“We even formed a team to survey the islands in question, but it turns out there are only two chief residents and their families do not know the existence of the plan .. This term is like food that has not been cooked but has been presented,” said Nashirudin.
Ahmadiyah refugees admitted to not knowing how long they would stay in the guesthouse Transito.
