This same boat-guided them into Malaysia, where they were turned away by a Malaysian police boat The second day out to sea, the boat was attacked by Thai pirates who took all jewelry, rings and valuables from the frightened refugees. Once the correct amount had been amassed the Tangs and their threeâ€" year old Son, Chi Hung, left South Vietnam heading for Malaysia, usually a two day trip. Tuget. who prefers; to be called Wai, said there was not even enough room on the boat for food or water. Tuget, who speaks English haltingly, told The Liberal the story of five difficult years of saving to accumulate the gold which could be bought illicitly in South Vietnam. The price for'the young family to join 370 others aboard a small boat bound for Malaysia, was 16 ounces of gold. To Tuget Hao and Boi Chi Tang, Richmond Hill's first Vietnamese refugee family, gold had a very special meaning â€" freedom.
