GOLD it is and it will surely glitter but the risk is too much for one small community. According to media reports, "the residents of Kampung Bukit Koman in Raub, who claimed to have suffered health problems from the use of cyanide in the Bukit Koman gold mine project, today failed to get leave for a judicial review to stop the project".
Counsel for the residents explained that the judgement was based on the failure of the residents to fIle their complaint within 40 days after the Environmental Impact Assessment report was issued. The residents feel that the report does not comply with environmental laws.
Can this small community beat the big company? Stayed tuned.
