HAP SENG Building Materials Sdn Bhd Chief Executive, Ron Delaney, astounded us when he claimed his company's chase work in a Kukusan Forest Reserve has 'complied with a requirements' set by a authorities.
How does Delany's 'compliance' insist as well as 'approval by a authorities' block with a actuality that Kukusan Forest was designated a Class 1 Protection Forest between 1984 as well as 2003 that by law equates to despotic protection where not ONE STAND OF TIMBER CAN BE REMOVED, most less stealing rocks though by his admission, Hap Seng quarried Kukuksan all by that period ?
The Forest Legislation specifically state that no drop of timberland reserve in a process of stealing timberland produce.
This is a puzzling subject SEPA Tawau is asking Delany as well as additionally a Office of a Director of Forestry Department Sabah to answer.
How is it that Hap Seng seemed to be given a free palm to do what demeanour similar to a transparent defilement of a most necessary safeguard for Sabah's pass timberland resources?
We know from press clips some Tawau folks protested when they noticed this obvious anomaly as well as what happened subsequent was Kukusan was downgraded to Class 2 Forest Reserve, instead of receiving Hap Seng to task.
But even then, Class 2 standing permits usually commercial descent of timber, not rocks, starting by a boundary set in a Forestry E! nactment though Hap Seng additionally a single after another to chase for rocks under its Class 2 status?
To each Sabahan, this is transparent defilement of Sabah Forestry laws, not compliance.
Delany owes a people of Tawau as well as Sabah an honest explanation how he deems obvious violations as well as noncompliance as 'compliance'.
Similarly, a Office of a Director of Forestry Department additionally contingency insist since it 'permitted' quarrying even in category 1 protection Forest as Delany pronounced categorically that Hap Seng Building Materials 'complied with a requirements set by a authorities.'
How can quarrying a Class 1 as well as Class 2 timberland be described as 'compliance with a requirements set by a authorities' when a requirements set a authorities obviously rule quarrying out, as far as each Sabahan knows it?
Doesn't this box set a dominance that even Class 1 timberland standing doesn't guarantee protection?
This incidence worries SEPA Tawau since it suggests that even a Class 1 standing given to other high charge areas similar to Maliau Basin as well as Danum Valley Conservation Area does not guarantee they have been protected from being blown up.
Delany as well as Sam Manan need to insist a pass subject we have been asking from Day 1 -what makes it probable to deem non-compliance, compliance?
Other issues similar to a potential of leaving a poisonous lake behind, or so called 'compliance with approval s' such as quivering ,air blast, airborne dust, H2O quality as well as sound turn that Delany pronounced EPD was checking were only side issues.
Neither was SEPA looking at Hap Seng's tiny pledge to return a area with well landscaped look-out platform 100 metres above sea turn with hermetic highway ! access u pon a single side as well as a fresh H2O lake, upon project completion of it total of hold up Plan Supplementary agreement with Forestry Department.
Meaning Kukusan Hill of 190 metres over sea turn will be cut down to 100metres. How can Hap Seng compliance without violating Sabah Land Ordinance of bulletin Trig Hill when they brimg down a hill.
SEPA Tawau highlighted this box to alert everyone that no resources may be protected from unfamiliar squeeze if they tell Sabahans their exploitations of even Class 1 forests had a approvals of a authorities.
