The Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Nathaniel Blama, has accused some oil palm companies of being the worst violators of the country’s environmental laws and regulations. In a strongly-worded statement, the EPA boss named Sime Darby as one of the worst offenders for failing to uphold even a single environmental law of the country during its time of operation before that company folded and sold its operations to a different entity.
