Kok slams anti-palm oil performance

PRIMARY Industries Minister Teresa Kok has hit out at an international school over a performance by its students purportedly linking palm oil plantations with the “disappearance” of the orang utan.

Describing the performance as “sowing hatred against palm oil plan­tations” among the students, Kok said the school associated the industry with deforestation and logging. “I urge the school to stop all actions that are sowing anti-palm oil sentiments among Malaysian students, just like what Europe is doing against our country.
