Hok Lundy complained that he was not happy during the Independence Day celebration

In the morning of 09 November, Hok Lundy was among the VIPs who were present at the commemoration of the 55th National Independence at the Monument of Independence. He was all smile when King Sihamoni went to shake hands with government leaders who were lining up for the occasion. A high-ranking government official said that after the lighting of the victory candle at the Monument of Independence, Hok Lundy went on to watch the parade in front of the Royal Palace as well. The same official indicated that at the end of the parade, Hok Lundy complained that he was not too happy in his mind on that day, he wanted to go relax somewhere far from the crowd. Next, Hok Lundy said that in the evening of 09 November, he will travel to his villa in Bavet to relax himself up. After Hok Lundy’s accident took place, the official above then remembered what Hok Lundy told him before he died.
