Starting from scientists, religious leaders, and many more who try to guess when doomsday will fall. Meanwhile, some theories of the cause of the apocalypse are expressed, such as phenomena coming from outer space dominating the cause of the end of life on Earth, such as asteroids, blood moons, and others.

League for Democracy Party President, Khem Veasna, predicted that doomsday would come soon. He said flooding would begin on August 31. About 20,000 Cambodians believed him and began to flee.
They fled to Veasna's remote farm to witness the end of the world. Some of Khem's followers come from the Cambodian diaspora working abroad in South Korea, Japan, and Thailand.
Cambodian security forces ordered the placement of 20,000 citizens in isolation or lockdown. The reality is that until now the prophecy has not been proven to happen.

The following year, Chen predicted, millions of demon spirits, along with a great flood, would result in the mass extinction of the human population. Followers could help by buying their way aboard a spaceship, as a cloud, sent to save them.
