Sihanouk's death wish list

Sihanouk and his wife Queen Monineath.

Ex-King Norodom Sihanouk has drawn up a will, or a death wish list to be exact, in which he had instructed the government of what to do with his body after he had died.

In a recent written instruction, the ex-king had wished three things to be done to his dead body. The first instruction is to annul all previous wills in which he prohibited the cremation of his body. The second instruction is for his body to be cremated at the royal palace's Veal Men Crematorium in accordance with the Khmer Buddhist tradition, and the third instruction is for his ashes to be washed/cleansed and kept in a normal or gold urn.

The 89 year-old ex-king then further instructed that the urn should be placed/kept inside the Kantha Bopha Stupa, a stupa located in the royal palace's Emerald Pagoda which was named after his favourite daughter who had died in 1946 at the age of 3 years old.

The will also leaves instructions for the government to do the same with the body of his wife, Queen Mother Monineath, upon her death.

I'd just like to share my dream which I had more than 10 years ago with whoever are interested in it and also just to write it down here as a record to see if the events I saw in my dream ever become true.

-Norodom Sihanouk will pass away almost exactly the same date as Rev. Billy Graham an evangelist of USA.
-A war break out which involve the US and China,it's swift and brief and China emerge victoriously. It was unclear whether it's a direct conflict between the US and China or not but simply these two giants have both involve in this particular war.

Maybe the former King is not a perfect person like you are or too important for you. But for other people, he is still a model, because he is not a stupid as you believed.

4:06 AM,
Man…, we all knew about him (Ex-King) but we didn’t express as you did, sure, you have the rights to express for your own point of view, to us in Khmer words it seems very heavy and vulgar words, as a human being, please calm down and go to have a shit and piss prior to relaxing.

Its this kind of divide people that kill. Not the king that kill. To me the king is better then hun sen cus he dont claim that yuon save us from kr. Hun sen is the next pol pot in a settle way to kill khmer. Like kicking khmer from thier home land without compensations.

It seems Sihanouk is well prepared for his own death, but it remains to be seen if Hun Sen will fulfill his wish.
Some sections in the Cambodian society don't like Sihanouk, but he is considered by many, including foreign experts and analysts, as one of the great characters in the 20th century. Sure, he had made mistakes by supporting the Khmer Rouge, but his patriotism and his crusade for Cambodia's independence and his struggle to free Cambodia's from Vietnam's occupation in the 1980s and 1990s should be viewed as his positive contributions to our nation.

All the bloggers above forgot one important phrase from our grandpa and grandma that is "Kom merl gneay jass jass."

Sure he made some mistakes in trying to stay neutral. But the damn Vietcong and the American didn't respect his declaration.

The blame should be put squarely on the Vietcong and the Nixon Administration for spreading the war to Cambodia.
