Kuala Cenaku, October 28, 2007.
They came to camp in the afternoon, apparently a courtesy visit. Few uniforms, many in civilian clothes. But many. One after another came from the path leading to river. One after another, twenty-two policemen who had come from Kuala Cenacu, Rengat, Pekambaru. And they have warned all foreigners to leave the camp. Indeed, the presence of foreigners means international attention and political pressure, in which they develop atorno tales and legends of fixers: every foreigner here and 'potentially a secret agent.
but the climate is 'lying, there's no' tension, at least not yet. Two of our sitting in a tent with twenty-two representatives of the order, and began a long negotiation, interrupted by you, 'coffee' and cigarettes. At the end waives off foreigners, and they decide to leave the field. But two of them will stay with us, for our protection, we are told. So cops are about to permanently reside in the Forest Defenders Camp. But it will not stay long: a week before the fire and the tiger-men legends that haunt this strip of land sufficient to change his mind. Early in the morning proceed towards the river to avoid being more 'to see.
Well, to be saved and the man-tiger 'still uncommon experience.
