Public hearing:


1. Public comments are not taken into account at the early stage, which often leads to conflict at the later stage of project clearance.

2. A number of projects with significant environmental and social impacts have been excluded from the mandatory public hearing process.

3. The documents which the public are entitled to are seldom available on time.


4. The data collectors do not pay respect to the indigenous knowledge of local people.
