Peter Kallang, Chairman of Save Rivers
*Contradictory Actions: Samling's Lawsuit Against SAVE Rivers and Praise for their Work - Greenwashing or Genuine Intent?*
Samling has filed a lawsuit against SAVE Rivers, an environmental organization, focusing on eight articles published on SAVE Rivers' website from June 2020 to March 2021. According to the plaintiffs, these articles contain false statements regarding Samling's efforts to obtain sustainable forestry certification. They are seeking 5 million ringgit in damages and a restraining order against SAVE Rivers and its directors. This lawsuit has faced criticism from 160 organizations, who argue that it is a strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPP) case. They believe that the substantial fine could potentially bankrupt SAVE Rivers and its directors, suggesting an attempt to suppress public criticism.


However, it has recently Samling posted a photo on their website showcasing the work of SAVE Rivers. The photo is featured in a section titled "Engaging and Supporting Local Communities." Unfortunately, the webpage erroneously claims that all the photos are credited to Samling's staff.


Peter Kallang, in response to this, has accused Samling of greenwashing. He does not understand the purpose behind Samling's decision to sue SAVE Rivers while simultaneously praising their work.
Peter Kallang emphasizes that any project involving communities should adhere to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to fulfill sustainable development while ensuring that no one is left behind.

According to Kallang, any project that affects communities should also provide benefits to those communities, rather than solely benefiting the companies involved and neglecting societal concerns. He believes that this approach is not aligned with the principles of the SDGs.
