The crazy king!!!!he has no brain for Khmer country.
If his majesty qualification is almost "perfect" I sure would like to see more justice come forth from the king and not from the ruling party. A good king would bring the wheel over the wicked. It means to rid of corruption in the system and of the land. A king should not tolerate evil in his presence but rather quick to scatter them out from his sight. If he knows what is acceptable and what is not acceptable for the good of all. If that is evidence I say 'long live the king'.
King Sihamoni is a modern day king who follow the constitution correctly. Unlike his father, he stayed away from politics which makes him less controversial and more acceptable to political leaders. He got some of the attributes as described by Chea Sim, however he falls short of a perfect king. In regard to him being unable to rid corruption, I don't think it is his fault. He is a constitutional king who reign but shall not rule. Corruption and justice and so on is the responsibility of the executive branch which is the government. Only Hun Sen and his government is to blame for corruption and injustices, not the king because he has no power.
