August 2019

Apical demanded a clarification from KLK Berhad on the grievance case reported.

KLK Berhad clarified that PT MJSP is not in control of the alleged land clearing area as the land has been gazette by Ministry of Environment and Forestry as Community Forest Plantation area (Hutan Tanaman Rakyat) in 2016. According to KLK Berhad, it is development programme by local government for the community together with Gabungan Kelompok Tani Hutan (Gapoktan) and monitored by Forest Agency. KLK Berhad has updated the case in the grievance list under G06 which is available here.
