THEY live next to a gold mine. While many would rejoice at such a prospect, the villagers of Bukit Koman in Raub feel that it is more of a curse than a boon.
Why?
Because a mining company has set up shop in the tiny hamlet and proposes to use cyanide for the gold extraction process.

I also from Bukit Koman, Raub, Pahang. The gold mining using cyanide just 2 meter far from villager's house. Exceipt cyanide, can they using other method for gold mining? It is not fair that government ignore majority interest (whole RAUB county resident) than minority interest (RAUB AUSTRALIAN GOLD MINING).
