An eyewitness to the May 13, 1969 riots proposed a monument be built in Sungai Buloh to remember the fallen victims and also serve as a site for leaders to make an annual pledge for the incident not to repeat.<br /><br />Foong Yee, who was a 24-year-old probationary police inspector when the riots happened, said this is how he thinks the country should remember what happened on that day.<br /><br />“We have so many monuments remembering fallen soldiers but here we have fallen victims of a bloodbath so let's have a monument where ministers and government leaders are present on a specific date to tell everybody else, never again,” he said during Malaysiakini’s May 13 forum yesterday themed ‘An Inter-Generational Conversation’ in Kuala Lumpur.
