In a royal message, Cambodia’s King Norodom Sihamoni informed the supreme patriarchs of both Buddhist orders, senior and other monks, members of the royal family and all compatriots that detailed examinations by doctors at a hospital in Beijing, China, had confirmed that he had prostate cancer.
According to medical advice cited in the message, the King needed to remain in hospital for approximately one to two additional months of treatment and care and was not yet able to return to his homeland.
On the occasion of the traditional Khmer New Year, the King and Queen Mother conveyed their warm thoughts to the supreme patriarchs of both orders, all monks and their compatriots. They prayed that the blessings of the Triple Gem and sacred powers would bring everyone good health, happiness and success in all endeavours.
The King also expressed deep gratitude for the support and concern shown by all parties. By: សុខ ស៊ីណាន
