3.3 Standard Used

Malaysian Criteria and Indicators for Forest Management Certification (Natural Forest) [MC&I (Natural Forest)] using the verifiers stipulated for Peninsular Malaysia.

3.4 Stakeholder Consultations

A stakeholder consultation was conducted in January 2019 for a period of one month. However, there were no comments received from the stakeholders.

3.5 Audit Process

The audit was conducted primarily to evaluate the level of continued compliance of the Pahang FMU’s current documentation and field practices in forest management with the detailed of the standard of performances (SOPs) listed in the MC&I (Natural Forest), using the verifiers stipulated for Peninsular Malaysia.

For each Indicator, the auditors had conducted either a documentation review, consultation with the relevant personnel of the FMU, local community or stakeholders or field audit or a combination of these methods. Depending on the compliance with the verifiers for a particular indicator, the auditors then decided on the degree of the FMU’s overall compliance with the indicator and decided whether or not to issue a major or minor NCR or an OFI which is defined as follows:

(i) a major NCR is a non-compliance with the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest);

(ii) a minor NCR is a deviation or a lapse in complying with the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest); and

of 27

(iii) an OFI is a situation where the auditor has noted an area of concern on the capability of the forest management system to achieve conformance to the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest) but without sufficient objective evidence to support a non-conformance.

The audit team had conducted an onsite consultation with the relevant stakeholders such as Department of Environmental (DOE), Wildlife Department (PERHILITAN), The Malay uniformed staffs were also members of the union, ‘Kesatuan Pegawai-Pegawai Hutan Melayu Semenanjung Malaysia’ (KPHMSM) (Peninsular Malaysia’s Malay Foresters Union), Pahang State and District JAKOA officers, villagers and leaders of Malay communities (Kg Batu 6/Sg Kolek, Kg Kuala Kenau, Kg FELCRA Sg Temau) and Orang Asli (namely the Orang Asli villages of Kg Sg Mas, Kg Sg Kiol, Kg Sematau, Kg Karang, Kg Kabang/Pos Betau, Kg Sg Gabong) during the audit. The coverage of this surveillance audit is as shown in the surveillance Audit Plan in Attachment 3.

The PSFD had sent a corrective action plan to the audit team to address the minor NCRs which the audit team had reviewed and accepted them. The audit team had prepared an interim recertification audit report and sent it to the PSFD for comment. A second draft recertification audit report which had incorporated the comments received from the PSFD was then prepared and sent to two peer reviewers for independent reviewing. A final recertification audit was prepared after incorporating the comments from peer reviewers.

4 SUMMARY OF AUDIT FINDINGS

Based on the findings of this recertification audit, it was found that the PSFD had continued to manage the Pahang FMU in compliance with most of the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest). This recertification had resulted in the issuance of 5 (five) minor NCRs and 2 (one) OFIs. The details on the NCRs/OFIs raised are shown in Attachment 4.

The audit team had reviewed and accepted the PSFD’s proposed corrective actions to address the 5 (five) minor NCRs. However, these corrective actions shall be verified by the audit team during the next audit.

The audit team had also verified on the corrective actions taken by the PSFD to address the 4 (four) Minor NCRs and 1 (1) OFIs which were raised during the previous audit. The responses made by the audit team leader on these corrective actions and on the final status of the NCRs and OFIs are as in Attachment 5.

On indigenous peoples’ rights, there were mechanisms in place to resolve disputes over tenure and use rights through meetings held with the Department of Orang Asli Development or Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA). It was observed that there was no recorded civil court case pertaining to legal or customary tenure or use rights filed against the PSFD. With regard to Criterion 6.10, at the time of this Recertification Audit (2019), the PRF converted to forest plantation and other uses in Pahang FMU was at 46,141.65 ha,about 3.06% of total PRF. The conversion rate of the PRF within the FMU complied with the 2.5% (first 3 years), 1.5% (subsequent 2 years) and 1% (subsequent years) “limited portion” guideline in Indicator 6.10.1. As the is no major NCR raised during this recertification audit, the audit team had therefore recommended that the Certificate for Forest Management be maintained.

The summary on the findings of the recertification audit on the Pahang FMU against the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest) are as follows:

Principle Strengths Weaknesses

Principle 1 Compliance With Laws and Principles

All relevant national and local laws and regulations and policies related to forest management were up-dated. These documents were also made available at the District Forest Offices. Senior Forest Officers of PSFD had demonstrated good understanding and awareness of all respective applicable federal, state and local laws, as well as the regulatory framework for forest management. They were also found to be aware of all the binding international agreements. There were detailed records of violations of the National Forestry Act by logging contractors and the public maintained in the District Forestry Offices and in the Head Office in Kuantan. The current list and documents pertaining to all legally prescribed fees, royalties, taxes, and other charges were presented during the audit. Identification of conflicts between existing laws, regulations and Principles and Criteria of the MC&I had been discussed in meetings organized by the he Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia Head Quarters in Kuala Lumpur. Encroachment, illegal harvesting, hunting, settlement, and other unauthorised activities in the certified PRFs area had been controlled by the PSFD.

