  • 03 JUNE 2015 - KULAI, JOHORE, MALAYSIA: A Rohingya refugee who works as a truck mechanic, works on the brakes of a delivery truck in Kulai, Malaysia. The UN says the Rohingya, a Muslim minority in western Myanmar, are the most persecuted ethnic minority in the world. 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. They face harassment from Malaysian police who, the Rohingya say, extort bribes from them.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 21 NOVEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  The mechanic inspects the cable that pulls a small pedestrian ferry across Khlong Saen Saeb in Bangkok. There are only a few ferries that cross the Khlong. They use a winch to pull the boat across the Khlong. The fare is 2 Thai Baht, about $0.10 (US). Bangkok used to be criss crossed by canals (called Khlongs in Thai) but most have been filled in and paved over. Khlong Saen Saeb is one of the few remaining khlongs in Bangkok with regular passenger boat service. Khlong Saen Saeb was dug in 1837 to be a military supply line from Bangkok to Siamese armies battling Annamese (now Vietnamese) forces in what is now Cambodia. Boats and ships play an important in daily life in Bangkok. Thousands of people commute to work daily on the Chao Phraya Express Boats and fast boats that ply Khlong Saen Saeb. Boats are used to haul commodities through the city to deep water ports for export.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
