Yes,i have read about the sad history of the Ex. Vietnam camp at Pulau Galang. I doubt I will be heading there this 7th month,dont wish to bring back "something" I didn't want to back to Sillypore.

I do have a question tho,the good temple you mention at the Galang island, is it the Guan Yin temple as below :

The current Galang camp Guan Yin temple look -


The same Guan Yin temple above's look a long time ago -

(according to the internet info)

...OR are you refering to the Buddhist Temple inside the camp itself (as below) :


...that is very bear to the below sleeping Buddha statue.



Thank you.

*There seems to have quite a few other smaller scale temples in that area too.
