A
birthday bash in Beijing is being planned for King Father Norodom
Sihanouk (pictured), who intends to remain in China for at least another month, his
personal secretary said yesterday.
Returning from a visit to
China, Prince Sisowath Thomico told the Post yesterday that the retired
king will not be coming back to Cambodia in time to celebrate his 91st
birthday on October 31.
“He is not ill; his health is fine. But
he is just tired,” said Thomico. “King Father will celebrate his
birthday in Beijing [instead]. There will be royal family meeting him
there. Traditionally, Chinese high-ranking officials have taken flowers
to offer to the King, as well.”
On the occasion of his 90th
birthday, Norodom Sihanouk last year returned to Cambodia and gave a
rare public address – his first since abdicating the throne in 2004,
praising the ruling CPP government.
A long-time hypertension and
diabetes sufferer who has battled cancer three times, he also used the
occasion to announce he would never leave Cambodia again, but he was
soon forced to return to China for medical treatment.
