As the Battersea Power Station development in London finally opens in the presence of the Agong and Malaysian developers backed by Malaysian taxpayers' cash we look at some of the UK intermediaries who have profited while promoting the project in their capacity as decision makers in the public interest by at the same time taking up directorships with the spin-off company Eco World. Did murky Malaysian money muddy this London project?...
One of the most inglorious aspects of the PH government was the unquestioning campaign on behalf of Malaysia’s internationally criticised palm oil industry by the former primary industries minister Teresa Kok (who this week also baselessly implicated Nora Quoirin’s own parents in her death).
Putting the blame on foreigners and claiming perfection for all things Malaysian may cheer up powerful local players and pander to national pride, but it doesn’t win customers or the argument in the face of facts. More to the point it doesn’t address cruel suffering and environmental vandalism caused by greed.
Over the past two years public money has been poured into advertising, propaganda and legal actions designed to persuade Malaysians themselves that the concerns voiced throughout the major western markets about the abuses in the industry were merely the work of commercial rivals.
Wrestling with world’s largest oil palm company: The tale of Mustapha Foboi, a grassroot frontline defender
There has been a recent uproar at an oil palm plantation outside the capital Monrovia. It was characterized by irate youths setting up of road blocks and grounding of work over ‘compromised local employment deal’ as a transferred problem from Sime Darby to Mano Manufacturing Company, MANCO that since last year bought out the Malaysian company.
Amidst the furore, one name has resurfaced to hopefully save the fluid situation-that is, if prejudice is cast aside to drink from his sagely cup of water. He merits the accolade of dogged grassroot human rights defender. He is Mustapha Foboi 65, of Gbaa Foboi town, Grand Cape Mount county.
