Ex-king Sihanouk returns to Cambodia

PHNOM PENH — Cambodia's ailing former king Norodom Sihanouk returned home on Thursday from Beijing where he spent nearly three months receiving medical treatment.

Sihanouk and his wife, accompanied by their son King Norodom Sihamoni, were given a red-carpet welcome by family members, Prime Minister Hun Sen and other senior officials upon arrival at Phnom Penh airport.

A smiling Sihanouk, who will turn 89 on October 31, pressed his hands together in a traditional greeting to well-wishers before getting into a car that whisked him off to the royal palace.


"The health of his majesty has been good," Sihanouk's personal secretary Prince Sisowath Thomico told AFP, adding that the former monarch may stay in Cambodia for "many months" this time.

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

One of Asia's longest-serving monarchs, the revered king abruptly quit the throne in October 2004 in favour of his son, citing old age and health problems.

Despite abdicating, Sihanouk remains hugely popular and tens of thousands of Cambodians are expected to flock to the palace on Sunday to mark the 20th anniversary of his return to the country from exile after years of civil war.

    Some of his people cursing this old king to suffer and die fast, but the more they curse and wish him die, this old monarch is still living and going to 100 years old soon.
    The mistake he made was allowing Yuon to use his land. He should massacre those Khmers who joined Communists like King Bhumibol did.
    Oh who am I to predict the future of mankind. May be Khmers are being punished for being aggressive against others during the empire they built.

    What the point of the king living until 100 years old with no happiness. With chroniclce deseases being placed upon by Karma I said it's a punishment instead. After all, he's the one who caused Cambodia to become where we are today.

For the rest of year, this guy enjoys the vacation in China. Giving a small token to these poor is enough to show his fake caring to satisfy himself.

    Some comments stated that the ex-king begged for forgiveness for his action. When? If I am not mistaken this is what he said: It's true two millions Khmer were killed, some of my relatives were killed too. The ex-king never admit that what he did was wrong, let alone begging for forgiveness.

    That was why I said this old monarch should have executed his own people who joined the Communists like King Bhumibol did. Bhumibol defeated Communists brought into Thailand by Vietnamese communist movement in 1900's, then King Bhumibol and the US joined hand massacred those Communist Thais and Thailand did not go through Communist regime like Cambodia.
    The South East Asian people are so idiots, they are easy brainwashed by anything, therefore the leader must be tough to keep the tiny country safe from the Communists. Sihanouk should had executed those who're brainwashed by the Communists.

    Between Thai King and Khmer King I'd choose King Sihanouk over King Bhumibol. Suffered once which was unavoidable but Cambodia is getting better. King Sihanouk did it because the US and UK did not declare that they'd protect and defend Cambodia from their dogs Ngo Dinh Diem and Bhumibol who continued to take Cambodia.
    I bet these dumber who criticize Sihanouk did not know how would they do to protect Cambodia when Yuon were already inside Cambodia since French controlled.
    Yeahh Bhumibok was elevated as god-king for 60 years but his time is near to die, his country is plunging into chaos. His only playboy/barbaric man will take Thailand to further fall into Communist hands.

    None of us or politicians could prevent the calamities while a nation is so small and has no army.

    A lot of bad mouth small brains like to brag about how they know what to do.

    We lost about 2million, is less than we may lose all 7 millions back then. These dogs like barking and still believe that the US and UK would protect Cambodia? Yeahhh... In facts they only protect their interests.
    If the US and UK shut up their dogs Ngo Dinh Diem and Bhumibol, Sihanouk may join with the US & UK, but they did not. Sure China is also bad, as well as Yuon, but who can we turn to?
    2 million lives or we'd rather lose 7 million lives?

    I still believe that if we were to follow genuine neutral policy as we declared at that time, none of catastrophic event would never happen to our country. Instead we sided with the Viets and Chinese to fight Americans. The war between the American and the Viets was the war between capitalism and communism which we, Cambodia, should not involved in the first place. Our involvement in the war effort by siding with communism cost us a great deal eventually. I will not blame Sihanouk a bit if genuine neutral policy was followed, and consequently, we were at this present situation.

    If it wasnt his fault, why does he not change the present? Why has he not apolgise for the deaths of 2 millions, even if it was indirect? Why does he give all powers and control to Hun Sen. According to the Cambodia constitution, Hun Sen has violated every principles and rights, therefore the under the Cambodia Constitution, the King has the rights to remove Hun Sen from his position.

    Go read the Khmer constitution, if you still support this useless king.

    I don't support anyone of your Cambodian politician(s), but my argument was based on facts. Sihanouk had no army he chose to be neutral. At first he wanted to join with the US, if the US and UK told their dogs Viets and Thais to stop being aggressive, but they didn't stop it. So Sihanouk chose to be "Neutral".
    Both sides US/UK and China/GNV wanted Sihanouk to choose one or else. Sihanouk cannot stay Neutral, even if he keeps his neutrality, still the US and China/GNV will use Cambodia as their pawn.
    I will drop this top secret Telegram between the US and UK " we don't care Sihanouk's vanity we only concern our allies Thailand and SVN." China reprimanded Sihanouk "Your love affair with the US posed danger to your neighbor (Hanoi).

    Now your turn, all big mouth go on pick your path. How can Cambodia avoid the calamity?

    Losing 2 millions or losing all? Where're the army? Calling French back? French were broke and already defeated.

    Your statement which you said is based on the fact is not the fact, it is a fiction. When the ex-king sided with the communism to fight with capitalism that make him a communist. You cannot deny the fact that he was a khmer rouge leader who caused 2M Khmer to perish. You are not ashamed to claim that if Sihanouk did not side with Communism at that time, not just 2M khmers were killed the whole 7M were killed. I don't know where you get this idea from but to me that's just your imagination as you tried to defend the ex-king at all cost. To me, the ex-king committed crimes and defending the king make you an accessory after the fact to the crime.
