“Greed has blinded many of those in power.

Works for the Pitas shrimp project started in year 2013 with no land approval being obtained nor EIA being carried out. Only after the people exposed this issue, an EIA review was conducted in June 2014. It was subsequently rejected by the EIA review panel but to our total shock and dismay, on Dec 19th 2014, the EPD director unilaterally approved the EIA. And magically, on the very next day, Dec 20th, the project, with all farm infrastructure completed, was officially launched by Chief Minister Musa Aman. As usual, again and again, we see a blatant abuse of the laws and regulations by those in power!” – Wong Tack
