GUA MUSANG: Over 2,000 residents of three Orang Asli settlements, Pos Belatim, Pos Bihai and Pos Gob, are living in fear as their villages have been encroached on by a wild elephant since last week.

One resident, Rahimi Dolah, 45, from Pos Belatim, said that his vegetable plots in Kampung Chachuh have been destroyed several times by the elephant, and he fears the animal will go to another village.

"I am a little worried about the safety of the people here because the elephant is still roaming in this area, and it is not impossible that it will move to other villages,” he said when met by reporters here Friday . "Last Monday, an elephant came to the village area to eat the tapioca planted near the house. We managed to drive it away, but during the night the animal came back into the garden.

Meanwhile, Angah Along, 60, expressed hope that the Department of Orang Asli Development and Wildlife and National Parks Department can take immediate action to address the matter.
