I have visited the Mah Meri tribe at Carey Island many times over the past 10 years. After speaking to Bunbum and gaining his trust and confidence, he told me that the Government of Malaysia has sent Muslim Imans to Carey Island attempting to convert them. Like all Missionaries, they assume people are ignorant if they do not accept their personal beliefs. But the Malaysian Government takes it further by only offering financial support if they convert to Islam. Unfortunately some take the bait at the expense of their culture, conscience and personal belief. The Malaysian Governent has no respect for tribal people and has shown that on far too many occassions with the Mah Meri and in Sarawak with Ibam by illegal forestry practice,granting concessions to political cronies, again at the expense of displacing tribal peoples. All of this activity information is avaiable on the internet. Write to the Malaysian Government and PROTEST this outrage toward native people.
