Aloha,

 

Testimony of David Leonard

(formerly Imperium Renewables Hawaii, now HECO Consultant)

 

 

''In November 2007, I attended the Fifth Roundtable of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (''RT5'') with field trips to Sime Darby's upstream operations at its palm plantation estates  on Carey Island and downstream processing facilities near Kuala Lumpur (as discussed in more detail below, Sime Darby is the largest palm oil producer in the world).

 

Later in November and December 2007, I returned to Malaysia from Singapore and China to attend the Business Familiarization Program of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board in Kuala Lumpur and made a  second trip to Sime Darby's palm plantation estates on Carey Island (''the Familiarization Program''). ...

 

Representative Hermina Morita, Chair of  the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection, and Senator Ronald Menor, Chair of the Hawaii Senate  Committee on Energy and the Environment joined me for the Familiarization Program.''
