Death Railway survivors revisit past


The group of Death Railway survivors and their kin at the Myanmar border during a recent trip to retrace the railway line.

RETRACING his steps to working on the infamous Thai-Burma “Death Railway”, survivor V. Ponnampalam said nothing good came out of it.

Barely holding back his emotions, the 84-year-old said the railway track project only brought pain and suffering to the thousands of prisoners of war and civilians who were forced to build it between 1943 and 1945.
