The brutal war ended. The darkness of exodus began across a raging sea. The refugee crisis had taken its own dimension and wrought a devastating human toll. Against all odds, we arrived at Pulau Bidong Refugee Camp at the end of 1979, PB 006. We left genocides and atrocities behind. I had already met my maker and smiled at death in the face. Boat People. Free at last. Freedom has a painful price in torment. We are eternally grateful to all volunteers, United Nations UNHCR, former President Jimmy Carter and America, Canada, Australia, South Korea, France and and many Western countries.
Bidong is an Island of Hope and Miracle. These flowers are for the unfortunates and lost souls in our collective memory. RIP. – via
