RE: Degazettement of forest reserves
- Plan PHN.SEL.(S) 08/3/2 Kit 16 Bil. (1).
-
Request
for extension to viewing and objection period
-
Allow
all residents of Selangor to participate in this decision
-
Up-load
degazettement information and plan on official websites
-
Have
a public hearing
I refer to
the notice of the plans to degazette sections of the forest reserves. In view
of the ecological and economic importance of the area proposed for
degazettement, I wish to request that the Selangor Forestry Department on
behalf of the Selangor State Government:
1. Extend the time period for submitting objections by another
60 days (i.e. extend the deadline from 16 March 2014 to 15 May 2014), giving
the public 90 days to view the degazettement plan and submit objections.
2. allow all residents of Selangor to submit objections and not
limit this objection process to only those in the Gombak and Hulu Langat
districts. The proposed area for
degazettement is an Environmentally Sensitive Area that includes water
catchment forests. The ecological
and economic services provided by this area is enjoyed by all residents of
Selangor. As interested parties,
all residents of Selangor should be allowed to have their voices heard.
In addition, in line with the Selangor State Government’s
calls for greater transparency and democracy, and in line with the age of
technology, we request that:
1. The proposed degazettement notice and related
information be up-loaded on both the Selangor State Government’s and the
Selangor Forestry Department’s websites and FB pages, as current news, to provide
residents access to the information for the duration of the objection period
rather than the notice printed in the classified section of newspapers for only
one day.
2. The State Government hold a public hearing to hear the stand
by the residents of Selangor on the degazettement and development plans.
I look
forward to your fast reply to the above, as the timeframe for the current
objection period is extremely short.
Thank you.
Yours
sincerely
