Perak MB Ahmad Faizal Azumu says the issue has been sensationalised by certain NGOs that claim a logging company is bullying the Orang Asli community there.

PETALING JAYA: A blockade on state land at the Kampung Tasik Cunex Orang Asli settlement in Gerik, Perak, was demolished today by the Perak government.

The Orang Asli community in the village had previously claimed that state authorities had encroached onto their land to carry out logging. Faizal said investigations revealed that the allegation was baseless, and that the authorities had merely brought weapons for the purpose of safety. No threats were made against the villagers, he said.

“The state government has consistently ensured logging activities do not exceed the Annual Logging Ration, which is 7,744ha a year, as required by the National Land Council,” he said. He stated that on April 9, the Land and Mines Office sent and put up a notice for the blockade to be torn down in two weeks.
