*Penan urges the GPS Gov to withdraw the MTCC certificate (FMU) and the Samling Logging license simultaneously*
Nick Kelesau praised MTCC's action in withdrawing one of the Samling certificates for the Ravenscourt Forest Management Unit (FMU) in Sarawak. This was done after Samling failed to prove corrective action through a previous audit. According to Nick all this time Penan made a blockade to protest the logging done by Samling. This is real proof that Penan does not want logging. We also demand that the government cancel the logging license given to Samling in our area (Ba Abang and Long Pakan). Since Samling logged in our area, our forest has been badly damaged. Our forest reserves were encroached upon, our food supply was affected and even worse, the good relations between the villagers were becoming strained. Residents can no longer pray in one church. There are villages that are arguing over the existence of two village head positions. Samling carried out a campaign to divide the villagers so that they would be easy to dominate. Nick wants all Samling logging licenses revoked and the Penan forest returned.
