SABAH Environment Protection
Association (SEPA) has called on the State Authorities and Hap Seng Building
Material Sdn Bhd (HSBMSB) to stop blasting Kukusan Forest/Trig Hill Reserved
for the past 6 months or more through press release, police reports and direct
engagement but failed to stop the on-going destruction of our iconic Kukusan
Forest / Trig Hill Reserved.
Not to say our valuable
resource (quality stone) being exported by foreign own listed company at an
alarming rate.
Hap Seng Building Material
Sdn Bhd declared the company had fulfilled all legal requirement under the
state laws and were issued with various licences and authorization letters to
blast our protected hill and pit mining our stones on the protected areas
leaving a potential toxic lake in the future.
In our engagement with them
(HSBMSB) they advise us to take our case to state authorities if we thought
they had done anything inappropriate as they have deem compliance with the law
with licences and authorization letters, issues by various state department.
Therefore, SEPA has taken
HSBMSB advice and now in court to file our case for judicial review. Coming to
court for judicial review will be our prime action to protect our environment,
forest and resources from being destroy and depleted.
