After a mourning ceremony lasting several days, the mortal remains of Norodom Sihanouk were cremated on Monday. One day later, ashes of late Cambodian king scattered in the Tonle Sap. While many Cambodians still commemorate their beloved father of the nation, others already have a look at the future of the monarchy. Among several analyses, the Southeast Asia Globe published “Like father, unlike son. While Cambodia waits for King Sihamoni to emerge from the shadow of his father, the Kingdom’s monarchy is withering” by Dr Markus Karbaum on February 5^th.
