Spot on mate agree 100%

Isn't that basically his job though?

Thast is because this man isn't a biast jerk like allot of the media who just hates north koreans and anyone who believes the fake media.

@@MforMovesets His job or not is a hard question because this video is not cleary identifies him as a Shinto priest or a Buddhist monk.If he is the latter category,it is not his job but if he is a Shinto priest,it may be his job.from thai buddhist.

chris nelmes, statements like yours regarding respect bothers me somewhat. of course the monk would do this! what human would not? or is it you see very little respect given in your immediate world of family & friends? or perhaps you have become disillusioned of society around you? you need to gain a understanding of the larger picture of respect within society!

in my central european country the north korean ghost ships were present in the mainstream media for a few days. i dont know where you are from, but maybe you simply missed it

Respect goes a very, long way.

Common offering for alcohol to deceased/ancestors to pay respect.

Reminds me of a Japanese survivor of Iwo Jima who offered iced cold water to his deceased colleagues every morning as it was the last thing they requested before their death.

Im sure it was Sake not soju

@@MS-gr2nv soju is korean, it was because they were korean, and makes more sense in the context of this comment bud.

Its the same media corp. It's just better because you agree with some of its reporting now. That is it. Same BS. Even this segment of "investigative journalism" has really no scientific proof or evidence, just a bunch of people in suits telling you what they "think". Interviewing Japanese government officials and white british people and having them give you 'what they think' is just hearsay, no evidence or fact based journalism at all. Sad really. Also MediaCorp still owns CNA who is still controlled by the british crown, so what you're seeing is just british propaganda. They changed their tactic to display things that many Singaporeans already believe (hence confirmation bias). Most of their reporting is anti asian that are usually just interviews without proper evidence. I really wanted to enjoy proper journalism on both sides of the story with scientific evidence, but its still more the same. More people like it because they started reported on things people wanted to HEAR. Look how disgusting their behavior is. This isn't some animals that are dying, theyre human beings. They turned it around and said, .”its costing the country annually millions to repatriate them, cleanup, and give them medical care”. No respect for human life, people are escaping because of the horrible conditions there and at the last choice choosing to risk life to escape and they complain about how much its costing the Japanese government? Oh good grief.

@@JH-dl6vu is mediacorp really owned by ur so called "british crown"

@@khoo7431 Google MediaCorp and goto Wikipedia "Mediacorp's origins can be traced to the British Malaya Broadcasting Corporation, which was awarded a broadcasting license by the British crown in 1936 as a radio network. " This is an english station lol, every talking point is in english, all they do is interview British 'authorities', the white guys in suits are british, the guys giving their point of view are british. A couple of reporters are english born uncle chans. LOL Straight propaganda. Look at all the videos and "investigative pieces". Its all english guys giving their point of view about Asia or a british/american born asian dude talking about how evil asia is. The handover is still overseen by the British. If you really think about it, it makes sense. Singapore was british ruled (as pretty much a slave colony) before it merged with Malaysia which was also british ruled / colony. The british literally enslaved all of south east asia. The top ranking people in SG are British or europeans. SGers are second class citizens in their own country, like Hong Kong. British still command many things in SG and still influenced heavily. Most things there are anti chinese, pro west/brit while the people are chinese descent. Its literally colonial mentality like what they did to the phillipines or HK.

but no freespeech in Singapore

State sponsored channels with a lot of funding can produce great documentaries. One good example is al jazeera English; they comission great documentaries and series from international filmmakers. At the same time, I wouldn't ever trust their news commentaries on MbS or Yemen to be unbiased. RT, the Russian oligarch owned channel can produce some good stuff, but really they're mostly stirring shit in one way or another. Their KZfaq channel, Ruptly, generally livestreams whatever protests have turned violent around the world. An insidious way of spreading a sense of unease!

😞

China 🇨🇳

They can survive in tje sea knowing that sea is plenty of fish..maybe they encoubter china on the way..

South Korea's patrol official just got kill again by Illegal Chinese Fishing Fleet, this is the 2nd official and it spark outrage. So yes, it's all China since Illegal Chinese Fishing Fleet got over 500 BILLIONS DOLLARS worth of squid since 2017 by plundering in North Korea area alone.

Not only that, but the word is "whom."

I hope someone can help them escape

Only if they had oils like middle east, USA could have liberated them !

Japan has really changed, they are probably the best western friendly country in Asia

They probably take pleasure in speaking ill of koreans.

