KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 (Bernama) -- The government will investigate an allegation by Bukit Koman residents in Raub, Pahang, that a nearby gold mine is using the deadly poison cyanide in its operations, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk T. Murugiah said Tuesday.
He said officials from the Department of Environment and Pahang Health Department would be called for a meeting soon to discuss the matter, and the relevant ministers would be informed.
"If possible, we will call all the parties involved in the matter to meet in Kuantan, Pahang, on Thursday. We have to discuss the case because it involves people's health and I will definitely give it priority," he said after accepting a memorandum from the Bukit Koman Action Committee Against the Use of Cyanide, at the Parliament lobby here.
The memorandum, among other things, urges the government to set up a special body to investigate the matter.
It also calls for an immediate stop to the mining operation and the residents to be given immediate treatment. -- BERNAMA
See folks the key word here is "will investigate an allegation"... and here we go again, the circus begins with setting-up a special committee to investigate, then when we have almost lost more lives and are in our wits end, they will be setting-up another committee to investigate the findings of the first special committee and then call for the setting-up of another "independent" committee to investigate the findings of the second committee which had presented the findings of the first special committee and then the Deputy Minister will come out thumping his chest, exclaiming beamingly with the now ever famous (or infamous) line..."semua-nya okay" in the findings on the methods and poisons used in the mining operations in Bukit Koman !

Still a lot of hot air. His fart has more substance than his uttering.
Investigate? They will NEVER investigate. They will only try to COVER UP instead of INVESTIGATE.
The people in Bukit Koman tried everything they could. Wrote to authorities, contact MCA's MP Ng Yen Yen, rallies, filing for judicial review... but all fail. There were many cases where the villagers develop skin irritation and various other symptom. They complaint about the smell coming out from the facility. But when the AUTHORITIES visited Bukit Koman upon villager's request, they said they SMELL NOTHING and CASE CLOSE!
They do not oppose the idea of developing the town with gold ming industry. But the facilities that store large amount of cyanide is located less the 10m from residential area.
"Semuanya OK"... kononnya!
See, that's all BN is good for!
They will give you horseshit about "checking investigating etc" but no one, NO ONE, ever gets penalised!
At least for PR, they take the honorarable path and resign.
