Health and Justice for Bukit Koman Residents
In solidarity with Bukit Koman’s residents…
Bukit Koman’s residents live together and breath in CYANIDE – a highly toxic chemical that is used in gold mining. This chemical binds to important enzyme to carry oxygen (into our cells) once it enters our blood stream. In the end, cells die as a result of “SUFFOCATION”. Long-term health effects including heart and brain damage. It has been used as chemical agent in Iraq-Iran war in 1980S.
Some other studies revealed the wide usage of cyanide in mining had caused considerable damage to the health of the people in Canada, Romania, Guyana, Kyrgyzstan and Papua New Guinea. Therefore Bukit Koman’s residents fought hard against the gold-mining project in Raub. Sadly, they now fail to stop the gold mining activity in Bukit Koman.
And here are some info regarding ISRWT – Pahang Selangor Inter State Raw Water Transfer Project
Inlet – at Karak in Pahang
Outlet – at Hulu Langat town in Selangor
Capacity – 2,200 million litres of raw water per day
Water catchment – at Kelau and Bentong intak – running through Selangor – Pahang border near Gunung Nuang.
Just imagine what would happen if any leakage of cyanide in Bukit Koman… they are not the only people affected.
Dear fellow Anak Bangsa Malaysia, lets show your support to those people in Bukit Koman. They deserve to breathe and live in a cyanide-free environment.

GOLD vs LIFE…
Apparently to some policy makers, our life is much more cheaper then the GOLD!!!
And the MP of Bukit Koman, YB Ng Yen Yen, together with the whole bunch of useless 不唱高调,没有成效的 MCA, just pretend they don’t see the misery of Bukit Koman’s people.
They say cyanide mining method is safe, then why not just ask Ng Yen Yen to STAY IN BUKIT KOMAN, drink, eat and breathe in Bukit Koman to prove that?
