Until today, neither hide nor hair of a estimated RM207 billion Japanese compensation, for using over 30,000 Malayans as forced work for a barbarous Death Railway from Siam to Burma during World War II, has been seen by surviving victims or their heirs, claimed former Perak menteri besar Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin.
"We don't know if a money is still in a keeping of a supervision or has been disbursed to a victims.
"There were 30,000 that survived to come back to Malaysia, though a little had died, they have heirs who formed a Association of former labourers as well as heirs of a Siam-Burma 1942-1946 railway construction," Nizar was quoted in aHarakahdailyreport.
According to records, Nizar (right) minute that out of a a little 30,000 survivors, 60 percent have been Malays, twenty percent Indians, 15 percent Chinese as well as five percent from alternative races.If his calculation holds true, heestimated that any family stands to embrace during least RM 3 million each.
Since their official registration upon Jan 11, 2011, a association concerned had practical multiform times to redeem a monies from a Malaysian government, that had accepted a remuneration from a Japanese government, but to no avail.
No reason from gov't
Nizar said that until today, they do not know if a remuneration is in a national book of Amanah Raya, as no reason has been since by a supervision despite steady applications by a NGO representing a Death R! ailway v ictims as well as their heirs.
This, he said is despite a Japanese embassy already confirming that a monies had been eliminated to a Malaysian supervision long ago.
He claimed he has met with Japanese embassy officials as well as has sighted official documents that minute a transfer.
