[BERITA UTAMA]
RFS mendapat pesanan wsap daripada Patricia Helen memaklumkan bahawa beliau tidak dapat dihubungi kerana tiada liputan internet dan telephone di kampung Ba Abang. Beliau meminta kami menghubungi Cathrine Paul untuk memberi perkembangan.
Cathrine menjelaskan bahawa kaum penan Ba Abang tak akan membincangkan apa-apa syarat dengan pihak GT Interhill. Kerana satu sahaja matlamat kaum Penan Ba Abang iaitu, syarikat pembalakan harus keluar daripada tanah dan hutan mereka. Sehingga hari ini banyak sudah kerosakan hutan dan sungai di Ba Abang dan kalau diberi lagi lessen membalak kepada syarikat ini makan akan musnahlah hutan kaum penan. Cathrine menjelaskan bahawa kaum penan berhak menjalani cara hidup yang mereka mahukan yang tidak terlalu bergantung kepada wang. Sebaliknya mereka bergantung kepada hutan untuk mendapatkan sumber makanan.
Cathrine meminta supaya kaum penan di seluruh baram Bersatu hati melawan syarikat pembalakan yang menceroboh tanah mereka. Syarikat-syarikat ini masuk ke tanah mereka tanpa kebenaran . Dan syarikat-syarikat ini juga memecahkan kaum penan kepada beberapa kelompok supaya ada yang menyokong mereka. Cathrine juga meminta mana-mana pihak yang bersetuju dengan kaum penan supaya berblockade bersama mereka. Kerana jumlah kaum penan yang sedikit dan mereka tidak begitu mahir menagani taktik penipuan daripada syarikat pembalakan. Kami di RFS menggesa supaya lessen pembalakan GT Interhil dibatalkan untuk menghormati hak kaum penan.
[TOP STORY]
RFS received a WhatsApp message from Patricia Helen informing her that she could not be contacted because there was no internet and telephone coverage in Ba Abang village. He asked us to contact Cathrine Paul to give an update.
Cathrine explained that Ba Abang Penan people will not discuss any conditions with GT Interhill. Because there is only one goal of the Penan Ba Abang, that is, logging companies should get out of their land and forest. Until today, there has been a lot of damage to the forests and rivers in Ba Abang and if more logging licenses are given to this company, the forests of the Penan people will be destroyed. Cathrine explained that the Penan people have the right to live the way they want that is not too dependent on money. Instead they depend on the forest for food sources.
Cathrine asked that the Penan people throughout Baram unite to fight the logging companies that are encroaching on their land. These companies entered their land without permission. And these companies also split the Penan people into several groups so that some would support them. Cathrine also asked any party that agrees with the Penan people to blockade with them. Because the number of Penan people is small and they are not very good at dealing with fraudulent tactics from logging companies. We at RFS call for GT Interhil's logging license to be canceled to respect the rights of the Penan people.
