Why am I not surprised?

It is reported in the star that the Bakun dam developers are planning to burn an area roughly the size of Singapore (!!) to clear that area from debris before they flood the reservoir.

It is mentioned that there is no burning permit (yes... open burning is still legal in Sarawak as long as you get the permit) applied YET for this. I do not think anyone in the right frame of mind would apply, let alone approve of a permit to burn an area the size of Singapore.... thats just MADNESS.

Where are the tree huggers, environmentalists, greenpeace et etc....
