Malum Nalu is back on his blog where he loves to entertain us with stories about how bad things are in PNG – and how we alone are to blame. According to Malum our streets are dirty, the rubbish is not collected, our buses are a disgrace, our markets pigsties, our roads a joke and we live like animals among the filth – and it is ALL just our fault. Malum laments how the whole country has gone backwards since independence in 1975 because we won’t take ownership of anything.
But nowhere does Malum ever mention the role of his paymaster, the Malaysian logging giant, Rimbunan Hijau in the destruction of our environment, the destruction of our culture, the stealing of our lands and forests and most of all its role in breeding the cancer of corruption in PNG.
Numerous independent reports by researchers and academics from all four corners of the globe have pointed out the role of Rimbunan Hijau in illegal logging, human rights abuses and land grabbing.
This is what the latest SABL Commission of Inquiry had to say about Malum Nalu’s bosses:
With corrupt government officials from implementing agencies riding shotgun for them, opportunistic loggers masquerading as agro-forestry developers are prowling our countryside, scoping opportunities to take advantage of gullible landowners and desperate for cash clan leaders’
A preponderance of the evidence before us indicate that logging companies are the biggest beneficiaries of the SABL scheme… Our investigations reveal that over 50% of the so-called developers’ currently holding subleases on SABLs are connected in one way or another to Rimbunan Hijau (RH) Limited, which by far is the biggest logging operator in PNG.
Yet none of this ever appears in Malum’s posts on his blog, it is carefully hidden away as if it does not exist while Malum lecturers us on our terrible laziness.
But of course Malum has a long history of hiding his associations with Rimbuan Hijau and of writing propaganda exonerating them for their crimes
Come on Malum, do the right thing and point your figure at the real evil guys here. The ones responsible for breeding corruption, stealing our land and raping our forests – your paymaster, the devil himself, RIMBUNAN HIJAU!
