Explain reports of new timber deal, Musa
Saturday, 12 January 2013 Super Admin
Why has Yayasan Sabah, headed by Chief Minister Musa Aman, awarded 80,937 hectares of land to Pemaju Holdings Sdn Bhd?
Queville To, FMT
KOTA KINABALU: The State Reform Party (STAR) Sabah chapter wants Chief Minister Musa Aman to respond to the Business Times report on the purported timber deal involving 80,937 hectares (199,995 acres) to be awarded to Permaju Holdings Sdn Bhd by Yayasan Sabah.
Party chairman Jeffrey Kitingan contended that as the chairman of Yayasan Sabah, Musa should clarify the issue, instead of getting the Director of Forestry Department to deny it.
“The director of forestry is being used as a mouthpiece to deflect the issue and avoid the real facts. His mere denial is out of context as the deal was reported to be with Yayasan Sabah.
“It is the chief minister having direct control of Yayasan Sabah, not the of director of forestry, who is the appropriate person to answer on the timber deal.
“Many answers need to be given so that allegations of timber kickbacks like the RM40 million ‘donation’ to Sabah Umno will not arise,” he said.
A former chairman of Yayasan Sabah himself, Jeffrey also questioned why the foundation awarded a huge area of concession to such a company at this time and who stands to benefit.
“Why are outsiders given priority in awarding of concessions and land instead of Sabahans?
“If there is no truth to the alleged timber deal, why is the report so detailed? If the report is not true, the government should consider suing the parties involved and lodging reports with the police, MACC and other bodies.
“If the report is true, which will not be surprising, the state government is selling the future of Yayasan Sabah, the state and Sabahans and the Umno-BN state government should be voted out in the coming general election,” he said.
He said that the Business Times report clearly re-affirms Sabah STAR’s stand that the “future of Sabah lies in the hands of Sabahans, not outsiders or Sabahans under the control of outsiders”.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 250 of 250 Newer› Newest»Rahim berkata pergeseran mereka bukan sahaja menyerlahkan kelemahan kepimpinan parti itu tetapi juga ketidaksepakatan dan keretakan serius dalam kalangan parti pembangkang.
para penyokong parti pembangkang itu, khususnya di daerah Papar, supaya menilai semula sokongan mereka terhadap pakatan pembangkang.
Yang menjadi mangsa tentulah para penyokong parti...Pintu Umno dan Barisan Nasional sentiasa terbuka kepada sesiapa sahaja termasuk penyokong parti pembangkang.
Tidak ada apa-apa yang perlu disegani kerana Umno dan BN sentiasa mengamalkan dasar menyatupadukan semua kaum di negara ini tanpa mengira fahaman dan anutan agama
All politicians are ‘cari makan’ (making a living) but some do it for their personal benefits while others are doing it for the people
Kalau Musa kekal jadi CM lagi, pasti Sabah akan bertambah maju.
Hahahha, macam lucu pula kalau si DJK cakap si WB ni 'politik cari makan'. Jadi dia tu apa? hahaha
Tak lama lagi PRU, kamurang dah tau kah siapa nak undi nanti:P
Terlalu banyak karenah timbul, mungkin sebab masing-masing pun mahu jadi hero. hihi
Semuanya akan berlalu dan pasti banyak juga hal yang akan timbul nanti. Apapun, kita nantikan saja siapa pilihan rakyat yang sebenar.
ini hanya cara JK untuk menjadikan dirinya sebagai hero.
bila PRU sudah dekat, isu seperti ini akan dimainkan untuk kepentingan politk mereka.
STAR seperti tidak mahu bekerjasama dengan parti-parti pembangkang yang lain yang ada di Sabah.
ketidaksepakatan di kalangan parti pembangkang yang ada di Sabah ni menunjukkan masing-masing ego.
tuduhan-tuduhan yang bersifat politik semata-mata tidak perlu diberikan tumpuan.
Lepas pejabat Razak di Numix Engineering kena serbu SPRM, khabarnya siasatan makin meluas dan mendalam. Razak sudah marah pasal mana boleh SPRM siasat orang yang hebat macam dia?
Dia kan hero yang selalu tuduh orang lain buat rasuah? Sebelum ini Razak dah tuduh SSM dengki dan nak anayia dia bila SSM heret dia ke mahkamah. Jadi sekarang dia tuduh SPRM pula yang dengki dengan kejayaan dan kekayaan dia dia cuba jatuhkan dia. Berkali kali dia menulis surat pada PM dan menteri menteri lain supaya siasatan di berhentikan dan kes di tutup.
Tapi Razak Numix masih belum puas hati. Jadi dia dah buat keputusan yang dia tak payah berlakun sokong kerajaan lagi. Dia dah buat pakatan jahat dengan hero pakatan Rakyat, Rafizi Ramli.
