The League for Democracy Party’s founder, Khem Veasna, claims that a “black hole” has developed in his spine and is giving him signals about an approaching flood that would destroy everything except his farms near Siem Reap.
In one Facebook post, he wrote: “I can’t sleep because every time I fall asleep, my spinal cord pulls so hard, the universe is crumbling, and the water is streaming into the breach.”
The so-called soothsayer also published other pictures of what seem to be apparitions in the sky, which he said predicted the end of the world.
The leader has urged Cambodian migrant workers in South Korea to quit their employment and go home. He refers to himself as a Brahma, a religious term that meaning divine ruler.

The founder of the League for Democracy Party, Khem Veasna (pictured), thinks a “black hole” has developed in his spine and is communicating with him about an approaching deluge.
The Cambodian embassy in Seoul issued a warning to people not to go there and that if they do so without alerting their employers, they would not be rehired. This was in response to the plea to the 30,000 expatriates living in South Korea.
A labor ministry spokeswoman further warned individuals not to leave their employment due to “one person’s superstition.”
Authorities believe that up to 20,000 people, including children and the elderly, have gone to his farm home. He just began spreading his forecast on Facebook last week, where he has a massive following of more than 370,000 people.
They are being entertained by Veasna’s daily lectures, which are broadcast over loudspeakers from 1 to 7 pm, but perplexed neighbors have complained about his followers’ filth and public urination.
The supposed soothsayer also posted a number of images of apparent apparitions in the sky which he said foretold of the end of days
The leader has urged Cambodian migrant workers in South Korea to quit their employment and go home. He refers to himself as a Brahma, a religious term that means “heavenly ruler.”
The lawmaker has long been critical of both the governing Cambodian People’s Party and the country’s major opposition, and his party received 310,000 votes in the 2018 polls, which many people believed were manipulated in the ruling party’s favor.
According to Astrid Norén-Nilsson, a senior professor at the Lund University Center for East and South-East Asian Studies:
“Cambodia is still very much defined by the fact that this is a one-party mandate era, even if the opposition has been permitted to resuscitate to some level.”
Khem Veasna renounced politics and led his supporters on a mission to form a millenarian social movement.
It obviously resonates to people in these uncertain and downright gloomy times throughout the world.
The lawmaker has long criticized both the government and the major opposition in Cambodia.
Authorities in the area have been pleading with the followers to leave his place, but they have refused.
The supporters were given until today to depart or face “necessary legal action,” but it’s unclear what that entails.
According to reports, Veasna promised to assist the police, but so far, he has disregarded their requests.
To prevent additional individuals from accessing the farm home, barricades have been put up at the entrance.
However, a lot of people are now setting up tents nearby or reserving hotel rooms in the hopes that they may still flee the flooding in the safe haven.
