A Report on Chin Refugees Missing




Kuala Lumpur, 19 Sept, 2010: There is a hot-issue facing the critical condition that three men of Chin refugee are reportedly missing and appearing that there is no traceable trend of search until now. On 19 September, Jemin Aung, Sang Zel Thang and Biak Sang (791-10C01941), who all are genuine recognised refugees with the office of UNHCR, are reportedly missing near Plaza Metro Kajang at which they had a date for meeting and so their friend are on the way to pick them up there, said Mr. Veng Kam who is one of an elder from the same village in Chin state, Myanmar.
Mr. Duh Hmung, who stopped working together with them so far just two days ago before they’re lost, is suggesting that they could be arrested by the police and directly send them to the Camp or another option is, they would be kept somewhere as ransom by the escorts of the last Indian boss to whom they work. Another anticipation they have is that a friend hurried to pick them up saw a lot of police patrolling around that area by the time he got there.
Asked if reason of why they ran away from work, it was so obvious that they finally came to realize that there’s nothing to get, even for buying phone card when complaining to the boss, who firmly grasped excuses of giving Rm-500 agent fees for each of them to the Burmese guys, regardless of their salary in an interview.
Plainly, Mr. Duh Hmung, who could ran away aired the boss about his skiving off from the job but three of his friends were still remained stayed there when getting out of that job, adding that we were just locked-up in the room and only called for work when the time was up to work but it was said that food was provided for meal time, though. At the end of hope, they, three of the rest secretly wanted to flee away from the working site and so they did send some sms text to their close friend went for pick-up.
A week later, they reportedly came to approach CRC to seek further help that has been beyond their exhausting search. In front of them, Health and Protection coordinator, Tin Mg Shwe made a call to Akka who took a lead to reach to Indian boss with regard to the missing persons whom he recruited. After all, there is no much glimpsing hope to look for them according to talks with the Burmese agent on the phone, citing the speculation is clouding as their whereabouts remain untraceable.
A concerted effort with a harmonious spirit is shared with them and trying best to find the lost hopefully as we are going on. At best, they are our members and people, said coordinator stated above.
