The government of Myanmar insists the Rohingya are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and has refused to grant them citizenship. Most of the Rohingya in Myanmar have been confined to Internal Displaced Persons camp in Rakhine state, bordering Bangladesh. Thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar and settled in Malaysia. Most fled on small fishing trawlers. There are about 1,500 Rohingya in the town of Kulai, in the Malaysian state of Johore. Only about 500 of them have been granted official refugee status by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. The rest live under the radar, relying on gifts from their community and taking menial jobs to make ends meet.

  • 19 NOVEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Muslim shopkeeper butchers goat meat in Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok. Between July and September the economy expanded just 0.6 percent compared to the previous year, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) reported. Thailand's economy achieved a weak 0.2 per cent growth across the first nine months of the year. The NESDB said the Thai economy is expected to grow by 1 percent in 2014. Authorities say the sluggish growth is because tourists have not returned to Thailand in the wake of the coup in May, 2014, and that reduced demand for computer components, specifically hard drives, was also hurting the economy. Thailand is the leading manufacturer of computer hard drives in the world. The Thai government has announced a stimulus package worth $11 billion (US) to provide cash handouts to farmers and promised to speed up budget spending to boost consumption.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence. At the same time, the value of the Thai Baht against the US Dollar has dropped significantly, from a high of about 28Baht to $1 in April to 32THB to 1USD in August.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Ben Thanh Market is a large market in the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam in District 1. The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and one of the city's landmarks, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles,ao dais (Vietnamese traditional dresses), and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine. The market developed from informal markets created by early 17th century street vendors gathering together near the Saigon River. The market was formally established by the French colonial powers in 1859. This market was destroyed by fire in 1870 and rebuilt to become Saigon's largest market. In 1912 the market was moved to a new building and called the New Ben Thanh Market to distinguish over its predecessor. The building was renovated in 1985.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 30 APRIL 2020 - STANHOPE, IOWA: Butcher knives on a wall at Stanhope Locker and Market, in Stanhope, Iowa. The family owned meat locker slaughters and butchers beef cattle, pigs, and sheep. The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2/Coronavirus) pandemic has spread among employees in the meat packing plants in the Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota, forcing many to close or curtail operations. This has resulted in farmers euthanizing thousands of pigs and beef cattle. Pork production has been slashed by about 40% because of the pandemic. Meat lockers and family owned butchering facilities have been swamped with farmers and ranchers trying to sell their livestock to them rather than the meat packing plants, but the meat lockers are backed up by the huge increase in supply. Many meat lockers are now full through the end of the year. Stanhope Locker and Market doesn't have any openings for slaughtering and butchering either cattle or pigs until mid-December 2020.
