Willie Kajan from Long Terawan Mulu
Rampant logging activities lead to increasingly hotter climate
The country is expected to experience a weak El Nino phenomenon starting this month, which will escalate to a moderate level by November, according to the Minister of Natural Resources, Environment, and Climate Change, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad. He stated that this phenomenon is expected to result in a reduction of rainfall by 20 to 40 percent from June to October, particularly in the southern states of Peninsular Malaysia, western Sarawak, and eastern Sabah
Willie claimed that his Long house has been experiencing hot and dry weather for the past month so much so that the creek that supplies tap water to the residents of Long Terawan has dried up. Residents had to take water from the Tutoh river which was quite far from their Long houses. Not only that, the weather they faced this year according to Willie was unusual (abnormal) than the previous year. The weather is dry so that the rice crop does not grow. He compare to the past decades, and think that the cause is human activity such as excessive logging and the release of pollutants from industry.
Willie requested that the authorities take appropriate action.
