IPOH: An environmental non-governmental organisation is urging the public to object against a 60.38ha private Chinese cemetery project earmarked at a hill slope of Gunung Bujang Melaka in Kampar.

Eco-tourism and Conservation Society Malaysia president and chief executive officer Andrew Sebastian said several protected species of wildlife had been sighted in the primary forest in Gunung Bujang Melaka.

“Why the need to clear natural forests when there is so much idle and flat land available for cemeteries?“There are already two existing cemeteries — one public and another a private one near the area, so what is the purpose of having another one there?” he asked. “The public hearing is set for Sept 5 at 9am, and thus we need as many people to object to the project to save our forests.
