KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Environment Protection Association President Wong Tack pronounced it objects the Genting Sdn Bhd offer to set up the palm oil indent in Pulau Jambongan, north of Sandakan.
"We received the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report from the Environment Protection Department which invited Sepa for comments though you will not even demeanour during the consultant's EIA report," Wong Tack said.
"In the initial place, the Department of Agriculture should not even have approved any Agricultural Development Plan for oil palm upon an island, let alone asking us to perform an endorsement for the CPO indent which the two-year State sponsored investigate has identified as the "most serious source" of wickedness of scarcely each river where such mills operate.
"They have blatantly used the rivers as their open sewers for palm oil indent effluents which have killed most nautical life," Wong Tack, said.
"We are aware which the Department of Urban as well as Regional Country Planning once deserted the offer for really good reasons as well as it has right away returned to us in the form of an EIA," Wong Tack said.
"We believe the initial rejecting was the correct official decision as well as Sepa stands by which decision," he said.
"This is since the attention has so far utterly failed to convince Sepa upon both their capability as well as sincerity to carry out their torpedo rubbish discharges which have rendered most rive! rs passe d as well as destroyed even celebration H2O for helpless rural folks," he said.
"We have to fight the really difficult battle to get them to even compensate any attention during all to stop their wickedness of the H2O systems during all fronts - POME, extreme NPK as well as pesticides together with banned pesticides," Wong Tack said.
"They have ignored most all the years of angry protests from affected villagers downstream as well as even if the State Government Minister reiterates plea for 0 discharge, most mills fright not as well as have remained recalcitrant," he charged.
To contend 'yes' to the Pulau Jambongan palm oil indent is to let them open the brand new frontier of deadly wickedness right during the doorsteps of Sabah's most prolific sea ecosystems as well as destroy it as well," he warned.
"The Peninsular Malaysia formed Genting Sdn Bhd wants to put the indent upon an island which forms partial of the universe important Coral Triangle designed to strengthen the richest as well as most diverse sea ecosystems.
"It's the really pleasing island surrounded by pristine waters plentiful with lobsters, white sandy beaches, sharpening tourism potential as an arriving dive site with emerging chalets for such purposes, lapped by the vital mangrove forest reserve," Wong Tack pointed out.
"What the funny idea to approve the big oil palm camp as well as then the direct for the palm oil indent upon such the sensitive as well as prolific sea ecosystem," he said.
"It obviously shows which the enlargement of Sabah's oil palm attention is removing out of palm as well as you need to check this unfettered growth which will eventually spin all the biodiversity as well as landscape of Sabah in to nothing though oil palms as well as acacia in twenty to thirty years ," Wong Tack warned.

"We know for the actuality which any brand new permit for opening an oil palm camp requires the smallest 10,000 acres as well as so the size of this Jambogan Island camp must be in additional of 10,000 acres," Wong Tack said.
"We had uttered out repeatedly in the past the approval of oil palm plantations in most small islands in Darvel Bay nearby Lahad Datu, as well as worse, the Land Office had alienated even steep hilly coastal slopes backing the total Darvel Bay, for oil palm." Wong Tack alleged.
"How funny can it get when both the Land Office as well as the Department of Agriculture approve steep hilly faces to plant oil palm with small or no production for miss of soil as well as since it exposes them to clever coastal winds which render them diseased as well as sterile ," Wong Tack alleged.
"The oil palm disturb is removing so ridiculous which you need to question both departments what had happened to due process,' he said.
"Sepa questions the authorities such as the Department of Agriculture, the Land as well as Survey Department as well as the Malaysian Palm Oil Board how could they allow such practices," Wong hook said.
"Although the attention is making the lot of money, you have also seen how the indent effluents as well as chemicals (fertilisers as well as pesticides) leached out had destroyed the State's vital rivers with no pointer of movement as well as you feel compelled to warn the people of Sabah the widespread of similar drop to the coastal sea ecosystems which have constructed Sabah's important seafood industry.
"We are asking the State as well as Federal authorities to impose an outright anathema to the due indent upon Pulau Jambongan in perspective of an imminent hellhole," Wong Tack said.
"The routine of CPO production requires outrag! eous qua ntities of fresh H2O to generate super heated steam for the sterilisation of creatively harvested fruits to forestall them from fast branch in to giveaway greasy acids, in further for the clarification as well as hydrocycloning processes, all of which produces outrageous volumes of palm oil indent effluents which turn big pollutants of the surrounding H2O bodies," Wong hook said.
"So where will the due oil indent upon Pulau Jambongan get its outrageous H2O indispensable except by pumping underground H2O which will eventually lower its fresh H2O list as well as invite salt intrusion?" Wong Tack asked.
"Even if the mills attain in achieving 0 POME discharge, oil palm planters generally pump outrageous quantities of NPK to force feed their trees to furnish as well as this alone can broach the similar torpedo blow to the surrounding rivers or H2O bodies when unusually high volumes of phosphates trigger algal blooms which will consume most of the dissolved oxygen thus causing incomparable oxygen requiring fish as well as nautical organisms to die," Wong Tack said.
"No government with any public demur during all should be the celebration to this environmental crime," he said.(DE)
