Story of MB 834

I arrived to Pulau Bidong with the boat in late September 1987.

When I boarded a refugee boat leaving Vietnam with 74 passengers in September 1987.

We traveled overseas for three days and Thai pirates they raided my boat and sunk it.

I was the one of two passengers that survived, as I floated in the South China Sea for couple days,

A group of Thai fisherman spotted me and brought me on board until we encountered boat MB834 where they took me to Malaysia and ended up in Pulau Bidong.
