*SAM Supporting Save Rivers in the Fight Against SLAPP*
As a team of environmental activists, SAM wholeheartedly support Save Rivers in their campaign to "stop the SLAPP" (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation).
Save Rivers plays a crucial role in defending environmental and land rights, particularly in cases where communities are affected by logging activities without their consent. It is essential to support Save Rivers as they raise concerns about the environmental impacts that directly affect communities, including Indigenous communities, who rely on the environment for their livelihoods. If we don't raise these issues with relevant authorities and government agencies, who will? Save Rivers serves as a voice for communities, shedding light on their struggles.
There was a similar case in Pahang involving Raub Australian Gold Mining Sdn BHD v Hue Shieh Lee, where decisions at all levels were in favor of Hue Shieh Lee. The concept of SLAPP is recognized in other countries as well. However, this is the first time Save Rivers has explicitly mentioned the issue of SLAPP in their documents. It is evident that these actions are not intended to seek relief but rather to intimidate defenders, creating a climate of fear that discourages others from speaking up.