TGTG exactly but the thing they never acknowledge is unit 731

@@Lost_Hwasal gives anti-Japanese comment. So happy to speak ill of Japanese.

the countries? no, *countries* don't watch tv & videos..why do you believe that thought?? because *plenty* of people, the *human beings* in *many* Asian nations are very interested in what goes on around the world, including information gleaned from sometimes watching foreign media..some of the most interesting news agencies and documentary filmmakers are based in Asian nations, as well..that report all kinds of stories from all around the globe..which includes the CNA channel, based in Singapore - which produced this very doco..they seem pretty interested in Japan and Korea, right? they also report on things happening in places like New Zealand, the USA, India, the UK, Myanmar, etc.🎥📺

ADDUU AHMED I agree

at least link the channel, there are lot of options of DW in search results. Help promote the good educational and useful videos, the results are full of click-bait crap that they copied someone else's clip and made bad montage.

Are you from singapore sad video

Look at the credit scenes at the end of the video

Don't ask. If one truly wants to know, they do the research ❤

​@@TheINFJChannelyou sound like a hoot to hang out with.

Disney Princess of Mars bruh

China should be sanctioned for all of the North Koreans that they send back to their deaths.

Last time I checked, the dead don’t really have much to say about where they are buried.

If they're dead, they might as well be sent back to their families.

@Disney Princess of Mars As in sent back to their families for burial, etc.

My KZfaq recommendations on Hogmanay was Golden Gate jumpers.

@@lafingas555 saaaaame.. and I watched

Saaame lol 😂 but I watched it

@@lafingas555 me too dude

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯%

Even if it's obvious that one ship tried to escape (for example no fishing equipment and a far too large crew for a fishing operation) the Japanese would probably still declare them as fishermen, as to cover their bereaved families back home from prosecution as defector families.

Another video portrays possible conflicts with Chinese fishermen venturing into NK waters to fish, not sure how true it is though.

They use bigger ships in which the smaller ships can launch from.. Thats how they have successfully kidnaped in the past

I bet it's people trying to escape north Korea or they are starving and fished out there waters....no technology on boats because there probably all destitute a north Korean fisherman can't make much.

Were they diving in to grab the fish? The japanese pull whole oceans pf fish out with the fleets they have but complain about these people feeding themselves. Pure propaganda japan depletes the pacific not north korean dingys.

Agreed

OHHHH NO SHE'S IN PUBLIC BUT WANTS PRIVACY... THAT'S LOGIC

Ma’am, I didn’t mean to disrespect you so much to send you into a caps lock fit. Forgive my transgression Besides... A closed private business is not public. 🤦‍♀️

PrincessCupncake 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻👆🏻😉

Ohh is that what she says? I thought she was waving hello.

If so on reunification we would have to get rid of NK's leader and others who would take over when Kim Jong Un dies.

What? OMG. How do they expect them to be ready for war if they're not feeding them? Then again, war today is fought with missiles, anyway.

Sk and Japan and China China will strip the world

asmodeus asteroth and how do you know japan is? China yes but the others no. So you are sadly missformed

some people have nobody in their life and they are always alone even when a 100 people are with them they wont intermingle or play nice with others ,

Dayum, seriously !!!??? What a stupid joke....🙄🙄🙄😕😕😕

Don't believe it.

*impossible*

HAHAHAHA SO FUNNY

😂😂😂

I looked it up, it checks out!

It sucks!

North Korea have had the red cross since the 40s though so not sure what you mean?

Sad--but your comment is exactly what they do every second of the day.Make the worst assumptions--often false--then dictate and punish people for that.The you tube stories of defectors warrants our help for these people.

Steve R maybe, possibly

Plus.....NK doesn't really allow people to leave the country, so safe bet they were already deceased when the ship departed. Unless.... these are the groups of ingenious people who manage to flee.

@L1 How complicated can it be? Let the current take the vessel.

