End of the world is coming to Cambodia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Camera, fridge and aircon...I would consider a rifle and ammunition as more helpful in such a scenario...
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

Veasna - thinks hes a cross between Noah from the kids stories and Evan Almighty
Sokha - xenophobic lunatic
Rainsy - french cheese eating self exiled donkey who was too corrupt for his own party last time he held a ministerial position

Cambodia News: A few days ago, a false story was told by Khem Veasna, that a great flood would come, and as a result, a large number of Cambodians rushed to Phnom Kulen, which is considered a place of safety. Veasna, president of the LDP, has rebranded himself as "Brahma Reaksa Lok".
Image
There are believed to be about 20,000 people gathered at Khem Veasna's plantation at the foot of Kulen Mountain, after the LDP leader instigated a baseless prophecy that terrible natural disasters are coming and that the only safe haven is on his land.

Unfortunately, this false information was believed by many naive and credulous Cambodian people, who packed up and made their way to Khem Veasna's plantation, where they have been listening to him saying that the end of the world is coming.

His Excellency General Hun Manit instructed Moha Brahma Reaksa Mr. Khem Veasna to stop mobilizing people from August 28, 2022 onwards, and to send them home.

Scary or comical, depends on your views. Either way, I guess it's a telling sign of the times. People are frightened for their futures. But why? Knowledge of climate change is now widely diffused. No one knows what to do. Nonsense prophets give a false sense of truthful certainty? You'd think people would be less gullible. Also, in politically repressed Cambodia it's a little surprising to see so many people losing their compunction and fear of authority...

The world will burn or flood or not without any help from fakes or anything we try do to do.

Another story below. It says he was preaching every afternoon and the black hole is growing in his spine... yeah he must be a real blabber...
