I was in Medamit, Limbang for a project few months back and I saw the cleared forest for logging (and oil palm plantation) when I was there. From the place I stood, the area is a far and wide as my eyes could see. Must be thousands of hectares! Did a little bit of Googling, not surprising, some cronies related to Alfred Jabu own the place. The list of companies under Taib's cronies - namely Awang Asfia, Wan Morshidi, Julaihi Narawi, Wahab Dollah and many more can be found here. This is a good site to start with, a bit too old and lack of attention given. Thinking of compiling it and share it to the world. http://www.geocities.com/sayottaib/ Good post man!

But the fate of it remaining virgin will be decided by the leader and lawmakers from their respective administrative states, as well as the conglomerate that dictates the global timber industry, such as the lush green group, the three goat company, the three zero company, and the company of the rising sun. At the height of the war of words between the duo, Taib accused Rahman of giving away a whopping 1.25 million hectares of logging concessions worth RM22.5 billion to his family and cronies in his 11 years at the helm. But having terminated the concessions disbursed by his uncle, Taib himself awarded an even bigger portion of the state’s resources to his own family and his set of cronies - 1.6 million hectares in total, or about the size of 26 Singapores. The “state-owned”, which simply means owned by the Chief Minister, too - Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (STIDC) is the organization that takes charge of every little thing that involves timber and wood produced in Sarawak. Truly, Sarawak pride itself in having one of the world’s most complete grading system that even the European timber industry is lacking. The grading process covers quality control and making sure that the quality meets the stringent standards and also the requirements of the customers. Timber exporters were required to submit by hand, the grading and summary report produced by timber graders, and the payment of RM1/cubic meter “development” fee to obtain a certificate from the local STIDC office before the timber can be exported. Just a year ago, STIDC took the initiative to go online, in an effort to save time and to keep track of the timber production/export statistics. Timber graders representing the timber exporter can now submit and apply for a grading certificate through their online forms. http://www.alexallied.com/what-the/illegal-logging-in-sarawak [...] [...] 21) Sarawak on the Borneo Island has been known all over the world for its lush, virgin tropical rainforests, one of the three largest undisturbed rainforest blocks remaining worldwide.
