Palm oil as a biofuel source : A disaster?

We are now in an era where our fossil fuel is getting lesser and lesser.A solution...biofuel...where we can recreated it through usage of biomass source or from vegetable of plant source.
As our country Malaysia,also have a part in contributing in these field through our palm oil source as one of a biofuel source alternative.
Palm oil was hailed as one of the biofuel source which could be a solution in creating an environment friendly biofuel energy.But not the story is different, we heard many complaints and research results(mainly came from the western country's researchers) that by using palm oil as one of the biofuel source,we are actually threatening the forest and environment ecology.
They said that we might threaten orang utan habitats and ecology system.Whereas if in Indonesia,the Sumatera tiger existent also might be in jeopardy.
Well I am not a researcher,well not yet at least.Neither nor a animal habitat expert as well. But I think...I think...those animal do not actually live in a palm tree estate.How come they think by using palm oil as a biofuel source we actually threatening those animal existent?
They should actually come to Malaysia or Indonesia to see the orang utan and the sumatera tiger by themselves.
If they are suggesting that we are bulldozing the forest to plant more palm tree...well that point I don't know.The government surely will wisely plan this kind of thing to ensure those animal will not be in danger.
What I can say is all this kind of negative point only suggesting that those critics were more kind of a jealousy point of view.This is because other western country also are producing biofuel source from other kind of vegetables or plant.For example in US and Brazil,they are using soybeans as a biofuel source.Whereas in France and Italy ,they are using sunflower oil.
I think Malaysia and Indonesia scientist and researchers must do more and more research deeply into palm oil potential as a biofuel source.Lets try convincing the world that we have a solution for the energy crisis matter.We can be a nation of energy and power in the future by monopolising this palm oil business.
Lets take this opportunity to progress our economy growth.Let others bit their teeth's when we show the world that palm oil do not only have potential,it also has a future.
I am surely to look more into this matter when I complete my PhD as I believe with palm oil development,Malaysia could be a better country.
