Izdham Zainal, Head of Policy Bureaus of MUDA Sarawak
*carbon credits stuff cost billions, but GPS government dint mention it*
Carbon credits will provide a new source of revenue for Sarawak ranging from RM315 million to RM1.039 billion annually and A Sarawak Climate Change Centre will be established as a centralised hub for coordinating, managing, supporting, and guiding all climate change and carbon trading initiatives in Sarawak, said Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
Izdham Zainal comment that, If Sarawak wants to build focus on carbon credits and it need to build carbon collection storage (CCS) , it will cost a lot. He said, a CCS needs 1.5-2.5billion, it is only based on the cost, and the operating cost is another calculation method, which is an expensive figure, which is not listed by the Sarawak government.
We urge the Sarawak government who want to establish a climate change center that needs to consider the cost, as well as whether there are facilities and professionals, so that it can be carried out more transparently. Rather than promoting, but see no results. They must list all the details.
So far we have not seen any details, no direction, what is the benefit to the people?
Carbon credit is still very new, and everyone does not know how to proceed. The form of buying and selling is also very complicated. A bit like bitcon too, uncontrollable.
According to Global Forest Watch (GFW) from 2001 to 2020, Malaysia lost 8.39Mha of tree cover, during this period Sarawak had accounted for the most tree cover loss at 3.04Mha. this is worrying.
Deforestation is what we need to solve, don't just look at the latest technology, but it doesn't solve the problem of illegal logging.

Special Randau
*calling on the EU to enforce deforestation-free regulations but exclude smallholders who work their orchards on a small scale*
More than 500 smallholders in the country signed a petition as a joint stance urging the European Union (EU) to review the European Union's Free Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) which is described as discriminatory against smallholders. The petition was sent to the European Union delegation to Malaysia by six representatives of the palm oil sector, namely the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda), the National Association of Smallholders of Malaysia (PKPKM) and the Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (SALCRA). The Sarawak Dayak Palm Oil Planters Association ( DOPPA), the Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (FELCRA) and the Rubber Industry Smallholder Development Authority (RISDA). The petition, among other things, asks the EU to recognize - Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) and remove Malaysia from the list of countries at risk if the EUDR is implemented.
What the EU is doing is right to protect forests. In Sarawak, logging companies (Samling, Shin Yang, Rimbunan Hujau, MPOB) are racing to apply for land for large-scale oil palm plantations. Before the plantation was opened, this company had made hundreds of millions of ringgit from cutting trees in the virgin forest, the plantation site. This logging company not only logs, but they control the land for at least 60 years. Native people's land was confiscated and forests and rivers were destroyed. We at RFS are calling on the EU to enforce deforestation-free regulations but exclude smallholders who work their orchards on a small scale. These smallholders usually manage their own land and do not clear virgin forests.

Matik from SADIA Mukah
*NCR land gazzate as national park but involved logging activities*
Matik is in the midst of conducting community Mapping. For the vidéo in the face book, it happened in Rh Jeffrey Belawit Ulu Tatau. They actually once had received an éviction notice /letter from Sarawak Forestry dépt of Bintulu Division.
The community to leave their Land which they have inhereted from their great grand parents that is their ancestral land. According to the govt, that area been gazzatted as National Park or protected Forest.
But that area also in the Anap Puput FMU. There is a logging company extracting the logs in that area is exiety Sendrian Berhad.
Wonder how come govt evict the community who have been living there for decades.
