Ecotourism & Conservation Society of Malaysia (Ecomy) has urged for the assignment of an independent group in order to monitor the bauxite mining in Kuantan, Malaysia. Ecomy is in favour of harmonised bauxite mining in the city with proper considerations of public health and environmental degradation.

“Bauxite mining must be harmonised with nature and this can be done through regular monitoring by the independent group,” Andrew Sebastian, co-founder and CEO of the Ecotourism & Conservation Society of Malaysia (Ecomy) told FMT.
Andrew Sebastian stated over extension of bauxite mining moratorium in Pahang, “This is a good time to take stock of what happened and to ensure all the possible loopholes within the processes of the EIA (Environment Impact Assessment) that have been uncovered in this saga are quickly addressed.”

“Use the time to take into account strict environmental adherence to protecting the people of the surrounding areas, and possibly rehabilitate and contain the elements,”
The Malaysian government prolonged the period of moratorium on bauxite mining in Pahang till the 14th General Election (GE14), which was set to expire at the end of this month.
