today, everyone here was jolted with the news that one of the burmese guy, who is a volunteer with MSF, passed away in his sleep. it was a real shocker to everyone here. he was only 28. i;ve not met the guy so im pretty ok bout it. but from what i heard, the whole community is had taken it pretty badly.
worst of all was his parents back in burma. couldnt stop crying when they heard the news. i guess you can imagine the pain of not being able to see your son anymore. and whats more, they cant bury him back in burma cause he is a refugee and there is no way the guy's parent can afford to come to malaysia. cant even bury your own son.
his reason of death is unknown and can only be confirm by an autopsy. most likely due to a ruptred aneurysm or some blood clotting disoder. he was apparently healthy before this.
they managed to collect RM5000 from within their own Kachin community to pay for the funeral expenses. this is another testament to the solidarity of the burmese refugees in this country.
