The pen and the saw

Article Abstract:

Malaysia Prime Minister Mohamad Mahathir and Swiss rainforest activist Bruno Manser have been engaged in a series of written heated exchanges over Malaysia's logging activities. Both men have also met at the Earth Summit in Brazil to thresh out differences. At issue is the government-led logging activity in the forests of Sarawak which Manser so vigorously opposes on behalf of the indigenous tribes.