I dont mean to speak ill of the dead but almost all abductions in japan by North Koreans were from fishing boats it is a possibilty there were there to abduct Japanese citizens

@@djfhfh I don't disagree with you at all. In fact I don't think 99 percent of the people in the comments know what you are talking about as far as the kidnapping of Japanese citizens to be taken into NK story. So most just assumed they somehow accidentally drifted there it they are dead people being dumped off. Which makes sense if there are only 8 people that are dead and NK had absolutely no where to get rid of the dead bodies to where in fact it wild be much less of a headache to just bury them in Graves, it even Mass Graves that they can have dug up by other prisoners where the labor is off no cost at all. LoL. For NK to waste the resources of fuel (of their more scarce commodities, along with unnecessarily wasting ship after ship after ship just to get rid of 1 or 2 bodies at a time just sent very much reaching out there for an answer. But as far as the kidnappings go skiing with the recent capture of I've of those ships, it's far more believable that they might be doomed ships sent out to bring back more hostages. So I'm with you on that for sure.

only if it's profitable or there are geopolitical reasons behind it

They are all offered political asylum in Japan or S.Korea. Thus far none of them have taken that option. It's all in the film.

No. Asylum is not a human right. Just because things are shit doesnt mean you can stroll into any country and demand to be looked after! Thats why Europe is in such a mess

Take the asylum and their family might be in danger.

@@tarync6539 Deamn right!

They probaly have partrol boats there that will shot at anyone that goes to south.

Because if they dont, they will kill their familys instead (and them). There is always one person that will report them out of fear as they are brainwashed like this.

The north would shot them, not the south. South would be happy to accept them.

@Leopold Something not taught, or highlighted enough in modern education. North and South Korea, are technically STILL at war. They are on a "cease fire" treaty. At any moment in time the South could obliterate the North. Sadly, it's the North holding it's own people hostage, due to a socialist imperialistic following the Kim family. When a North Korean does run over the border, to the South, the Soldiers are cheering the defector on, and waiting with medical supplies. Meanwhile the Norths military is shooting at them. This is very well documented and very well known, in actuality.

No record of any such cases.

Well if you watch the film you will see footage of them actually fishing squid, so yes the evidence is all in the film.

@@nicholasahlmark7423 Facts

So of all the victims in this case you choose to feel bad for the fish huh

I think you confuse democracy with capitalism. Venezuela is technically a democracy, but people are eating from trash cans. Its capitalism what they need.

The act of private business itself scream capitalism. One scene in the video said that " the fishermen doesn't own the fishing vessel, it is Government's fishing vessel as there is no such thing as private property"( paraphrase involves, can't exactly remember the exact quote).But the thing with fish farming and alternative food source should be heavily invested by NK Gov. even though the they are banned but smuggling is one of the way to get money. The unification of the south and the north requires extensive program both to reform the people and introduce a cooperative system between the two considering both have been separated for so long that the only thing they have in common is the skin colour.

North Korea may never be a democratic state but neither is: 1. Britain / UK, they're a constitutional monarchy and 2. America (they're a constitutional republic). There is no such thing as democracy in this world. About every country is a republic or a monarchy. People that keep yelling democracy are either retarded and uneducated or spreading propaganda to think you have a choice in voting. Really. America nor the British are democratic in any way. Brits have a queen. America is a republic which means that the people in charge VOTE for you instead of your vote mattering. People should really educate themselves on politics and what democracy is before they keep spouting it.

Or, maybe the South and North unify like VietNam. Everybody calms down. South sends food north. The north sends power south. North and South combine manufacturing sites and skills and becomes an industrial powerhouse like China or Japan. The eastern hemisphere is a manufacturing Dynamo that buys all the western nations and governments are taken over by socialist dictatorships and most everybody is happy under one world government. Or, maybe not.

I'm with you. I was waiting for some mention of cause of death or autopsies and the only one mentioned was the noodle shop owner that said the body he found had the head stuck between two rocks. Any other bodies were just "washed up." Strange sort of reporting when there's no cause of death mentioned anywhere. Did they drown? Did they starve? Were they shot to death? Disease? Radiation burns??? Come on, "reporters." Do your job!

I was surprised that the Japanese government was warning the fishermen about disease. Caution over bioweapons makes sense these days. Everyone seems so angry and ready to fight now.

not important なら墓かと、ならハカマやや

@not important it's not just about biochemical weapons, though it's a possibility, but dead bodies carry diseases.

@@chickentowel7036 true, but i am one of the ones who leaps to conclusions. I'm working on it, but that's one of my shortcomings.

murderboats are the right term

I agree! I would love to see that. Either nuclear energy or weapons or specific to DPRK

I would love to see that too

Its earth on hell.

If the bodies were already deceased when loaded on to the boats then they would be more decomposed when they arrived on Japanese shorelines. The few pictures that they showed featured bodies of those who had seemingly died at sea, considering how fleshy and full of color they still were.

There's zero evidence that any of them were trying to escape, if you pay attention to the film.
