FALSE STATEMENT POSTERS

Thumbs up to Mr Ravindran Raman Kutty for being such a sport defending the Palm Oil Industry. In an article entitled " Time to Fire a Second Salvo to defend Palm Oil", he highlighted some of the false statement posters being plastered at public parks and zoos in western countries, including New Zealand and Australia. 

He was baffled to read about these anti-palm oil activist group tainting Malaysia's name at their zoos. Ravi added, the activists are still living in their past. They do not know that our developed jungles are like primary jungles where we even have orang utans.

I read the article and I didn't know there are some dumb Greenies in Australia and New Zealand! These were among the statements printed on those posters:-
"Shame on the Palm Oil Industry"
"Deadly Palm Oil in Your Shopping Trolley"
"The Killing has to Stop Now!"



These are claims merely to mislead the public!!! Are their claims supported by scientific facts? I don't think so!!!
Why should we be ashamed on the palm oil industry when we are feeding the world that is rapidly increasing. If we are able to feed the world, why would we kill the Orang Utans? It is our country's icon!!!

Orang Utans are also a living species that needs food and they do get their food from the oil palm plantations. Not forgetting the number of rehabilitation centres established in Malaysia to take good care of the Orang Utans. 


I hope these western NGOs will go do their homework first before throwing baseless claims to the developing countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia! They are well-funded and when they don't have anything to shout about, they keep repeating the same claim when it is not even an issue!!!
