SUKAU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Aman reiterated his commitment to environmental conservation when he engaged in a dialogue with the participants of StarYouth’s P2P Greeniz<\/i> programme at the Sukau Rainforest Lodge.<\/div>\n

“While we push for economic development, we also strive to create a balance in sustainable development as outlined in the Sabah Development Corridor blueprint,” he said.<\/p>\n

“”The state government remains committed to protecting the environment, and this has been translated into several stands that we have taken, including not allowing the construction of a coal-fired plant in Silam, Lahad Datu, because of the negative impact it will have on the environment.”<\/p>\n

The young P2P Greeniz participants learnt about the Sabah Government’s environment conservation efforts, and various aspects of eco-tourism, which is the main livelihood along the Kinabatangan River.<\/p>\n

Musa was confident that the participants would better understand the roles of different parties within this unique ecosystem now that they have had a glimpse of the lower Kinabatangan floodplain.<\/p>\n

Musa was accompanied by The Star’s<\/i> group chief editor Datuk Wong Chun Wai, who is equally committed to environment conservation and youth activities, on his visit to the lodge.<\/p>\n

Their projects will be presented at the The Star’s<\/i> Green Day celebration on June 8 at Kiara Park as part of their efforts to push their campaign to the public.<\/p>\n

P2P Greeniz is organised by StarYouth<\/i>, with the cooperation of Maybank. The event is hosted by the Sukau Rainforest Lodge<\/a>.<\/p>\n
