Roland Engan, Chairman of the Sarawak PKR
*Carbon Trading in Sarawak: Who Reaps the Benefits?*
In the keynote speech at the Carbon Asia conference on 15 March 2023 which took place in Kuching. The Sarawak Premier expects that Sarawak will earn RM315 million to RM1.039 billion a year through Carbon trading. We agree with carbon trading for economic benefits and environmental sustainability. We maintain the forest and stop this logging (Zero logging) which PKR Baram proposed more than a year ago - according to Roland. But we still question who benefits the most when this carbon trading is implemented. Will Orang Asal also get a share of the carbon trading revenue? asked Roland. Or licensees and concession holders will be given and monopolized by giant logging and plantation companies that have been destroying and polluting the environment. We Sarawakians want laws that favor the people, not capitalist companies. Roland lashed out at the Sarawak Government under the leadership of GPS which wants carbon emissions but still allows/gives licenses to loggers. This is the difference between our policy when compared to GPS. Roland wants the proceeds of carbon trading to be paid directly to the people who look after/own the forest where the carbon is obtained.
Another thing that the people should be aware of according to Roland, the Carbon Trading and Land Affairs Bill (to be presented in November 2023) will give the state government the right to control, dominate and collect revenue not only from the forest but also what is in the land , rivers and in the air (including carbon). This all gives results to the state government but not to the poor people who own land, rivers and forests. Roland urged the people of Sarawak to elect a government that safeguards their rights and at the same time provides economic prosperity. Regarding the GPS issue, all 82 state assembly seats will be contested in PRN13 Sarawak. Roland stressed that PH and PKR Sarawak are ready at any time to replace GPS to govern Sarawak. With the awareness of the majority of the people will give hope for change.
