This is saddening<br>\nindeed!<\/p>\n<p>The Mangrove Foundation has protested against Singapore's<br>\nillegal buying of teki wood, collected by the poor people in the<br>\nBengkalis regency. Singapore uses the teki wood (mangrove stems,<br>\nabout 10 cm in diameter) as foundation poles for Singapore's<br>\nbuilding development.<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine the destruction this is causing to the<br>\nmangrove forest in Riau.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore, as payment, gives used goods such as clothes,<br>\nsecond-hand TV sets, and other household goods. In short it is<br>\nall rubbish. These poor people have no bargaining power and<br>\naccept what is regarded, in Singapore, as garbage.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore remains unmoved by our protests and has not shown<br>\nthe least concern over the damage to Indonesia's environment.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Singapore feels the impact of the Indonesian<br>\nenvironmental damage, caused by the forest fires in Kalimantan,<br>\nits getting all excited about the destruction. This selfish<br>\nattitude of Singapore saddens us.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we would like to suggest that the Indonesian<br>\ngovernment establish a regional cooperation for preserving the<br>\nenvironment, dealing not only with forest fires but also<br>\nprotecting the mangrove forest from illegal felling.<\/p>\n<p>LISMAN SUMARDJANI<\/p>\n<p>Mangrove Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
