What a BAD legislation; a cartoon_4 river management#1

As I promised before, I have translated a cartoon criticizing "4 River Management" project. I have finished the 1st piece of 3, and will complete ASAP.

This cartoon is one of the relayed 14 subscriptions to the public by famous cartoonists in S.Korea.

These stories are related BAD Legislation by Lee M.B. government since its inauguration last year. Lots of the bills are going to be BAD LAWS to check human rights to expression in Korea. And they will threaten security and freedom of citizens; to repress the right of congregation, to open up the market of drinking water, to stricken the right of labor, to define the right of expression on-and off-line as terror, to lower the entrance to media business and finance for Jaebeol (a group of corporations owned by A family!), to open up medical service, to curtail human rights committee and enhance national security law. Some of these bad legislation occurred by the candle light demonstration and campaigns to stop canal project.

Please feel free to distribute this cartoon to your friends!
And if you have something to say and show to stop unbeneficial "4 River Management" and canal projects, send me to simplezi21@gmail.com and wetland@kfem.or.kr.

REAL stories of RIVER management in KOREA_intro

Dear readers,

S.Korea is going to DREDGE and DEVELOP 4 big rivers in Korea under the title of "Reviving 4 Rivers" project, as Korean Grand Canal has been cornered with the objection of citizens.

Such an annoucement has been repeated several times by Lee M.B.(president) and his people to launch countrywide construction work in- and along-the river.

• Kyeongbu Canal Project
• Korea Grand Canal Project
• 4 River Management Project
• Connecting Waterway and Riverbasin Management in 4 Rivers Project
• Reviving 4 Rivers
• Reviving 4 Rivers and Riverbasin Management Project

Policies of Lee M.B. government and the ruling party are so called conservative ones, but this time they went too far away to revive natural condition of rivers. They even decorated these projects with "GREEN New Deal".

However one thing is clear, Koreans have already poured into millions and billions dollars to water management in 4 big rivers. And 97% of rivers have already got physical treatment to control flood, pollution and watershortage.

Lee M.B. has designated every positon in the cabinet with ONE VOICE of PRO-DEVELOPMENTALIST, and they say in formal- and informal places all canals and/or construction irregardless of their ministry.

No other president has showed his career so prominetly as he. Aa CEO from construction Jaebul*. other social problems, such as labor, human right, health, education, etc.

This is S.KOREA TODAY and I will let you know more KOREAN TRUTH with river management plans, paper stories, episodes, and the like.

You won't be disappointed!
If you're pleased at my stories, forward it to your friends and make friends known where Korea goes.

Tzan
