| Schedule of Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia (Posted on www.NorodomSihanouk.info) |
The Cambodia Daily
For almost a decade, King Father Norodom Sihanouk took to the Internet
with aplomb, using his official website as a way to update the public on
both his political and private life.
The former King scanned and posted his own handwritten letters on the
site—often airing his gripes and grievances—as well as letters he
received from an abundance of admirers from around the world. He also
used his online presence as a way to frequently update the public about
his cancer treatment.
Through it all, Norodom Sihanouk took on a diverse range of subjects on
his website, ranging from his beloved dogs to his love of music, his
impatience with French speakers who mispronounce their vowels in
English, problems with his French bank, and his penchant for an
afternoon nap.
However, postings this year have been less frequent, even as letters
from heads of state and other supporters continued to come in.
In the latest posting, Norodom Sihanouk added a typed agenda poignantly
entitled “How Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia Employs his Time,” the
content of which reads like a diary of his many doctor’s appointments
and medical examinations that took place last month.
“Monday 3rd September 2012, Royal Residence, Beijing, People’s Republic
of China: Medical examination by a doctor of the People’s Republic of
China. One injection by the chief nurse,” one entry reads.
In the same post, he describes the long succession of medical
examinations, injections, visits from practitioners of traditional
Chinese medicine, and the taking of blood samples, giving an indication
of just how much of the King Father’s last year was taken up by his
ailing health.
Despite his health concerns, Norodom Sihanouk evidently still kept up
with some of his interests, including reading. Earlier this month, he
posted scans of several annotated pages of his book “Le Calice Jusqu’a
la Lie” or “The Cup to the Dregs” on his website. In the margins of the
heavily underlined pages, the former King added comments like
“fascists,” “true!” and “patriots.”
The King Father also continued to schedule appointments at his residence
in Beijing. His last meeting took place on September 22, when the
former king and Queen Mother Monineath met with two Buddhist monks from a
pagoda in China’s Guangzhou province.

To All Khmer Yeurng (all of Khmer citizens):
Please don't talk nonsense. You don't know what you are talking about. Stop being manipulated by other Anonymous mentioned. You need to be quiet and let's focus on Unity. We want CNRP and CPP to reunite as one without fight each others in order to change the leaders. We wish all Khmer/Cambodian citizens or members of major parties CNRP and CPP to merge after the merger of SRP and HRP including other small parties like Khmer Democratic, KPPM, etc.
So, stop fighting each others. We need to work together to save our Khmer nation.
It is timing. Khmer folks both at home and abroad (USA, Australia, NZ, France, Canada, S. Korea, Japan, and so on), please stop fighting each others and please take the positive outlooks and stop hating other because of the Vietnamese/Yuon manipulation and don't let our neighbors Yuon/Viet and Siam/Thai to see our weakness.
So, watch out on each others no matter what happen. Please think and be careful.
Thanks for listening.
Khmer Yeurng.
