While the enforcement authorities still 'busy' with their finger-pointing, inaction resolution and more meetings to get things moving, the forest are disappearing fast right in front of our eyes, everyday! It makes one wonder what's the use of having such news reported in the headlines. Again, the Malaysia goverment has failed in totality to protect the interest of the people.
1. Lojing Highlands is in Kelantan state - Illegal loggings. (bottom) Headline news on 28-03-2007.
2. Balik Pulau is in Penang island - Uncontrolled hill developments. (center). In this case, land from the hill is taken for reclaimation project - a goverment project! Headline news on 29-03-2007.
3. Pedu Forest is in kedah state - Illegal loggings. (top) Giant tree of Asia, Stulang tree fetching up to rm5600 per tree has been logged illegally and surprise, surprise, no one notice it except the honey collector that has been collecting honey from this 100 years old tree for the past 15 years. 29-03-2007.
