Bo Lang Chai by Pusat KOMAS

An almost forgotten history of Penang's Clan Jetties video entitled, "Bo Lang Chai" which in Hokkien dialect means "forgotten", literally it means "no one knows". It's a historical video about the tremendous hardship of the early Chinese migrant workers struggling to make decent living a century ago video a Chinese puppet show in Hokkien dialect.
        It really brings home how poor Chinese people from China were, duped into working almost like slaves to build up Penang and promises of land by the then British government were never met until today 100 years on.
