Vietnamese Refugees and Sabay Kieng

Sabay Kieng: Kieng was one of 14 Vietnamese refugees to arrive in Toronto Saturday to a new Canadian home, after living stateless in Thailand for 25 years, according to The Star. I really didn t expect this kind of welcome, said the soft-spoken Kieng and It took a quarter century for Sabay Kieng to reach the arrivals hall at Pearson International Airport Terminal One. Wearing a recently donated down parka, and pushing a cart laden with overstuffed luggage, the 42-year-old man was greeted by applause from several dozen members of Toronto Vietnamese-Canadian community. He was given a Canadian flag, and then the red and yellow flag of the former South Vietnam. Smiling, he waved them both. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
