WANG KELIAN RCI | Investigations found that one Rohingya person paid RM5,800 for his uncle's release, and a Myanmar national paid RM4,000 for his nephew's freedom.

The Royal Commission of Inquiry into the discovery of temporary transit camps and mass graves in Wang Kelian, Perlis, was told today that foreigners deposited money into the bank accounts of Malaysian citizens as a condition to release their family members from the Wang Kelian camp as well as camps in Thailand.

He said investigations found that a Myanmar national deposited RM4,000 into Ku Hamid’s account on Oct 2, 2014, to release his nephew from the Wang Kelian camp while another Rohingya person deposited RM5,800 into Arifin’s account to secure the release of his uncle who was held in a detention camp in Thailand.

He said Ku Hamid told him he had given his ATM card to a Thai national named Kaw to be used, but efforts by the police to track down Kaw were futile.
