Mass graves: No plans to continue exhumation in Wang Kelian
Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar believed that the police had completed their exhumation work on or before June 8.
The government does not plan to continue with operations to exhume the remains of victims of human trafficking syndicates in Wang Kelian.
The operations ended on June 8.
Home Deputy Minister, Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar believed that the police had completed their exhumation work on or before June 8.
"Why should we continue? A total of 139 graves were discovered from the 40km stretch of the Malaysian-Thai border, and now we are unable to find anything else.
"So far, there is no other grave site except those graves at Bukit Wang Burma," he said when met at the Parliament lobby, Thursday.
Wan Junaidi said to date, pathology tests were being conducted on the remains found at the sites involved.
"There is no doubt the process is relatively slow and if the results are not satisfactory, the samples will then be sent abroad seeking assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation," he said.
The Malaysian Government is currently working closely with the Thai Government to investigate and track down an individual named 'Yassin' who is suspected to be an agent of the human trafficking syndicate in the Wang Kelian forest.
As of June 8, the police confirmed that 106 skeletal remains had been exhumed.
