Bauxite mining is slowly poisoning innocent people


Bauxite Mining is slowly poisoning innocent people in Kuantan!

Please note how serious the bauxite issue is in Pahang. Here we have lead, aluminium and mercury poisoning to contend with. Not to mention that we endure a monsoon season where polluted water can be carried directly to the people.

Bauxite mining is slowly poisoning innocent people

The Pahang government should heed the example of the wide scale poisoning of the people of Flint, Michigan from lead in their drinking water.

你还想毁掉什么?…


你还想毁掉什么?
还想再拿走什么?
千万亩的绿林因为你而消失于地球表面。
如今你又把黑手转向大地的深处。
道德、价值观是否对我们如此地渺小?
我们的孩子,是否不再有任何意义?

Berapa banyak lagi yang hendak dirosakkan?
Berapa banyak lagi yang hendak dinafsukan?
Beribu-ribu ekar hutan telah hilang dari permukaan bumi.
Dan kini kamu beralih ke perut bumi.
Apakah tahap moral kami sudah turun sebegitu rendah?
Apakah anak-anak kita sudah tidak bererti lagi?

How much more do you want to destroy?
How much more do you want to take?
You have already raped tens of thousands of acres from the forest surface.
Now you are digging into the heart of Mother Nature.
Have we gone so low in our moral values?
Our children don’t mean anything anymore?

PEMBOHONGAN BERTERUSAN…. Imej satellite dan foto terbaru yg dihantar kpd PEKA Pahang oleh “orang dalam” Pejabat Hutan ini jelas menunjukkan pembalakan berterusan di Hutan Simpan Lentang. Lebih mengejutkan, lesen pembalakan dikeluarkan kpd PASDEC, iaitu anak syarikat milik penuh Kerajaaan Negeri Pahang yg sepatutnya bergiat dlm bidang pembangunan hartanah dan ekonomi… bukan pembalakan! Siapa di belakang semua ini? Mengapa mereka langsung tidak mengambil iktibar drp kejadian banjir lumpur dan tanah runtuh di Lentang baru-baru ini?

He added that DOE tests show that the raw water of Sungai Riau – which is the source water intake for Bukit Goh – had mercury levels higher than 0.0001 mg/L.

“At 0.0093 mg/L the concentration of mercury is nine times above the recommended level for raw water.

“Such raw water sources should not be used for drinking water source, irrespective of whether the water can be treated or not,” he said.
