Mass graves at Bukit Wang Burma, Wang Kelian, Perlis ... It's ironic!!!

This is my first post in 2015 .. My last posting was in October 2014. I was in the wilderness, feeling lazy to write on anything. After awhile, I feel like posting this short post on the recent finding of mass graves of Rohingya immigrants at the top of the hill named Bukit Wang Burma, Wang Kelian in Perlis.

It's a dramatic finding I would say after a certain Deputy Minister denied that such graves are to be found on Malaysian soil. Less than two weeks after such denial, the authorities announced the finding of mass graves on the hilltop of Bukit Wang Burma. The media went on frenzy with interviews of the nearby kampung folks claiming to see activities near the border and at the vicinity of Bukit Wang Burma. It is more dramatic when the authorities said their men could not be patrolling the hilltop/slope of Bukit Wang Burma ... Perhaps they should start sending their men for training in scaling slopes/hilltops....

The drama turned into a 'slapstic comedy" if I might say when a certain Minister in the Prime Minister's Department said the "death camps" should be preserved for tourist attraction!!! What a "brilliant" idea from a Minister who hailed from the same state. The next day he denied making such a statement and claimed that what he meant was the death camps should be preserved as a lesson to the public...

It was reported that more than 99 bodies were exhumed before the operation on the hilltop was stopped. The authorities then made an announcement that they died of natural cause and there was no foul play... I take it as ' those immigrants died due to self inflicted then they buried themselves in the mass graves"!!! what a joke and a slap in the face of humanity. what make me baffled when last week I read in the news that the Government will not let the mastermind in the mass graves issue escaped the law of the land ... which is which now ...

I am left numb but come to think of it it's ironic that the mass graves were found on the hilltop of Bukit Wang Burma in the district of Wang Kelian which if loosely translated -  "Bukit Wang Burma" might mean " Hill of Burmese Money" .... Greed had overshadowed the sense of humanity ....

Till we meet again .... Selamat Berpuasa ....
