PHNOM PENH, Sept 6 (Phnom Penh Post): As of September 5, Siem Reap provincial authorities had received more than 100 inquiries from people asking for help finding their relatives who travelled to the sprawling plantation of Khem Veasna – president of the League for Democracy Party (LDP) who now doubles as cult leader and doomsday prophet – in Siem Reap province’s Banteay Srei district.

Several hundred of Veasna's supporters continue to linger there despite an ultimatum to clear out, according to provincial governor Tea Seiha. According to a contract between the authorities and LDP, the throng of followers who gathered fearing an apocalypse predicted by Veasna must disband by September 5 at 17:30pm.
