Shii urged Prime Minister Fukuda Yasuo to fundamentally change the government economic policy serving large corporations into one supporting the household economy and livelihoods of the public.
Fukuda's proposal is based on the Japanese government approach that counts on the industrial sector's voluntary efforts. Fukuda is attempting to have this method adopted as a global method.
"The Japanese government is also pressed to review its own environmental impact assessment study. The government must immediately stop its preliminary survey for construction of the new U.S. base," said the secretary general of the Save the Dugong Foundation.
