Cambodia's ex-king dies in Beijing: Xinhua

BEIJING — Cambodia's former king Norodom Sihanouk, a revered figure in his home country who had suffered from a number of ailments in recent years, died in Beijing on Monday, Chinese state media said. He was 89.

"Norodom Sihanouk has died in Beijing," Chinese state news agency Xinhua said, citing an unnamed official without giving further details.

The ex-monarch had been a frequent visitor to China, where he received the bulk of his medical treatment.


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

His had suffered from a series of health problems recently, including cancer, diabetes and hypertension.

Despite abdicating, the ex-monarch sometimes used his website to communicate with the outside world.

In a message in January, he said he wanted to be cremated upon his death and have his ashes kept in an urn inside the Royal Palace, reversing an earlier wish to be buried.

^^^Yeah, he'll be in heaven and then only to be rejected by the 1.7 millions that he killed.
So, hell is awaiting him and you.....Khmer Rouge.

Hey Asshole 5:51 AM,

Would you respect the King? You are NOT khmer, if so, you shouldn't say like this, your parent or families have died NOT because of the King, it was because of some Khmer and because of your families have committed bad thing from their past lives. You! Asshole...the hell is waiting for you, the hell has reserved place for you. The King is the King...the King has nothing to do with you.

No sympathy for this old man. He helps Vietnam to conquer Cambodia land and defeat American from Vietnam war. He did nothing to get rid of Hun Sen and he did nothing to help Cambodian people.

The only thing that he did in his life is to make love to many girls and entertain himself.

One is gone and another three to go.

He will join Pol Pot in the grave.

Khmer people are very happy to see this guy gone.

Let's have a party to witness the death of the old man, Sihanouk. We're joyful for this old man gone for good. We, Khmer, will reborn again without this useless and brainless stupid king.

The only stupid people felt sorrow for him. What did he do for our Khmer people?

Go to hell. We wish you death for a long time.

6:12 AM,

I get your point, however, you should respect the King, the King has nothing to do with you. You are NOT CPP member, don't you lie to me. You live abroad and pretending you are in Srok Khmer. The ceremony for our King will be coming up soon, and if you don't like to join, get your ass out of Cambodia or don't you ever come to Cambodia. I respect the King no matter what he have done right or wrong.

Finally, what a relief !!!!!!!! let party handout! God has allowed him to live up to these present days, so that, he could see what he had done to our nation and then finally pull him down to hell forever. Next will be, a Chea sim, a Hang surin, a Hun sen, his family tree and clan....down to hell and by then Khmers will be at peace. Then comes the 'NEW WORLD ORDER', from here, everyone will be at peace from all over the world, because it will only be controlled by a 'ONE GOV'T', and by then, the three million souls will say 'we are free'!!!!.....

To a former KR soldier, I understand because without his downfall you wouldn't be where you are right now, but soon it will be your turn too, Bloodsucker! you are not a nationalist but a traitor, so get out of our country now!!! because our country belongs to those who are good, right and just, no blood on their hands and no robbing, stealing, jailing innocents or killing the poor.

For the sake of power and his own throne to the bestial nonsense of his stupid politics, this king always showed no remorse for his war crime over the 3 million death of Khmer people during Pol Pot era. Go to hell, and this final hell won’t resuscitate you.

To All,

Norodom Sihanouk could have been a good leader for Cambodia.
After gaining the national Independence from France, he should rebuild the country economically and militarily.
Because of the lack of democracy and the absolute use of power, that is why
the Khmer Rouge movement was created.
Instead of curing the root cause of its creation, Sihanouk decided to crush it instead.
If he was to recognise and correct those problems, Khmer Rouge couldn't end up as they did. Hun Sen and Hanoi's machine did not exist.
Therefore, the late and former playboy King Norodom Sihanouk does NOT deserve condolences from us Khmers.

Burn his body over there (china). Don't bring back to Cambodia. He was a Traitor to khmer people. The khmer people have suffered enough by him. He did not respect even his own mother. He was an evil king . He should be alive until he can serve his punishement in the Khmer Rouge trail.
