Environmental activist contrasts federal action in Sungai Kim Kim and silence over Sungai Pulai golf resort.

An activist wants to know if there are results from an investigation into a golf course sitting on a wetland and mangrove reserve in Johor. Sungai Pulai Wellness Resort.

She noted that environment minister Yeo Bee Yin was “always on the ground in Pasir Gudang” and had visited Sungai Kim Kim, site of a chemical pollution scandal, but had not deemed it necessary to visit the Sungai Pulai mangrove devastation. Sabrina, who is president of Peka, noted that the Sungai Kim Kim contamination had caused many people, including schoolchildren, to fall ill. She said the devastation to the Sungai Pulai ecosystem was just as bad, despite not having immediate impact.She questioned why no action had been taken against the culprits in the Sungai Pulai case, whereas three people have already been arrested and charged for the Sungai Kim Kim pollution.
