The government said that the cooperation of illegal logging eradication with Malaysia has not yet progressed. So far the police and Indonesia's Forestry Police have played an active role in preventing the entrance of illegal logging to Malaysia. In the meantime, Malaysia tends to remain quiet.
Forestry Minister, Malem Sambat Kaban said that so far the government is still facing difficulties cooperating with Malaysia. “They appear to be ignorant of the origin of the logs from Indonesia that entered Malaysia,” said Kaban in Jakarta yesterday (27/12).
Now, said Kaban, Japan; China and England—forest product importing countries—have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indonesia that they will not receive any illegal logs.
The proof is that the logs that entered Malaysia obtained an official stamp from the customs officers in Malaysia. After being stamped, the illegal logs from Indonesia were automatically considered legal.
