PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Prime Minister Hun Sen has called on the public to maintain tolerance and refrain from discriminating against the followers of Khem Veasna, an outspoken political party leader who recently pronounced himself “universe protecting brahma” and mobilised them at his sprawling farm at Kulen Mountain to escape “doomsday”.

Hun Sen’s appeal came as Veasna’s followers, who hailed from the capital and various provinces, were about to start their return journey on the authorities’ order.
