MIRI: There will be no end to timber blockades in Sarawak if the authorities continue to certify timber logs extracted from forests mired in unresolved land disputes. 

Stating this, environment-protection group Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) appealed to the Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC) to stop certifying such timber logs immediately.