There was no negative finding

Principle 2 Tenure and Use Rights and Responsibilities

Permanent Reserve Forest gazettement documents were available in the main PSFD office. Forest managers had continued to recognise, respect and collaborate with holders of duly recognised legal or customary tenure or use rights of the of orang asli.The orang asli freely access the forest and collect forest resources for home consumption but not for commercial purposes. There were mechanisms available for resolving disputes. In addition, the PSFD had established a joint consultative committee with the Department of Orang Asli Development or Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA).


Principle 3 Indigenous People’s Rights

The customary use rights of the Orang Asli within the PRF were respected in forest management planning and implementation in accordance to the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954. There was no evidence of significant conflict or


of 27


grievance as verified through interviews with JAKOA and Orang Asli villagers during the Audit. Appropriate procedures for identification and protection of sites of special cultural, ecological, economic or religious significance to the Orang Asli had been established.

Principle 4 Community Relations and Workers’ Rights

There is a central training centre at Pusat Latihan Perhutanan Pahang at Belimbing with facilities for the training programs of the FMU. Training was planned and conducted annually according to set programme for both Forest Department and Companies officers and staff. There were records to confirm that people in communities living within, or adjacent to, the FMU were given preference for employment and contract works. All staff of the PSFD enjoyed the full benefits of medical care, SOCSO and the Employee Provident Fund. A Safety and Health Officer (SHO) has been officially appointed by the Pahang State Director of Forestry. A Safety and Health Committee (Jawatankuasa ‘Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerja-Pekerja’) has been established with members appointed comprising of all relevant staff and officers of the PSFD. The “Kesatuan Pegawai-Pegawai Hutan Melayu Semenanjung Malaysia” (Association of Uniformed Staff) PSFD Branch was responsible for protecting the welfare of uniformed workers

The social impact assessment form (Form E) has no section for DFO’s comments and as such the DFO is not able to comment on the results of the evaluation.Therefore an OFI for indicator 4.4.1 was raised.

During social impact assessment (Form E – Before and During) carried out at licence CL-01-13-18 KP Ulu Jelai PRF Compt 260, 262, 263, the Chairman and a community representative of Kg Kuala Koyan, Kuala Lipis raised some issues in the social impact assessment. However, no evidence that actions were taken to resolve issues raised by respondents in the social impact assessment.Therefore a Minor NCR ZE01/2019 for Indicator 4.4.2 was raised.

Principle 5 Benefits From the Forest

Investments and reinvestments were made by PSFD in forest management, including aspects of forest administration, research, human resource development, protection, economy, conservation, environment and social. Timber was the main product being extracted from the forest in the FMU. All harvesting had been conducted through the application of Guidelines for Reduced Impact Logging in Peninsular Malaysia and followed by post harvesting practices. The PSFD had promoted the development of non-timber forest resources such as nibong, rattan, bamboo. Licenses were given to orang asli for the removal of rattan and bamboo. Guidelines and/or procedures were implemented to identify and demarcate sensitive areas for the protection of soil and water, watercourses and

wetlands. Harvesting rates in Pahang FMU were determined by the annual allowable cut (AAC) set in the FMP and in the 11th Malaysia Plan for the amount 13,687 ha a year or a total of 68,435 ha over the five year duration in the plan (2016-2020).

01-53-18 (KP) found one felled Pelong tree was without tree tag attached to the logs.

Therefore, Minor NCR

KN01/2019 for Indicator 5.3.1 was raised.

Principle 6 Environmental Impact

The Macro Environmental Impact Assessment (MEIA) prepared by the Pahang State Forestry Department for the FMU was presented during the Audit. There was continuous cooperation between forest managers, conservation organizations and regulatory authorities on implementing conservation and management activities. Hunting and collecting activities had been strictly controlled within the FMU. Harvesting was designed in the FMU taking into consideration the need for the conservation of biological corridors and buffer zones for features of special biological interest for wildlife. Pahang FMU has in total 20 VJRs that covered a total of 2,922.09 ha. VJR represents undisturbed natural forests ecosystems. Harvesting operations in the FMU were conducted based on the requirements of the Guidelines for Reduced Impact Logging in Peninsular Malaysia 2003 and the Forest Road Guidelines 2010 (Amended 2013) to reduce soil compaction. PSFD had established standard operating procedures on waste disposal and re-cycling of liquid and solid non-organic wastes and records of disposal of containers, liquid and solid non-organic wastes, including fuel and oil. No HCVF areas were converted to other forest land use.

