During the tenure of Yong Teck Lee in
as little as 2 years, he approved some 265 logging licences covering
over 300,000 ha (an area 5 times larger than the island of Singapore).
These licences were given to
cronies, associates, non-Sabahans included, and is clearly an act of
gross irresponsibility at the expense of environmental conservation,
sustainability and public interest.The delegation of authority to
approve logging areas given by Cabinet to Datuk Yong Teck Lee as CM, was
well and truly taken advantage of and abused by Yong to reward his
friends, cronies and supporters.
Can you imagine what will happen if SAPP were to come back into power?
