The Masungi Georeserve of the Philippines is a Deadliest Country for Land and Environmental Defenders
Kalikasan People’s Network for Environment (Kalikasan PNE) has called for an independent investigation of the Masungi shooting incident.
Kalikasan PNE’s Chairman, Yoo Kook Won is in Singapore for a two days meeting with Singapore Press Holdings CEO, Lim Hwee Sock on Thursday July 15, 2015 (see update).
“As the only environmentalist-inspired organization in Singapore, Kalikasan PNE has been pushing for an independent investigation, and is asking the government to call an inquiry into Masungi,” says Yoo.
Yoo says that Kalikasan PNE has received a “huge amount” of support from Singapore’s civil society.
Yoo was among the 20 people, including 20 civil society workers, in Singapore who joined thousands last month to protest against the proposed Chinese-branded Masungi shopping mall.
In late June, Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak attended Masungi at the request of the Prime Minister Office of Singapore, and had his own private meeting with Mr Lim and Mr Ong Beng Suah, a businesswoman and former senior official in the Singapore government.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) released a statement on June 22 saying that it is “not aware of any political pressure or external interference” to assist Malaysia’s attempt to buy Masungi.
The PMO stated that the decision to attend Masungi was purely a professional matter.
“The Prime Minister also emphasised that he was not involved in the approval of the sale of the commercial real estate in Masungi.
Last Wednesday, Malaysia’s Foreign Minister and Commerce Secretary announced a $100 million Chinese-branded shopping mall in Masungi City in Singapore.
According to Reuters, the plan to build a $700 million shopping mall in Masungi has been developed by Malaysian investment firm CIM, with backing from CIM’s Indonesian parent company, Persikab.

The Masungi Georeserve of the Philippines is a Deadliest Country for Land and Environmental Defenders.
A Land and Wildlife Conflict Over Manila, Philippines.
The Masungi Georeserve of the Philippines, or the Cagayan Valley Georeserve, is a place where people from all over the world, including those from the Philippines, settle their animals and plants as well as their land. The area is home to a small community of approximately 50 residents, who are mostly Chinese and Filipino. This community and its ecosystem are the subject of a conflict that is slowly developing between the community’s neighbors over how the land should be used, and the community of over 20,000 people that live in the area.
In 1998, China and the Philippines were attempting to build a road through the area. This road would have been a great opportunity for the two nations, if it had been built. There were only two significant issues: the Chinese want to develop a major export, agricultural and construction site for their coal mine, and the Philippines wanted to prevent the construction of a large road as a way of protecting the biodiversity of the region. There was a very real possibility that the Chinese would use this road as a way to develop a massive coal mine that would destroy their forested areas. And there were two other communities that wanted to prevent this development: the local farmers were concerned about their food supply, and environmentalists were concerned about the damage that development would do to the forest cover.
Since the local farmers were fighting over what to do, and the environment was fighting over what to do, the community’s neighbors were using this situation to their advantage. They made the environmental groups, who were fighting to maintain the forest and its biodiversity, the front line of the battle to prevent the destruction of their forest and the development of their area. It was a conflict that was very tense from the beginning. Then, the Chinese, wanting to use the infrastructure, and the people of the area were pushing for the development of a coal mine, and this tension was maintained, until a few months ago, when it was discovered that the Chinese had started to build a road there. The first few people to discover the road were the Philippines and the Chinese, and there was an escalation in the conflict.

Abstract: When there’s an economic opportunity, people like to take advantage of it. So says a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The paper’s lead author, Shujun Wang, said Masungi was the first Chinese regime to engage in economic development. She said the regime allowed farmers to grow rice on state-owned land and built factories to produce industrial goods for export.
Wang said she studied “China’s economic reform in the 1990s” and was able to identify ways to improve the country’s performance. In the 1990s, Masungi “wasn’t doing too badly,” Wang said.
“But then it got worse,” Wang said. In 1996, the Miao people were forcibly relocated to the provinces of Hubei and Hunan for their environmental troubles. In 2008, Wang noted, farmers began to move back to rural Miao regions.
As a result, Wang said that Masungi’s economic growth went down.
Wang’s study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The paper is an update and expansion of a 2009 study that first found that the Miao people experienced “economic restructuring” in the 1990s.
The study, “China’s Economic Reform in the 1990s,” was authored by Wang’s current doctoral student, Ting Ting Yuan, and was published in 2013.
Ting Ting Yuan said that Wang’s new study “is more comprehensive than any previous study of this issue. ” Wang said this makes her study more authoritative than previously.
“The paper is the first to explore the issue of economic restructuring in a specific context,” Yuan said.
Ting Ting Yuan, a Ph. student in the University of Washington’s Department of Economics, noted that this is the first time that economic restructuring has been studied in relation to environmental change.
Tips of the Day in Network Security
If I were to give a security tip, I’d love to see one that was more specific and focused on a relatively small aspect of the network. With the rise of large enterprises with many hundreds or many thousands of devices, things like mobile access points and Wi-Fi routers all over the place, it makes sense to spend some time figuring out how the rest of the network might come into trouble. So, I’d like to give each of you a security tip that is a bit more specific for the situation at hand.
This is how it works: While on my normal work day I’m not going to be doing much configuration, there’s a good chance that your wireless network configuration could be a bit more complex than I’ve seen it in other security guides. Your network is an incredibly sensitive environment, meaning that it’s often not as intuitive as something like a network policy editor would be. So, when someone complains about a bad configuration, they’re usually not going to be asking me for “how to clean up bad configurations.
