Speaking at a press conference at the Gua Musang Hospital today, the health minister said that the only hurdle the government is facing is in identifying the locations where the bodies were buried. “We are more than willing, but we do not know where exactly they buried them,” he said when asked if the ministry would consider exhuming corpses of several members of the Bateq tribe of the Orang Asli community in Kuala Koh.
Waytha Moorthy explained that the rest of the deceased had died when they were travelling on foot between Kelantan and Jerantut, Pahang, while they were sick.
