“Metro Kajang Holdings Berhad has committed crimes against the orangutans that are an
endangered species. And this is generally done by palm oil plantation companies because they consider orangutans as pests.
The fact states that many orangutans are living in the rescue and rehabilitation centers in
Balikpapan, Palangkaraya, Pangkalan Bun, Ketapang and also Samarinda. Almost entirely of 1200 orangutans are rescued from
palm oil plantation. If it is a baby, the orangutan mother must have been killed.
And if it is an adult orangutan which be rescued, nearly 100% must be severe hands and head
injuries because of
tied up with rope or beaten up by the workers.
The rescue team of the Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA) is the eyewitness that
can be used as evidence of the crimes against orangutans. The lack of law enforcement is the answer why crime and brutality
of the orangutans still continue. Until today, no one has been persecuted or in jail because of these matters.”
“The Metro Kajang Holdings Berhad behind the orangutans death is the right moment to
execute a total correction of mistakes that have been made in palm oil industry development over the years.
The legality is certainty an interest for investment. In the opposite, the political
interest to stop the legal process will result corruption practice and abuse of authority. And in the end, it will only
undermine the business world.”
