DoE’s admission on Penang islands project justifies stopping it, says NGO FMTNews
The Penang South Islands project was given the final approval by federal environmental regulators last week.
Sahabat Alam Malaysia said the department’s former director-general had also warned that the project would damage the fishing grounds, the turtle landings and part of the coral reefs at Pulau Rimau, among others.“I am not saying it. The department of environment is saying it. That this will cause irreversible damage and significant negative impact to the fisheries resources and threaten the country’s food security.
She also said that the 71 conditional approvals imposed on the project would not ease the public’s concerns.
