You have arrived at the website dedicated to the story of the Asian Forced Laborers (AFL) of WW2. It is administered by the Malaysians and Indians in Bangkok.
The AFL are truly the forgotten people who labored and died in Burma and Thailand building the Thai-Burma Railway (TBR) and other similar projects between 1942 and 1947.
We will never know their names. We will never know how many nor exactly where they came from. We can, however, try to tell their story so that they will never be forgotten.
So as to make this complex story more accessible, we have divided it into Sections addressing the various aspects of the story.

Very very sad loose one of the oldest survivor Mr Arumugam KANDASAMY who had his last breath at the Chinese Privats Hospital Seremban at the of 97, on the 10th November 2024z the funeral ceremony was held on the 11th Nov. 2024, at no 10, Rumah Murah, Linggi., N.S.. May his soul attain eternal moksha.
Very pathetic. It has to be remembered and our young generation to read the history of migration for better understanding our culture and traditions
Agreed Prof.
Many of the younger generation know nothing of the Migration of Tamils to Malaya and other British colonized countries. The Mass migration can take us to about 500K people in total or more.
It was a good initiative to start up a monument to ember all those souls perished without any near recognition. The current family members has a place to pray and cherish their forefathers and relatives whom passed away during the period of building the railway tract from Thailand to Mynmar
Thank you Dato Seri, please share the page with others
Its a historical move to start this platform, each and everyone of us should know the painful history and remember our kin who had perished, 🙏
Mr Mathimugam, thank you for this, we must try and get this down into Tamil Schools both in India and Malaysia as History
A great effort taken for the past 5 years to achieve this historical “ NADUKAL” project.
