Koh Santepheap : King : I Never Listen to Anybody.
King Norodom Sihanouk denied allegations that he was forced by his wife Queen Norodom Monineath Sihanouk to write recent letters which supported the CPP and Samdech Hun Sen to be prime minister in the government. In a recent letter, the King wrote that Samdech Hun Sen should be the Prime Minister of the new government while CPP President and Senate President Chea Sim should remain in his position and current First Deputy President of the National Assembly Heng Samrin should be installed as the Assembly President. He did not mention the position of Funcinpec President Prince Norodom Ranariddh.
This writing sparked criticism from opposition politicians who alleged that the King sided with the ruling Cambodia People’s Party (CPP) and current Prime Minister Hun Sen. And what he wrote was on the idea of his wife Queen Norodom Monineath Sihanouk. “In my life, I have never let anyone — a Cambodian or a foreigner — force me to write what is not my idea,” the King wrote in his letter dated on August 21. “I have sacrificed myself to serve the nation and country for independence, credit and territorial integrity,” the King wrote. “I love the independence and credit of the nation and fatherland as much as I love my own independence and credit. I have never listened to a woman, a man, a person, a foreigner or a power country,” the King continued in the letter.

N.P. : Except flattery? Who asked you, Sire, to hide VC-NVN troops on Cambodian soil?
