Fight the EU on palm oil with facts, says MP

KUALA LUMPUR: Fight Western countries’ claims of Malaysian oil palm plantations causing deforestation with facts, an MP has told the Dewan Rakyat.

Datuk Willie Mongin (GPS - Puncak Borneo) said the European Union’s pontification to Malaysia about forest sustainability belied the fact that those countries had only about 38% forest cover in their areas.
