LETTER | Why has no one highlighted the environmental damage attributable to it?
| Of late, there have been many criticisms on environmental issues in Johor, specifically about polluted rivers, mangroves and also the development of Forest City near the Sungai Pulai area. On Sungai Pulai, many have shared their views on issues pertaining to:the dugong and other protected speciesSurprisingly enough, no one has said a thing about Port of Tanjung Pelepas or PTP. This is odd as if one looks closely, PTP is situated right next to Forest City in the Sungai Pulai river mouth.
The oil spill thereafter spread out into the adjacent waters and towards the PTP areas. The sea here is actually referring to the Sungai Pulai river estuarine.vessel forced the shutdown of the Tanjung Bin terminal and impacted operations at PTP to the extent that Maersk Line, a major international shipping line, had to instruct its vessels due to PTP to divert to Singapore.
But nothing was reported on the damage that was done to the Sungai Pulai ecosystem and environment and even today no one is talking about the Port of Tanjung Pelepas . Why was there silence from the environmental NGOs back then and even today? Obviously, this is not important to the rather selective environmental groups or are they mere puppets and being used by hidden hands to only talk about certain issues and turn a blind eye to others?
