Anthony5 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It could appeal to the same people who come to Thailand in the martial law tourism segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBattles Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They could open up a few floozie beer bars for the night time entertainment. It would be easy to import them from Hat Yai. Tourist need sex and entertainment at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You could charge the tourists a $1000 for a month's stay with no food or water, just to get a real flavor of what it would be like to have been brought there. Why not put a ransom on their head as well and while their at it give a prize to anybody who doesn't die during their time there. You don't have to be in a mental hospital to be "sick" in the head.

sunshine51 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If the Mals would let me run the place I'd turn it into a two week SERE school and Datuk Shahidan Kassim can be one of the first batch of "students".Then again...Ralph Lauren's people may be on to him before that happens for wearing the fake Polo shirt. Regardless...seems that every nation involved has their players trying to make a buck from the suffering of others & with Malaysia ranked a Tier 3 human trafficking nation... Datuk Kassim's comment doesn't surprise me one iota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I remember Thailand was criticized by an NGO for running a Human Zoo because of it's treatment of hilltribes. Perhaps Malaysia misinterpreted this as a compliment and after a brainstorming session came up with the tourist camp idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshissan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm at a loss for words.... have to say I agree, it seems it's not only Thailand that has it's share of idiots in high level positions, not easy to outstrip some Thailand ministers for out and out stupidity all we need now is an endorsement from an ex Thai mp - I don't think the current government is capable of such an idea Are you sure about your last sentence? I am sure that the present government are kicking their own arises for not thinking about it first!

arrowsdawdle Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Monument to dead! This is an answer to Thai official comments to the U.S. and the world in general that the camps were Malaysian.

gemguy Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I like my Idea better. Turn them into centers for employment and put the people to work.....as that is what they came for....besides fleeing ruthless government persecution in Burma.

BestBitterPhuket Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Could this be Malaysia's Chalerm? The majority of the Malaysian cabinet suffers from chronic foot in the mouth disease. Just when some of them were starting to handle this case in an appropriate manner, then comes one of these morons crawling out from under a stone.

PETERTHEEATER Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Fifty five odd years ago we had chased Chin Peng and his Communist Terrorists up the Malay Peninsula to the Thai border at Betong where they hid out in jungle camps fleeing across the invisible border into Thailand if our security forces got too close. Chin Peng died last year of old age in southern Thailand yet he was a Malay so yes, they are quite capable of building similar camps for trafficking. He forgot to mention the Malay writing on the walls and the Tiger Beer cans..... It takes two to tango..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookee68 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That is one of the last places I would want to visit, besides the mosque would do my head in with the constant rabble, but hay, what ever floats your boat, they could even organise a dig site in case people got bored. and there are more than just Thai writings on the wall, who knows, maybe they might find some headless corpses, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Around 1980, following the success of Roots, someone had the bright idea to (try to) sell tourist packages to African-Americans that included the slave markets of Ghana, and other such west African fun destinations. Haven't heard much about that since. On the other hand Auschwitz, the Anne Frank House etc seem to do a fairly brisk business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwikeith Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 In my opinion, I don't think the camps were built by Malaysians unless they were communists. - because they are too well constructed No! because there were Thai beer cans there Are they going to display the graves of the mass murdered found on the border recently? This man must have had a brilliant idea fly into his funnel. Was there any Chinese beer cans or a Toohies or 2 maybe a Vic Bitter, man this could prove to be an international conspiracy if they find other brands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linzz Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Why are people here complaining? Gross? Inhuman? The camps were inhuman when they had humans in them, now they're empty. People flock in their thousands to visit Belsen, Birkenau and Auschwitz etc and they were far more inhumane in their day yet people not only accept this but applaud it too The Malaysian minister described the camps as "beautiful" several times. I would not describe Belsen, Birkenau and Auschwitz as beautiful. What is the intention? To have a sombre memorial to remind visitors of inhumanity that should not be forgotten, or to make some money out of tourists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Stranger Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 No Mr. Minister, we know that tourists would love to take the kids and tour the well manicured grounds and witness human suffering. I guess Cambodias' Killing Fields, would be your blueprint... Un-f**king believable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobwolf Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 This idiot of a Minister in the Prime Ministers office needs to be fired immediately and should be locked up in a camp like this for 6 months. He has total disregard for human lives and dignity. This is typical thinking of greedy Asian Brain's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khounteen Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Looks like Malaysia has the dumber ministers. The site of the camp they found is so inaccessible that they had to remove bodies by helicopters, and this airhead wants to turn it into a tourist spot?? If you go through malaysia news you will die laughing at the things the so called ministers say there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
