MACHANG: The Kelantan Forestry Department denies that image of traces of forest logging activities recorded by a drone that went viral on Monday 9Jan 17) were near the tiger habitat or the Orang Asli village in Pos Bihai, Gua Musang.

Kelantan Forestry director Abdul Khalim Abu Samah said the image taken using a drone showed the distance was close but instead it was between 5km to 6km from the location of the recent tiger attack.

"Checks revealed that the location of the tiger attack, Pos Bihai, is an Orang Asli settlement area outside the Perias Permanent Forest Reserve," he told reporters after attending the Bukit Bakar Eco-Forest Park opening ceremony officiated by the Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob here Monday.
