The idea of disrupting this pristine forest area with mining – which bears a heavy environmental impact – is deplorable. Sahabat Alam Malaysia president Meenakshi Raman points out: “How can gold mining be allowed in a permanent reserve forest? Mining is not a forest product under the National Forestry Act.
In 2021, the EIA for a manganese mining project near Gua Musang, also in Kelantan, warned it could cause water pollution and impact local communities, and threaten the habitat of 105 protected species, with some potential “irreversible impact”. SAM echoed concerns over water pollution, noting the Lebir water treatment plant was just 1km downstream from the project site.
Last year, NGOs urged state governments to ban mining in permanent reserve forests and environmentally-sensitive areas such as the CFS, which Meenakshi says should be a “no-go zone” for activities such as mining.Some policies do exist. But our Federal Constitution gives state governments authority over land and forests, which are prized assets for revenue. A mentri besar can decide to excise part of a permanent reserve forest and convert it for other uses, such as mining.
