HSBC has reportedly come under fire from
activists over its alleged support of companies suspected of unsustainable
logging and other environmental transgressions in Sarawak.
According to an article in The Economist today,
an international campaigning group Global Witness has released a report that
puts the bank in the spotlight for doing business with a number of companies
that have allegedly failed to meet the bank’s green policies.
Global Witness has identified six HSBC loans totaling $25m
to non-compliant Sarawak loggers, made since the
bank introduced its forest policy announced in 2004 that it would not do
business with companies who do not make “reasonable efforts” to comply by 2009
the REPORT
stated.

The Sarawak Government last Thursday, to ban the import of the product with immediate effect, following tests which detected the presence of chloramphenicol. The antibiotic is used to treat bacterial infection which could be harmful to health.
Can anyone expects to see bankers having conscience and high morals?...that will be the day. Like they say, "If you owed the bank one million, you are in trouble. If you owed the bank 100 million, the bank is in trouble" So screw them...if you can.

As far as BN's leaders are concerned, corruption is the norm.They breathe in corruption, eat in corruption and sleep in corruption.They do not know how to survive without corruption.It is their way of life.If there is no corruption for them and if the relevant authorities don't sing to their tune, these god-forsaken group of corrupted people will make life miserable for those concerned. That's the message they proclaim loud and clear. They are unprincipled and a shameless brood of beings that even those on death-row are angels compared to them! Let's not fail to boot them out at GE13!
