Orchard owners and palm oil farmers in Bekok, Johor, are complaining that their crops are being destroyed by elephants.

| Bekok orchard owners and palm oil farmers have complained that their crops are being damaged and destroyed by wild elephants, wild boars and monkeys which badly affects their income.

They said that chasing away the elephants does not solve the problem because the animals come back the next day to eat more fruits. They have requested that the elephants be translocated to sanctuaries or far away into the forest. The pachyderm herds are also making more frequent visits to oil palm and banana plantations. This is causing large financial losses to the local farmers and they have requested these elephants to be relocated to other elephant sanctuaries.
