Teresa Kok and her Primary Industries Ministry are doing an abysmal job of responding to Europe's criticism.
There is very little of Western Europe that hasn't been touched by man. Europe has had a free pass in criticising us without their own record being examined. That is just hypocrisy. Turn the argument around. Getting riled up won't win converts from the environmental evangelicals. But you can embarrass them with facts and reason.
You make these virtues reflected in a morally acceptable mark-up price for the oil. And you have an international certification body audit the plantations regularly.I support freedom of speech. I also believe that our plantation practices are far from ethical. And they are doing this all in the name of economic development.
The whole world is screaming about the plight of the orangutan, but because Kok must make sure the industry stays profitable, we should ignore the rest of the world?
