PSM calls for Selangor MB's ouster over forest reserve degazettement
  • 3 years ago
Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has suggested that Selangor lawmakers oust Amirudin Shari as menteri besar should he fail to annul the degazettement of the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve (KLNFR).

In a statement today, PSM environment and climate crisis bureau head Dr Darren Ong Chung Lee said Amirudin had disrespected the unanimous resolution by the Selangor legislative assembly in November last year to protect the forest.

He said the quiet decision to do so in May, and revealed only three months later, showed a lack of transparency, accountability, and concern over the climate crisis and violates the rights of indigenous people.