Sebab apa Rafizi, sebab blogger UMNO tak nak masuk campur dengan Razak lagi. Dan Razak juga ambil iktibar dari perbuatan Rafizi yang berjaya menganiaya Shahrizat walaupun beberapa bulan lepas tu SPRM telah siasat dan membuat keputusan yang Shahrizat tidak terlibat dengan perbuatan rasuah dalam isu NFC.
Bagi Razak, Rafizi boleh jadi doktor kelentong(spin doctor) dia yang baru sebab boleh nayakan menteri walaupun tiada bukti. Orang macam nilah yang Razak sanjung dan percaya!! Lagipun ura –ura nya target terbaru Razak ni ada dua tiga orang berpangkat menteri dan mungkin juga dua tiga orang berpangkat tinggi di SPRM.
Jadi kita tunggu dan lihat siapa lagi yang Razak dan Rafizi akan kenakan. Yang pasti ialah memang penyokong pembangkang sekarang suka dengar cerita cerita merapu ni dan percaya bulat bulat.
Bagi mereka semua menteri dan pegawai atasan buat tak betul dan kalau orang macam Razak ni join pembangkang maka betullah dia di anayia. Senang sungguh nak tipu dia orang ni. Patut lah orang macam Rafizi pun boleh jadi hero mereka. Dan lepas ni Razak boss baru Rafizi pun akan jadi hero mereka juga.
Sepatutnya, kita kena menyokong usaha menbanteras rasuah. Bila Shahrizat di tuduh macam macam oleh pembangkang. Kita bersabar dan biarkan SPRM buat siasatan walaupun penyokong pembangkang dah bersorak.Tak payah kita kelentong orang sebab proses SPRM yang ada sudah terbukti adil.
SPRM tak ada niat nak pergi nayakan sesiapa dan semua siasatan dibuat berdasarkan bukti kukuh. Orang yang cuba mempolitikkan rasuah ni ialah orang yang takut menhadapi kebenaran, Kalau salah salah lah, kalau tak salah baru kita boleh berdiri kuat sebab kita berdiri dengan kebenaran. Macam Dato Seri Shahrizat sekarang yang makin kuat sokongan kepadanya.
Wah dasyat betul PAS sekarang ni, boleh kata mereka ni punya main rasuah secara open punya woo! Contoh macam kat TV3 tadi Dato Halim, secara terang-terangan offer RASUAH kat pegundi yang balik mengundi! Siap boleh cakap ini bukan rasuah!
PAS boleh rasuah secara terang-terangan sekarang ni sebab penyokong taksub PAS akan kata, takpe asal Nicky Ajis kata ok maka ok la tu! Dasyat kan PAS punya rasuah? Itu belum lagi cerita pasal Balak dan tanah orang asli depa sapu kat Galas ni!
mudah untuk buat tuduhan, tapi biarlah ada bukti.
tuduhan yang tanpa bukti, hanya sekadar untuk mencari publisiti saja.
pemimpin STAR iaitu Jeffrey merupakan seorang pemimpin yang kerap lompat parti.
susah untuk mempercayai pemimpin seperti Jeffrey, kerana tidak mustahil jika dia lompat parti lagi lepas ini.
sebelum bersama STAR, Jeffrey ahli PKR, tapi dia keluar dari PKR.
dulu Jeffrey keluar dari PKR menunjukkan dia tidak percaya dengan PKR. jadi ini menunjukkan sukar untuk STAR dan PKR bekerjasama.
kemungkinan di Sabah, pertandingan tiga penjuru akan berlaku pada pilihanraya akan datang.
ketidaksepakatan parti2 pembangkang di Sabah memang dapat dilihat dari dulu lagi. malah DAP Sabah sering tidak sependapat dengan SAPP.
apa pun, rakyat pasti dapat buat pilihan dengan teliti dan matang.
semoga Sabah akan terus membangun dan kestabilan yang ada akan dijaga dengan sebaiknya.
Yayasan Sime Darby’s governing council member Caroline Russell tells Sarah NH Vogeler about its key conservation programmes for the year. Southeast Asia has the highest approximate proportion of deforestation of any dominant tropical domain, and may deplete three quarters of its prime forests by 2100 and up to half of its biodiversity.
It’s no wonder then that the environment will be diligently focused on by Yayasan Sime Darby or YSD, one of Malaysia’s leading foundations dedicated to conservation efforts. Established in 1982, it is spearheaded by the former Chief Executive Officer of Sime Darby, Tunku Tan Sri Ahmad Tunku Yahaya.
Up till now, YSD has completed and still continues efforts on 13 projects with the total value funding of RM111.54 million to be disseminated over the next decade. Caroline Russell, Sime Darby’s governing council member, says that all projects are closely supervised by the management team, and the foundation works closely with NGOs, universities and government agencies.
