SCT has received a formal reply from Jabatan Alam Sekitar (Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar) that the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve can be legally converted into a cemetery without the need for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) because it is a land matter.
Since we are celebrating World Environment Day on 17 June 2007, we feel that this is totally ridiculous because if forest reserves can be destroyed so easily, imagine what will happen to other non-reserve forests and parks.
Because of this, SCT will be meeting with MNS and WWF to clarify this issue.

While it is true that a cemetery does not require an EIA, this letter is misleading. The DOE should have mentioned that in order to establish the cemetery, it appears that the forest would first have to be cleared. It is very clear that the clearance of more than 50 ha (127 acres) of forest requires and EIA. The proposed clearance is 147 acres, so it would require and EIA.
