THIS Blogger's posting is so much more comprehensive that what I have posted thus far about the travails of the villagers of Bukit Koman:GOLD FOR ME, CYANIDE FOR YOU.
"It is possible for cyanide to leak during the transfer if sufficient precautions are not taken. And if that happens, water supplies in the Klang Valley will be affected" - Tan Hui Chun (Environment and safety consultant)
"Hasil kajian Kementerian Kesihatan mengenai tahap kesihatan
penduduk sekitar kawasan itu, menunjukkan tiada kesihatan penduduk terjejas akibat bahan kimia sianida." - T Muruhiah (Timbalan Menteri, Jabatan Perdana Menteri)

My comment after hearing one of the Directors of RAGM,Datuk Azinudin Abd Rahim....."if health is the issue, then our (170) workers will be the first to experience sickness. To date, we have no workers falling sick as all precautionary measures are in place."
That to me is a dumb statement....certainly not gold coming out from his mouth.
So how about providing
the same precautionary measures
to all the villagers in Bukit Koman.
CAN?

Looks like another visit to Bukit Koman is on the cards.....probably after the MU by-elections.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting and concerns. All Malaysian deserved greener and safer living place.
This is an environmental issue that involves public interest. I urge RAGM to demonstrate their social responsible by allowing independent parties to assess the validity of the claims by RAGM that its mining operation including the use and disposal of cyanide has been conducted in full compliance with all prescribed legislation of Malaysia and other applicable international guidelines, and also sign the International Cyanide Management Code.

Excellent initiative, Zorro. You are certainly well-named! Not so easy for me to scoot around, but I'm so glad you're taking on these well-connected cyanide poisoners!
Thanks for the supports. I remember 2 BR Bloggers are with us when visiting Bukit Koman 2 weeks back.
Will keep in touch.
