and all khmer nationalism.
They are all ignorant and selfish. With it, Cambodians are playing the prize for their mistakes. Cambodians must learn to charge of their future... stop being a fools.
ReplyDeleteDon't fuck with my king you motherfucker! You are asshole just fuck with khmer,but you scaring Viet and Siem!
ReplyDeleteNope we don't...but you go ahead f*** with your king 9:25 AM...okay? He's all yours...Hahaha!
ReplyDeletekhmers united, more power to khmer people. god bless our royal family and every khmer people and cambodia.
ReplyDeleteWho are exactly being Khmer righteous in here?
ReplyDeleteThe same dysfunctional sytcom members of KI cursing King Sihanouk, and KI is now Khmer Incompetent. Its members claimed to have intelligence. NADA wisdom.
King Sihanouk has both wisdom and intelligence. He inherited a bankrupt nation left over since
14th century, Siam sacked the whole Kingdom, a weaked pawn between French and Vietnam. The Khmers were running amok against French believed the Vietnamese, then the return of Vietnamese along with sleeping army in Cambodia. Would you care to know from Phan Boi Chau to Ho Chi Minh?
Boi Chau was the first Vietnamese revolutionist to reclaim Indochina for Vietnam since 1900's.
Thousand to million Vietnamese were well trained to speak Khmer and to be Khmers. They're among Khmers. I met them. (No News not in History).
Cambodia was not lost but these intelligence Khmers at least they claimed they are intelligent Khmers (without wisdom), believing in Vietnamese propaganda lost.
Intelligent Khmers believe everything politicinas tell them?
I count the glory of Khmer Kings who built this nation to support and protect King Sihanouk and Cambodia will pull through this tragedy with China helps.
It's a great honor to hear that you are going to stay in China. Do you know what samdatt ta tout? Your drops had a lot of poison material in it, so please don't come back and kill your kone chavs alright? Just stay well in China and drop all of your stink poops on China land. Good job lok ta tout.
ReplyDeleteO come on Pu Preul prout prass 11:44AM. If our King wants to ride on dragon and the dragon let him be, why not?

Without ta kachas in court,the trial is not fair.I bet khiev samphan,DUCH,NUON CHEA,IENG SARY ,IENG THIRITH are anxious to meet their old comrade in their cell.
ReplyDeleteCourt don't let him get away with it,without him(sihanouk),khmer rouge had no chance in killing their own people.
Sihanouk is a loser! he let his country down and people trust...
ReplyDeleteDumbass king got fools by China/Viet, he's a loser yep!
ReplyDeleteI am not worried about these critics, it is their political rights.
ReplyDeleteThey're being self righteous and their proofs are proved to be hollow. These dysfunctional sytcom members of KI are not problem solvers.
If we disagree with their extreme backward conventional, we must be idiots, not that they do know they are the ones.
Exactly I said King Sihanouk is intelligence and has wisdom.
Cursing is not the answer because, what you wish is not what you will get.
Amey Athong for life.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only words you can put in your argument paper "amey athong for life", clueless 2 24am.
ReplyDeleteThey are extreme conventional backward like FS said. They bark and they talk the talk but they cannot nuke. The same people who made enemy with French, and the French brought back the Vietnamese to control Cambodia affair. What a joke!!
