Freedom Film Fest 2009
Freedom Film Fest is a harvest of local and international documentary feature and short films dealing with the topic of human rights, social and environmental justice.
A film named 'Peace Cyanide Hill' which tell a story about cyanide mining in Bukit Koman, was one of the films screened in Freedom Film Fest 2009.
'Bukit Koman, situated in the heart of Raub in Pahang was once known to be the "gold capital" via the promising extraction of gold. In 2009, the gold mining company and its allies decided to extract the remaining gold, this time allegedly with the use of cyanide. Fearing for their lives and health, the villagers have lodged dissent against the alleged use of cyanide. Despite these concerns, the corporation, government and legal system have thus far ignored the pleas of the desperate villagers...'

《我愿意》
“嘟嘟”是一种很毒的东西，随风而行，
无声又无息出没在村里，转眼跑进我们身体，
我无法承受，特别是夜里，哦~它令我无法呼吸，
恨不得立即朝你狂奔去，可惜找不到你。。。（我别TAHAN）
我们求求你（x3），装置探测器，
只要你借出空气探测器，我们的村子有转机，
我们因为你(x3) ， 就快要断气，
只要你愿意借我们探测器，我真的很感激， 真的很感激有你！
《月亮圆》
现在的孩子不相信 家乡是安全的，
我们所呼吸 不再是新鲜和自由的空气，
当有一天啊 这悲剧真的上演，
亲爱的朋友们 你们可否告诉我，
我们的未来 何去何从？
月亮圆 月亮圆 月亮照在我的家，
只有健康安全的家 流传千年。。。
《但愿人长久》
我们很忧愁，真的想爆头，
为何明明很危险，他们说很安全？
我有一个心愿，把它赶出家园，
从此不再辗转难眠，人人展笑颜，大家来团圆。

不怕风不怕巨浪
勇敢地向前勇敢向前闯

它为了那艰苦的希望
努力闯克服万难
流尽了多少的折磨血汗
啊它虽然它虽然
受尽狂风受尽风霜
啊它奋斗它奋斗
受尽折磨受尽凄凉
不怕那道路长
不怕那千万难
就算是上刀山也要闯
汪洋中的一条船
船中装满血泪和血汗
不怕风不怕巨浪
勇敢地向前勇敢向前闯
汪洋中的一条船
它为了那艰苦的希望
努力闯克服万难
流尽了多少的折磨血汗
啊它克服它克服
饥寒交迫追求理想
啊它忍受它忍受
爬在地上受尽创伤
那怕是风霜苦
那怕是刀上刺
也要为它理想开创幸福

Lantern Festival Bukit Koman
About 200 villagers of Bukit Koman were celebrating Lantern Festival on 3-10-2009.
We began our lantern walk from Balai Raya Bukit Koman to gold mine area, then went through "huo che lu bei", carrying colourful lanterns with the lantern lights flickering in the darkness.
Both kids and adults had fun!
Creative villagers shown their lanterns which made of disposed styrofoam lunch box.
Villagers enjoyed the foods and moon cakes served.
Finally, we were forced to dismiss at 8:45pm.

Raub regaining lustre as gold mine under RM60m investment
By Gan Yen Kuan fd@bizedge.com
Raub, once a thriving gold mine in Pahang, is set to regain its lustre under London-listed Peninsular Gold Ltd’s RM60 million investment to build a hi-tech gold processing plant.
The Malaysian-controlled company, via its unit Raub Australian Gold Mining Sdn Bhd, has mining rights on a 202ha of land in Raub, with proven tailings reserves of 180,000 ounces.
Peninsular Gold chairman and chief executive Datuk Seri Andrew Kam said on March 2 the company’s target was to extract 100,000 ounces of gold a year. There are also plans for further RM150-million investment.
He was speaking to reporters at the groundbreaking ceremony for the plant. The RM60-million plant will be financed from borrowings and equity and it can process 1.1 million tonnes of tailings to produce 25,000 ounces of gold a year.
The plant, scheduled to be completed in 12 months, will use the carbon-in-leach (CIL) technology to extract gold from tailings – residues left behind by earlier miners who used traditional gravity methods of gold extraction.
Kam said the CIL technology, which had been used worldwide over 30 years, enable miners to recover up to 85% of gold from the tailings compared with 15% under the traditional gravity method.
According to World Gold Council, the world produced 2,467 tonnes of gold in 2006, while total demand stood at 3,362 tonnes. Gold prices are now hovering around US$660 (RM2315) per ounce.
Peninsular Gold posted a net loss of 1.44 million sterling pounds (RM9.88 million) for the 14-month financial period ended June 30, 2006. Kam said he hoped the company would start making profits in two-and-a-half years once the plant starts operations.
He said Peninsular Gold had been working with the Pahang State Development Corporation over the past 10 years to unearth for more gold mines in the state, including the Bentong-Raub area.
“We are very confident there is a lot of gold. We just need to continue our exploration. Proven reserves are 180,000 ounces, which we are going to mine immediately,” he said.
Meanwhile, Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob said the investments by Peninsular Gold would create a spin-off effect for the district’s economy.
Raub produced over one million ounces of gold in the past 100 years. Royalties collected by the state government from gold mining companies totalled RM6.15 million in 2005 and RM11.62 million in 2006. There are 44 mining certificate holders in the state, 31 of which are for gold mining.
