Queen Mother Norodom Monineath has donated $500 to the family of slain political analyst Kem Ley for the Pchum Ben holiday, a member of the royal family confirmed yesterday.

 

Prince Sisowath Thomico said the Queen Mother was concerned for the welfare of Ley’s widow, Bou Rachana, who is eight months pregnant, and her four sons. The family fled Cambodia last month in fear of their safety, and plan to apply for asylum in the United States.

 

Thomico stressed that the contribution, which he said he had organised to have delivered to the family, was “humanitarian” and not political.

Wow 500 dollars. That's a lot of money for a pregnant woman with 4 children, no husband, no job , living in exile to manage.
