The village of Bukit Koman in the state of Pahang, Malaysia sits on a goldmine. Literally. For a hundred years gold has been mined here. But since 2009 the Raub-Australian Mining Sdn. Bhd. that operates the gold mine there using cyanide in the mining process. The villagers have begun to experience symptoms of nausea, itchy skin and breathing difficulties. The gold mine is separated from the village and its inhabitants by just a narrow road. This is a story about Raub Bukit Koman, a place which cursed by gold. A group of ban cyanide volunteers produced this video without any well equipments & shooting experience.
Sogo那一帶﹐最少有整萬人靜坐在街道上﹔3大民族排排坐﹐喊口號﹐唱唱歌。
旁邊的
Pakcik跟我說他覺得很欣慰﹐參與Bersih
3.0的華裔人數是Bersih2.0的至少好幾倍﹐當中有許多還是老年人﹐在籍學生﹐在家相夫教子的婦女﹐甚至還有許多參與者是帶著一家人支持出席的。
網上看到的照片就證明了一切﹐尤其以KLCC Stop Lynas Save Malaysia和Jalan
Sultan區出發的華裔人數更為驚人。(當然﹐我還是想說愛國是不分種族或宗教的。所以我才寫了I saw no Malays, I saw no
Chinese, I saw no Indians, I saw anak-anak Malaysia這幾行字)
接下來的事情﹐不像多說﹐因為我想大家都可以在網絡社教網站和網絡媒體看到428所發生的一切吧?無可否認﹐網絡上的東西是不能完全盡信﹐但是比起中國報﹐星洲日報﹐Utusan﹐ Berita Harian, The Star 等這些報章和Astro,TV3, ntv7﹐八度空間等電視臺所報導﹐網絡媒體至少道出了事情的真實性﹐而不是一直抹黑Bersih3.0﹐把Bersih3.0參與者說成暴民對警方施暴和合理化警方的暴力。Astro 這一次更刪除了BBC和AlJaZeera的部份新聞報導﹐還說這是他們的自由﹐人民不應該阻礙向新聞自由?我想﹐刪除故事真實性不是更下流﹐更加阻礙新聞自由嗎?
