Bruno Manser Fund calls for a resignation of a Malaysian High Commissioner to a UK over extremist remarks
(LONDON, UK) The Bruno Manser Fund, a free organization formed in Switzerland, calls upon a Malaysian High Commissioner to a United Kingdom, Zakaria Sulong, to resign over extremist remarks opposite a Penan, an indigenous village in Sarawak. In an interview with a Borneo Post, a journal owned by a Sarawak joist firm KTS group, a diplomat compared a Penan community's struggle for their native rights to other "petty issues" similar to animals in zoos.
"What you do is collect reports upon all a good as well as bad things written or pronounced about a country as well as send them back to Malaysia", a diplomat pronounced about his work in a UK. "Issues range from governing body to petty issues similar to animals in zoos as well as a Penans in Sarawak", a Borneo Post writes in today's online edition. The diplomat complained about NGO reports upon a Malaysian government's malpractices as well as singled out a Bruno Manser Fund (BMF) as "one of such NGOs actively involved in discrediting a Sarawak supervision in a UK".
The Bruno Manser Fund is repelled by a extremist tinge of a Malaysian High Commissioner's remarks. "How can this male explain to be representing Malaysia in a United Kingdom if he compares his own people to zoo animals?", a Bruno Manser Fund wrote. "We ! have bee n calling upon a Malaysian Foreign Minister to reinstate Zakaria Sulong with immediate outcome as he is obviously non-professional for a post of High Commissioner to a UK."
For three decades, a Penan, until not long ago South East Asia's last nomadic hunter-gatherers, have peacefully struggled for their native rights as well as protested opposite a rampant drop of a pleasant forests of Malaysian Borneo. The Sarawak supervision under long-term Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud have consistently refused to accede to them any rights over their normal lands. Even well-documented reports about wide-spread passionate abuse of Penan girls as well as women by loggers failed to have any authorised consequences whatsoever.
Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud has evenly abused kickbacks from logging for his own personal benefit. Research by a Bruno Manser Fund has shown which a Taib family is holding stakes in more than 400 companies in twenty-five countries as well as offhsore destinations, value multiform billion US dollars. In a minute to a Malaysian Attorney-General, BMF had called for Malaysian authorities to detain as well as take to court Taib for corruption, abuse of public bureau as well as other charges.
