Tinatapon ang mga Pinoy sa dagat

DURIAN SHAKE - Edith R. Regalado - Pilipino Star Ngayon

PANGKARANIWAN nang nakikita na itinatapon ang mga kababayan nating Pinoy sa dagat sa Kampung Ayir at sa Bajau Laut,  Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Ang masakit ay naging bingi-bingihan  at bulag-bulagan ang ating mga opisyales sa embahada ng Pilipinas sa Malaysia sa kinasasapitan ng ating mga kababayan sa naturang bansa.

Sinabi ng Malaysian officials na kinakailangan nilang magsagawa ng raid sa may 500 na Pinoy sa Semporna district sa Bajau Laut na ilegal na nakapasok sa Sabah.

Sinabi ng Malaysian officials kailangan nilang protektahan ang kanilang teritoryo laban sa International crime.

Narito ang balita sa ginawang pagtatapon sa mga Pinoys sa dagat ng Malaysian authorities.

KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysian authorities defended their decision to evict hundreds of sea nomads from their homes off the coast of Sabah state this week, saying it was aimed at boosting security and combating cross-border crime.

More than 500 people from the Bajau Laut, a mostly stateless sea-faring community who live on rickety houseboats or coastal huts built on stilts, saw their homes demolished or burned by enforcement officials this week, local activists have said.

The operation in Sabah’s Semporna district was criticized by rights groups, which called on the government to halt the evictions and ensure the safety and protection of the Bajau Laut.

Sabah’s minister of tourism, culture and environment Christina Liew said authorities were empowered to act against illegal activities, such as fishing, building structures and farming without permission, in protected areas controlled by Sabah Parks, a state conservation agency.

Ngayon, panonoorin na lang ba natin ang nangyayari sa ating mga kababayang Pinoy sa Sabah?
