THE KILLING FIELDS........CAMBODIA TRAVELOGUE...cont'd

after the makan, michael and thomas drove off in their mpv to work. michael back to his garment factory...and thomas back to the bungalow which is also his office.

now leaving us, rainbow and sons and me. ah chew suggested bringing us to the KILLING FIELDS. a place where many cambodian elites and suppose resistants were brutally massacred....

ok, lor! if not then how....already done so much shopping also quite sian liao!

first he brought us to one museum when it was filled with human skulls...serious no jokes! they even had a kind of map puzzled up by real human skulls of different sizes...meaning the smaller ones were children's and the even smaller ones were babies....eee! very creepy this museum....

next we proceed to the real live killing fields somewhere in the outskirt......

on reaching there....i dunno...i just sensed sorrow and sadness in the air...i just sensed it....i m a pisceans with funny uncanny built-in sensor.

the air smelled of death...sadness and....vengefulness.....

after paying the entrance fees, chew drove the mpv inside and parked. we alighted and it was now free and easy. before we started roaming the vast place, we had to read a big notice board.

WARNING: DO NOT WANDER OFF UNMARKED AREAS. UNDISPOSED MINES MIGHT BE PRESENT. then a skull with 2 skeletons crosses.

the area we noticed was like marked simply with those plastic red/white liners...so we kept within this territory...MINES u know..i definitely want to return home with both legs...

there was a makeshift shelter simply with zinc rooft and wooden stilts. a display board with graphic bloody pics were put up.

they depicted the type of tortures that had taken place...the sadistic inhuman pain and sufferings the victims were put through before mercilessly put to death. and death was by a bullet through the head at pointblank....

nearby to this shelter were hollows in the ground...many many of them. there in the noticeboard, it stated that all these big dug up hollows actually contained mass burial for dead victims of the wars.....

i couldn't help it but there was a strange cold chill creeping up my back.....and the damp air turned different.....

somewhere in the middle of all this gore, there was a glass tower. i think it's about 5 or 6 storeys...can't remember...

there housed within this glass tower were white skulls of the executed victims....piles and piles of it...up to the highest level.....

they segregated out the bones. they had the males one from what age to what age. the females one again the age range....then the other age range...OH MY GOD! such hell actually existed here on earth....and all because of one crazy man POL POT......

A DEVIL HIMSELF breeding all the small sicko little devils to carry out all the murderous hideous task...very sad...;9(

i couldn't help it...i started without knowingly my sutra chanting....and i chanted and chanted with all my sorrowful heart.....and niagra falls auto turn on....and flowing down ....

even kids and babies were not spared in this killing....they were grouped together in another mass of skulls in the display glass tower....

soon...i had to leave...but my heart was really sad and heavy...i just couldn't understand how could human be turned into monster and killed their own kinds so mercilessly....why? was it power that blinded and crazy them into doing such hideous mindless murders?

hundreds of thousands were slaughtered with the slightest reason of suspicion....no trial...nothing...just a bullet through their skulls...and all the skulls on display almost all got a hole in their whiten skull......sad :(
