MELAKA: An environmental group has called on the Melaka government to conserve the remaining 3% of its forest reserve following news that fresh contracts have been awarded for sand dredging activities at a 200ha forest reserve in Jasin.

The Organisation for the Preservation of Natural Heritage Malaysia president Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil said the state government should stop giving excuses to justify their move to award contracts for sand dredging activities.

“Raw materials can be sourced from quarries at neighbouring states,” she said, adding that Chief Minister Adly Zahari should also understand that trees would be felled to make way for machinery to enter the dredging site.
