Justice Delayed for Bukit Cherakah Forest

It’s a classic David versus Goliath story: two environmental NGOs taking on the state government to protect Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve — only to be held back by a judicial delay that’s lasted over a year. Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam (Peka) and the Shah Alam Community Forest Society (SACF) say the system is failing them, and the forest, with legal processes moving far too slowly to keep pace with the chainsaws. We hear from Alicia Teoh, (Founder and Secretary, Shah Alam Community Forest Society), Damien Thanam (Exco, Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam) and lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan (President, Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam), who explain the details of this on-going case, and share why this pristine rainforest must be protected from further destruction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
