Kuala Lumpur (VOCR): The Chin woman named Ngun Te from Falam, Chin State, who is refugee and is queuing in line to be registered with UNHCR was known cruelly abused by a Burmese man in Salayang where their working place is—not so far from Kuala Lumpur.

Back to story, she escaped to run away from Burma and arriving Malaysia in November, 2009. The Burmese agent, whom she contacted in Yangon--the former capital, sent her to Electronic factory in Butterwood, Penang State. Many, according to her, of her fellow Chins were taken by their relatives soon after arriving in Malaysia. But for her there's no more option but to follow whatever the agent said and led.

Over a month of her stay in dormitory provided for the workers by the company, it was appeared that she was repeatedly raped by the Burmese man, identified as Kyaw Sua Win while she was sick and couldn't go to work and was on medication.

It is learnt that she decided her mind with an agonizing to run after him wherever he goes as she was promised at the incident taken place. Having no siblings and relatives in Malaysia, she had no more choices except for nodding her head to him with the unceasable feeling of broken-heart.

In addition to that, she was appeared to be cheated very easy as she knew nothing about life in Malaysia at all. In the interview, she said that she was threatened that she would be arrested and sent to jail if she went out. In fear of Police arrest and Rela and Immigration raids, she always remained stayed at working place and dormitory where they resided. 

She explained to VOCR that she no choice had to follow her unofficial husband moving to Puchong, Selangor—very close to Kuala Lumpur and then to Selayang (within Selangor area) where she got inhumane abuse. Although she has been with seven month pregnant, she was kicked and hit three times with boots. Leaving her horrible pain and unconscious on the floor, his runaway seems unable to be traced down until today. With fears that she would die, she was helped by her co-workers informing the Chin refugee body for seeking further helps.

At worst scene, the rooted problem she believes is because of her disability to get registered with the office of UNHCR, which often times he urged her and was indirectly the main target of approaching this woman since the start—knowing that she is Chin according to the victim telling the story with tears during the interview.  

The incident indicating that all the Burmese native, domestic or abroad, are effectively practicing Burmanization against ethnicities--even in the foreign soil. Therefore, it is so evident that every Burmese native along with the junta regime are in the same position of ethnics cleansing policy, Burmanization propagandism and forcibly religion influencing—ultimately Buddhism.
