UN chief praises Sihanouk as 'unifying national leader'

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon 

PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed "deep condolences" to the royal family, government and people of Cambodia following the death of King Father Norodom Sihanouk in Beijing Monday.

"The Secretary-General acknowledges King Sihanouk's long dedication to his country and his legacy as a unifying national leader who is revered by Cambodians and respected internationally," a spokesman said.

"The Secretary-General also hopes that the legacy of the former king will allow Cambodia to advance the national healing process, including through continued commitment to justice."


In a separate statement, the United Nations Country Team in Cambodia expressed "profound sorrow" at the news.

"For many decades, the King Father has been a key figure in Cambodia’s engagement with the international community, and a true advocate for the country’s development," a statement said.

"Our hearts are with Preah Karuna Preah Bat Sâmdach Preah Bâromneath Norodom Sihamoni of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the royal family and royal Government, and with all Cambodian people at this sad moment."

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.