Some of YSD’s environment endeavours include the management and ecology of Malaysian elephants (MEME) a thorough programme which analyses and monitors the validness of translocating conflictive elephants from plantations and pocketed forests to patches of large woodlands to deal with issues related to human-elephant conflict (HEC). HEC is a complicated and omnipresent predicament which transpires wherever people and elephants share the same dwellings, often “battling” for the same reserves.
YSD has tasked itself with the appraising effectiveness of current management policies, mounting long-term management strategies based on scientifically-sound data of elephant behaviour and ecology, structuring capacity within the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) and Malaysian literati circles to bring into being a new generation of wildlife researchers and managers of high competency, and to translocate 25 conflict elephants every year. Over 70 per cent of YSD’s dedication in the environment pillar is converged towards the conservation of the Malaysian sun bear, orang utan, clouded leopard, Asian elephant, Malayan tiger, Banteng, (a species of wild cattle) Sumatran rhino, proboscis monkey (bekantan) and hornbill, known as YSD’s Big 9, a Herculean task but one YSD is determined to see through.
The conservation of hornbills project in Belum-Temengor Forest Complex (BTFC) is a two-year initiative which targets to conserve and increase awareness on the globally threatened hornbills. Key strategies include consolidating field achievements, increase field presence in Royal Belum State Perak, advancing and bettering engagements with key government stakeholders and native communities, and continue attracting schools and learning institutions, as well as the general public on hornbills protection.
Conservation and management of endangered wild cattle, The Borneon Banteng Programme in Sabah is also on the agenda. It’s aimed at collecting first baseline data through intense research efforts, assessing conservation status and capacity building. A Sumatran Rhino Crisis Summit themed “Last Chance to Act!” is slated for this April in Singapore. Russel elaborates: “This summit is intended to bring together under one roof, existing local experts and concerned citizens who have been involved with similarly endangered species in other parts of the world over the past several decades. It is a global effort to save rhinos from extinction.”
Through ingenious captive breeding methods in North America for example, the New World vulture California condor was reintroduced to the wild beginning 1991, the crested Ibis, poised, long-legged wading birds once doomed to be immortalised on postcards now roam blissfully in China, also the red wolf, North American canids which now breed wildly in northeastern North Carolina since 1987. Yayasan Sime Darby’s preservation lineup also includes the conservation of Sunda clouded leopards, found in the Sundaic islands of Borneo and Sumatra. This project, held in collaboration with the Danau Girang Field Centre of Sabah Wildlife Department, aspires to advance ecological research and carnivore-specific conservation education.
Under the SAFE (Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystems) banner, the Foundation’s 10-year study, an alliance with the South East Asia Rainforest Research Programme (SEARRP) has assembled a formidable interdisciplinary team of scientists to lead field research in Sabah’s Maliau Basin, investigate and record ecological and various environmental shifts which eventuate on the landscapes, a result of agricultural modification. SAFE is a fully-integrated research programme, and the world’s largest ecological experiment in terms of size and breadth of ecological processes. This conservation blueprint will affect considerable improvement to sustainable palm oil management and the conservation of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
Restoration and protection of orang utan habitat in northern Ulu Segama is the largest restoration project for orang utan in the world. Working closely together with Sime Darby Plantation Sustainability Department and the Sabah Forestry Department, YSD oversees the project with silviculture, regulating the establishment, evolvement, composition, health and conditions of forests, and protection of planted trees.
This restoration programme spans an expansive 5,400 hectares of deforested land, and to date, 1,380 hectares has been successfully replanted. The Borneo Rhinoceros Sanctuary in the Tabin Wildlife Reserve (BRS) began in 2009, and runs through until 2015. It is now the permanent domicile of three rhinos — Tam, Puntung and Gelegob. The Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia- YSD Chair for Climate Change was created to assess and increase understanding on the impact of climate change in Malaysia, and to identify mitigation measures and adaptation strategies including possible policy changes.
Malaysia is one of the first Asean countries to establish national conservation legislations and develop cohesive strategies. With a protected area system spanning 12 per cent of its land area, there’s much ground to cover. The Federal Constitution gives ample leverage for Sabah and Sarawak in terms of jurisdiction, limiting federal interference, including matters concerning biodiversity.
This has resulted in over 40 legislations encompassing acts, ordinances, enactments, flora and fauna management and conservation. It began with the Wildlife Commission of Malaya Legislation in 1932, followed by Wild Animals and Birds Protection 1955, Protection of Wildlife Act 1972 and Wildlife Conservation Act 2010.
There are notable wildlife conservation projects around the globe, from Brown Bear Protection in Romania, Puma and Jaguar Conservation in South America, Seal Protection and Penguin Rehabilitation in South Africa to the 1995-established Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, (DWCF) all with the singular goal of preserving and ultimately, saving life on Earth. Aldo Leopold, famed ecologist/environmentalist emphatically stated that “One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.
Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell or make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.” A world of wounds — would we be glad to live in a future without wilderness, to look at a plant or animal and only to utter, “What good is it?” As Leopold mused, that would be the last word in ignorance.
