" My wife and I decided to spend several thousand dollars to organise these ceremonies so our country and our people could be spared such a catastrophe, " Sihanouk, who abdicated last year, wrote on his website at www.norodomsihanouk.info. Cambodia was unscathed by the 10-metre (30-foot) tsunami waves generated by a magnitude-9.0 earthquake under the sea off Indonesia's Sumatra island on December26. The waves rolled through the Indian Ocean, devastating coastal communities and killing more than 1,26,000 people. Sihanouk offered his deepest condolences to the families of the dead and said he would give " a very humble and extremely modest " contribution of $15,000 (7,800 pounds) to international relief efforts for each of the stricken countries. >> More News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
