Thank you Faizah Jamal for speaking for the trees in Parliament! Nominated MP Ms Faizah Jamal raised concerns such as gathering of evidence, civil action and criminal prosecution. She also wondered whether the fines are high enough to act as a deterrent. Ms Faizah was concerned about the possibility that big businesses may pass on the cost of the fines to consumers in the form of higher prices of products. She also spoke about the role of consumers and how they could be empowered to choose products made from oil palm that is sustainably sourced. This will allow them to put pressure on errant companies.
