Give Our Children A Cyanide Free Home

This video is original copy from Ban Cyanide's Blog. >>> View in Wide Screen <<<

I am so impressed with this video which the opening is a child saying in Hakka (as I'm Hakka too). His voice is full of childish but the message he bring out is extremely serious. He said, ' Cyanide kill people, you should come to know it' and the next sentence is ' God, please provides me a way out'. If you can make a choice, will you live in a cyanide gold mine village? That is what the Bukit Koman residents trying to fight with.

I have no idea how old is the kid who say so. Does anyone teach him the speech or Does he understand the meaning of the content? I believe that he knows what he's trying to say because he did it on behalf to protect his homeland. Also, He really feel that he or his family and his home are at risk. Children are innocent. Sometimes, they speak more sincerely than an adult. In order to have a personal or commercial interests, adults can betrays the conscience but a child won't.

Besides, the background music plays an important role in creating the feelings of public concern. Everyone needs home! We do not need a gorgeous house like Khir Toyo's sprawling bungalow. It may be a squatter, a single storied house or a low-cost housing but it is the most comfortable place where we live together with our family. Whenever you are tired, you will think of going home. Therefore, it's how important our home is and how safely it is.

The impact of using cyanide in gold mining at Bukit Koman aroused the attention of more and more people. Even some moron try to higlight it as one of the political issues (among PKR against MCA). I am sorry to use such a bad word in my article but i just learn it from elsewhere. I think those who are irresponsible and does not care about people safety always give an excuse that ' Someone wants to politicize the matter'. Is ridiculous! Does political honor is more important than life? It counts on the thousands of human life, the plants, the animals and the nature in Bukit Koman. Who would be willing to risk his life by making such a joke?

Cyanide used in gold mine at Bukit Koman, Raub is no longer a concern of the local residents or a greenie (enviromentalist) but the matter of everyone of us. People care about health issues and worry that the gold mining negligence may cause disastrous consequences. Nobody can estimate the occurence of an accident. Moreover, residents complaint that their health conditions are weak during the construction of the mining factory. Visitors also can feel the poor air quality index once they step into the Kg. Bukit Koman. Should the authorities, the representative of people in Raub begin to solve the problem by door to door visit and listens respectfully to the residents who are all the way suffering either in psychologically or physically.

People may support gold mining because they hope the development of the village could raise more employment opportunity and the economic growth. However, supporting the gold mining activity is totaly different by supporting the use of cyanide in gold mine. Without a healthy body, gold are just muck.

Once again, Ban Cyanide ! You may not know where or when they are going to approved another gold mine factory for using cyanide near/in your homeland. It's look far away, but it is actually getting near to us. Give our next generation a pure natural environment and a simple life as you can make it.
