BENGALURU: Fisherman Nye Nge Soe was returning from a night’s work to his village in Tanintharyi, the southernmost region of Myanmar, when he saw dark figures bobbing among the waves about 50m from the shore.
“It was almost 1am. From my boat, I saw a ship dropping many people into the sea. I could hear them shouting,” said Nye Nge Soe, 22, describing events on the night of May 8 on the phone to The Straits Times.
