Indeed, according to Dr Steven Chow, president of the Federation of Private Medical Practitioners’ Associations Malaysia (FPMPAM), the detrimental health effects of manganese are amplified tenfold for the Batek, whose immune systems are already compromised from chronic malnutrition.
“Based on our research and the pattern of deaths, there was an outside environmental factor of either poisoning by another chemical, another pollutant or an extremely high level of manganese from the mine that was at least partially responsible for this spate of deaths,” said Chow, who has visited the Batek tribe many times. “The government has promised us a report and an investigation, but so far nothing.”
Local private testing done by the FPMPAM, and seen by the Observer, showed unhealthy levels of metals, including manganese, and faecal material in the Batek’s only water supply. One water source had 25 times the amount of manganese deemed healthy for human consumption by the Malaysian ministry of health.
In the report submitted to the ministry of health by the FPMPAM, the Batek’s habitat was described as a “death trap”. It definitively concluded that the only water supply was “not suitable for human consumption unless it is extensively treated”.

Out of the jungle and into a death trap: the fate of Malaysia's last nomadic people
It swept over the settlement like a plague. First came a fever, then their throats swelled up, their eyes became bloodshot and their lungs rattled with coughing. And then they began to die. Over two
