GE13: MNS remains an apolitical, neutral society

SEREMBAN: The Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) is an apolitical, neutral society focusing on environmental conservation, its executive director Mohamed Shah Redza Hussein said.
He stressed that the society was strongly opposed to being used to further any party's political agenda.
He clarified that MNS president Prof Dr Maketab Mohamed had not challenged DAP's Bentong parliamentary candidate Wong Tack as reported yesterday.
“Our president's remarks were aimed at general best practices for oil palm cultivation, and is not a challenge to Wong,” he explained.
Wong came under the spotlight recently when a pro-Barisan Nasional blogger alleged that he owned tracts of land for oil palm cultivation in Sabah.
Wong responded by saying that his plantation used organic fertiliser instead of weedicide to prevent river pollution.
