Brief Introduction
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=90464979582&ref=nf

Raub(in Malaysia) is a peaceful town blessed with nature's wealth. Due to recent emergence of Cyanide, the valley has deeply submerged into a terrifying state. Raub is the place where we live and grow up. Our homes and lives are confined here in this little valley. There is no reason for us to move to other places. Mining processing facilities are located just two meters away from residential area. Just across the street to be exact and why is the Pahang Mineral and Geoscience Department still approving the use of this lethal chemical, Cyanide, to extract the gold?

Bukit Koman is a small and old village, located inside Raub county, consisting of approximately four hundred families with a total of close to 3000 residents. It is situated right in the middle of the gold mining area and is indeed a 'gold plated’ village.

力抗山埃背水一战

位于马来西亚彭亨劳勿县内的武吉公满（Bukit Koman）新村位处金矿区，名副其实“遍地黄金”；去年杪开始，这个富裕安谧、享福百年的华人新村，却因“山埃”蓄势入侵，陷入了极度的惶恐中。

山埃（氰化物，cyanide，化学式CN）是一种剧毒物质，会阻止人体细胞吸收氧气，人类吸入高浓度氰化钠气体或吞食致死剂量的氰化钠，几乎可以立即停止呼吸而死亡。由于山埃可与97%的金结合，增高炼金产量；因此自1960年以来，金矿商便大量使用这种有害化学物质采金。

去年8月21日，伦敦上市公司半岛金矿有限公司（Peninsular Gold Limited）独资拥有的劳勿澳洲金矿私人有限公司（Raub Australian Gold Mining Sdn Bhd）在村民毫不知情的情况下，成功取得彭亨州矿物及地质科学局（Jabatan Mineral dan Geosains Pahang）的白纸黑字批准，在武吉公满新村的金矿区以山埃采金。据悉。目前该公司已在这个紧挨武吉公满新村的金矿区建设采金基建。

矿场离住家仅二公尺远
武吉公满新村因公满山（Bukit Koman）得名，是一个以金矿业发迹的百年老村，位于劳勿县内。该村约有四百户人家、人口约三千人。

该区金矿在1898年至1963年开采期间，一般以传统的地下采矿法和“金沙沟”方式采金；对村民而言，“山埃”是个陌生的化学名词。反对山埃委员会副主席黄金雄（左图）透露，金矿公司在去年10月1日于当地一家餐厅与该村村委聚餐会面时，展示州政府发出的山埃采金批准信，并宣称该采金法不会影响村民的健康。

过去全球曾经发生多宗山埃泄漏意外，导致河流生态环境遭受严重破坏。其中1992年在美国卡洛拉多（Colorado）西南部发生的一宗氰化钠泄漏事件，导致Alamosa河27公里的鱼类和其它河流生物全部死亡，净化河流的成本高达一亿五千万美元。目前土耳其等国已经立法禁止山埃采金。
