This case refers to the incident in Broga, Semenyih. The controversial begins when Selangor Authority decided to move the lncinerator Project from Puchong to Broga, Semenyih. But, this project is being opposed by the society who lives in Broga. The society, as to profoundly oppose, has formed a committee, named Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, which is responsible to study in details of the draft Terms of Reference (TOR). And therefore, they have come out with several factors proving that there was a lack of transparency in the way the whole process of EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) study when it being conducted. Perunding Utama is the one who handles the EIA study. However, the government feels that the society is lack of information that the incinerator is a high technology logistic system, which prevents pollution and soil from the area. Both parties, then, negotiate in order to find solution while Broga's society is still hoping that the government will move the project to other place in Selangor. However, this case has been forwarded to SUHAKAM. The society has asked for second appraisal on the proposed project. How do they solve this conflict? Can they negotiate?
