Baru Gold Corp V.BARU

panicky act of desperation at last second or savage act?

[goldnerd]

Ouch, is Baru Gold going crazy? Obviously in an either intended affront against the Indonesian government or a panicky act of desperation at the last second they tried to force the drill rig parked at Pananaru harbor since June to be transported to the mining site. However, on the way the transporters hit some Independence Day decoration and damaged an electric cable which was meant for Independence Celebration. Embarassing enough, the sacred red and white Indonesian flag was torn to the ground into the dirt, and a picture of the regent of Sangihe who had written to PT. TMS the day before, was torn. Obviously the locals regarded this as a savage act of sacrilege. Things got out of hand as police didn't escort the transport due to a ruling by the Regent of Sangihe who had asked the company in her previous day's official letter to temporarily stop all activities until a final court decision will be reached. The wind screen of one truck got smashed, the drivers ran away. As mass rage endangered to destroy the trucks, SSI took over to secure the trucks. At least that is how they put in on SSI's facebook page noMiningonSangihe
It doesn't look good, guys...

Why asking instead of ordering? Because they have no right to do it. The CoW is still valid.
