Cambodian Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen and Samdech Kittiprittbandit Bun Rany Hun Sen, together with Prime Minister Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet and Dr. Pich Chanmony Hun Manet, other dignitaries, their children and grandchildren, attended a Buddhist merit-dedication ceremony on November 10, 2026, marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Hun Kamsot, the eldest son of Hun Sen and Bun Rany.
The ceremony followed Buddhist tradition, with offerings to the monks. Supreme Patriarch Om Lim Heng and Third Deputy Supreme Patriarch Khim Sorn were among seven senior monks invited to chant prayers and perform memorial rites, dedicating merit to Hun Kamsot and praying for his rebirth in a blessed realm.
Although half a century has passed, the memory of their beloved son remains deeply meaningful to the family. The memorial ceremony fulfilled Buddhist traditions while expressing remembrance, love and enduring family bonds, however much time has passed. By: Sopheak
