there were three causes of flooding in a number of areas in Morowali.
First, he said, the mining industry was the main cause of the floods in
Morowali. Then second, the government neglected to see environmental safety. As

Morowali. Then second, the government neglected to see environmental safety. As
a result, permits are issued exceeding the carrying capacity of the
environment.
Furthermore, he said, flooding is the entrance for law enforcement
institutions to take action against mining companies and conduct an evaluation
so that the permits whose numbers are still in the hundreds of numbers in
Morowali Regency are only two or three permits left. “We urge the
government to immediately evaluate the mine seriously and openly,” he
said. So far, he said, the government is not serious in handling mines. It
seems that there are no regular reports to the public. “Any company
licenses are revoked and any new company is granted permission,” explained
Syahrudin.

Then, the indicator of flooding that almost occurred in all
sub-districts, he added, indicates that flooding was usually only in one place,
but now evenly distributed. This is a sign that there is an indication that
there is activity to destroy the forest upstream.

Furthermore, he said, the public such as NGOs were never directly
involved in the evaluation, so evaluation tools were not transparent.

He added, the government should not only pursue regional income (PAD)
without regard to environmental aspects. If the logic is to pursue PAD. He
said, just sell this area to investors. But if the goal is the welfare and
safety of people’s lives, an evaluation must be carried out.

Sulawesi BPBD, Bartholomeus Tandigala claimed to have sent two aid trucks. The
first truck contains tents, mattresses, blankets and raincoats. While the
second truck contains a rapid reaction team (TRC). BPBD did not send food aid

The current question is whether the mining activities in Morowali have
had a positive impact on the community around the mine, the general public in
the area. The positive impact could be called Jatam Sulteng, a matter of
environmental safety and improving community welfare due to mining activities.
Who benefits the most?
