Nicholas Mujah Ason, General Secretary SADIA.
*GPS Wants Autonomy for Environmental Control: Responsible for the Logjam Issue?*
In a media statement last March 5, 2024. Sarawak Premier Johari Openg said- Sarawak will have absolute power in relation to the environment when Putrajaya fully returns environmental autonomy to Sarawak. Mujah wondered why Johari said that. Because according to the federal constitution, the first schedule states that the state has full power in relation to land and the environment. This means that all this time the state of Sarawak has full power in relation to the environment.
Therefore, Mujah denounced and demanded that the Sarawak government take full responsibility for the logjam incident that occurred in the Katibas river on March 2, 2024.
We strongly condemn the actions of loggers who cut down wood uncontrollably and dump waste into the river. The Sarawak government should be held accountable and environmental criminals should be prosecuted - Mujah said.
Mujah urged local residents to come forward to make a report with photo or video evidence. Mujah who has just been appointed to the Indigenous Foundation Council (FSC) representing Asia, insists- with the new role he is playing. He hoped that all parties would work together to take care of the environment and provide complete and accurate reports related to forest rape in Sarawak. Forest damage in Sarawak is at a serious and alarming level
