Asean should stop human trafficking – Simon Tay, Aaron Choo and Shangari Kiruppalini

One test for this dream of Community is whether the lives of ordinary citizens will improve and one hard issue will be the ongoing tragedy of trafficking in people.

Last year, mass graves were discovered along the border of Thailand and Malaysia, containing the remains of more than 200 people.

The cases are still under investigation, but most fear the victims were from the Rakhine State in Myanmar – called the Rohingya by some – and had been kidnapped or illegally trafficked before being abandoned and killed. (Courtesy of The Malaysian Insider)
