By NDPHR(exile),
A Rohingya's letter (via Bo Min Aung) regarding part of how Rakhines and authority are looting Rohingya's properties, lands, religious buildings. It is nothing to say more than how they are insulting even on religion. God Buddha did not teach to do like this..
The shrine mosque of Badar Makam (Budder Mukam), built in memory of the eminent Saint Allama Shah (Pir Badar Sha) in 1727. It was meditation place of saints, historian says the place was located since 7th Century AD during Islamic preachers arrived..
It is situated in the territory of East Sanpy (East Barsara), near Sittwe Point on the southern side of Akyab/Sittwe. There were two rocks lapping each other and lie in front of the shrine and caves used for meditation by Saint (Fakir). Despite they have been seized since 1978, muslims were allowed to worship until 1990. Farming lands near by it belong to Rohingya were also replaced with Navy camp before 1990. Now, the area was replaced with Military Training School and the building is locked in the compound.
In Rohingya tradition, its sign said to have the Akyab Island appeared into larger therefore authority do not date to demolish it. Another fact is possibly for the name Badar Makam was also called as Budder Mukam according to The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland © 1894 Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

A Rohingya's letter (via Bo Min Aung) regarding part of how Rakhines and authority are looting Rohingya's properties, lands, religious buildings. It is nothing to say more than how they are insulting even on religion. God Buddha did not teach to do like this..
"Let me share my feeling please before I die"
My name is M+++ J++++. I was born in 1949, in A---- P-----, Akyab.
I was grown there and became Imam of Amla para Mosque.
--------------------------------------------
In 1968, there was a storm hit Akyab and minaret was destroyed. When I was young, there were only one third of the Akyab’s population was Buddhist Rakhine, the rest were Muslims.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In front of our Mosque, there was a wide field in which we used to play with my friends. In 1976, Rakhine Buddhist were honored by Rakhine State, the socialist Government gave them favor. Soon I saw our field was occupied by Awa Kyunetha, original Rakhine gave that name for Bangali Rakhine and built a monastry in front of our Mosque. There was a operation called Nagyamin in which Rakhine Immigrations and polices took most of the Muslims’ identities and accused them as foreigners. I couldn’t forget the night when Immigrations and polices knocked our door .When we woke up one of them kicked me three time, and asked our identities. They didn’t arrest me as I was an Imam, I thought.
I usually went to Point beach where we used to play and prayed Badar Mukam Mosque.
