Amnesty International and Forest Research Institute Malaysia are the latest groups to voice their opposition to the"The Selangor Forestry Department’s failure to consult the relevant indigenous communities demonstrates a blatant disregard for the principle of free, prior and informed consent, as well as their willingness to put corporate development ahead of the welfare of citizens," said Amnesty International in a statement on its site.
Meanwhile, Frim said its director-general, Abd Latif Mohmod, had delivered a letter of objection to the Selangor Forestry Department Director Mohd Ridzuwan Endot today. "Based on the data reports of flora and fauna collected, there are at least three species of endangered trees that are mersawa paya , meranti bunga and meranti bakau "
Frim called on the state government to take note and make the"right decision not to change the status of the forest reserve to ensure that the source of the state's biodiversity source is restored and well-maintained".
If amnesty Amnesty is soooo good then why UK's forest cover is just 13%, EU is 30% -- while Malaysia has 68% according to WorldBank? These are good for nothing western NGOs, with vested interest.
