PART 1 OF 3

Bukit Koman, situated in the heart of Raub in Pahang was once known to be the gold capital via the promising extraction of gold. In 2009, the gold mining company and its allies decided to extract the remaining gold, this time allegedly with the use of cyanide. Fearing for their lives and health, the villagers have lodged dissent against the alleged use of cyanide. Despite these concerns, the corporation, government and legal system have thus far ignored the pleas of the desperate villagers.

Bukit Koman yang terletak di tengah-tengah Bandar Raub dulu amat dikenali sebagai 'ibu Bandar emas' dengan perlombongan emas yang begitu pesat sekali. Pada tahun 2009, syarikat perlombongan emas dan sekutunya telah melombongkan sisa tinggalan emas itu dengan menggunakan kimia cyanide.

Oleh kerana ketakutan akan kesihatan dan kehidupan mereka, para penduduk telah membuat laporan terhadap penggunaan cyanide. Sungguhpun begitu, pihak korporat, kerajaan dan sistem keadilan terus mengendahkan rayuan para penduduk.

Very sad. Profit over people.