During the inspection of License CL-01-19-18 (KP), Compartment 269, Hulu Jelai PRF, near LP 52/1 matau 11, the stream buffer (10m wide) was marked in the harvesting map, however, it was not demarcated at the site. Therefore, a Minor NCR MRS01/2019 for indicator 6.5.4 was raised.

The licensee for plantation area (TLC and rubber) has submitted the monitoring report as per EIA requirements to DOE. However, the record was not circulated to the FMU after submission to DOE. Therefore, an OFI for Indicator 6.10.1 was raised.

Principle 7 Management Plan

The Forest Management Plan (FMP) 2016 - 2025 was made available at Bukit Sekilau Office in Kuantan, Pahang. It had incorporated all the items listed from a) to i) in Criterion 7.1).PSFD has maintained its harvesting system with additional of reduce impact logging (RIL) system as stated in the FMP. PSFD has adequate training facilities for staff and Forest Contractor’s staff in the main campus at PLPP Belimbing in Pahang State. Every staff of the department undergoes a series of courses throughout their career and passing

1. The FMU did not conduct training on scheduled waste management to scheduled waste operator.

2. Annual training programme for

year 2019 did not cover topic on scheduled waste management / ‘SOP Bagi Pelupusan Sisa Pepejal dan Cecair Bukan Organik Berdasarkan Keperluan Kualiti Alam Sekitar’.

Therefore, Minor NCR

some of these are made mandatory to their promotion and advancement. A summary of the primary elements of the Forest Management Plan 2016-2025 was updated in the Pahang Forestry Department official website http://forestry.pahang.gov.my/download/MC&I/RINGKASAN-EKSEKUTIF.pdf

MRS03/2019 for Indicator 7.3.2 was raised

Principle 8 Monitoring and Assessment

The PSFD had continued to use the monitoring forms A – D, [A: Infrastructure, B: Forest Harvesting, C: Environment, D: Output] for assessing social, ecological, environmental and economic impacts of forest operations. The PSFD management has appropriately included all relevant information needed to monitor items listed in (a) to (e) of Criterion 8.2. Growth plots which had been established in the FMU were enumerated on a regular basis by the staff from the Forestry Department Headquarters Peninsular Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur with the assistance of PSFD. All logs transported out of the forest in the FMU will be issued with a delivery order prepared by the logging contractor where the tree number, species, log production number, log length, diameter, and net volume are documented. The Removal Pass is a controlled legal document, the issuance of which is assigned only to a designated Forester. The logs are only allowed to be transported out of the FMU when a Removal Pass has been issued. The PSFD has incorporated the results from monitoring activities on HCVFs and scientific research into the Forest Management Plan 2016-2025. A comprehensive write-up including the summary of the finding for growth plot from 1992-2007 (15 years) based on the data collected and could be found in this link http://forestry.pahang.gov.my/download/analysis_of_growth.pdf

1. During the inspection of the records for license CL-01-19-18 (KP), Compartment 269, Hulu Jelai PRF, it was observed that logs that were transported out as written in the Removal Passes CKPB 482188 (items species, log diameters and lengths) were not documented as “removed logs” in the Tree Tagging Book.

2. Visit to Compt 269, Ulu Jelai PRF (CL-01-19-18 (KP) found a felled Kedondong tree (OV6219/T, 64cm) was not recorded in the Tree Tagging Book.

Therefore Minor NCR MRS02/2019 on Indicator 8.3.1 was raised

Principle 9 Maintenance of High Conservation Values

PSFD had established and continues to maintain the 5 HCVF sites as follows:

• Rafflesia plot at Compartment 11, Gunong Benom Forest Reserve,

• Meranti Mengkai (Shorea Bentongensis) at Compartment 13, 14 & 59, Lentang Forest Reserve,

• Padang Tujuh Kerangas ecosystem at the Endau-Rompin State Park

Indicator 4.4.1

OFI Jerantut District Forestry Office used two versions of Form E to assess social impact of forest operations – one version is used to assess impact prior to harvesting and another version for assessing impact during and after harvest [See CJ-10-32-16(KP) license file]. In addition, one version of Form E did not have a component on the socio-cultural. As a consequence, the assessment that used this version of Form E would not be able to get data on the potential and actual socio-cultural impact of forest operations. A more uniform assessment of social impact would be possible if PSFD were to use only one version of Form E with all the necessary components for assessing social impact to be used by all the districts.

JPN Pahang mengambil maklum perkara berkaitan borang E iaitu Penilaian impak sosial dan akan mengadakan perbincangan bagi semua daerah bagi menyelaraskan borang yang digunapakai sedia ada agar ianya selaras bagi setiap daerah dengan menggunakan satu versi sahaja.

A standardized Form E for social impact assessment of forestry operations will be developed and used in all District Forest Department in PSFD Status: Closed
