Tanah Rata rep Chiong Yoke Kong says a dialogue will help both parties find a ‘win-win solution’.
Tanah Rata assemblyperson Chiong Yoke Kong has called on the BN-led Pahang government to stop evicting farmers in Cameron Highlands and offer them an adequate exit plan instead.In the first phase, 61 farms located upstream of Sungai Ichat were evicted as the state government cited the need to prevent the Kuala Terla water catchment area from being further polluted.
“Besides enforcement, the state authorities should offer the evicted farmers a way out,” Chiong said in a statement today. Chiong said the state government has failed to provide a satisfactory explanation over the eviction. He also pointed out the “confusing statements” about when temporary operating licences were accorded to the farmers.
“Why are they repeatedly making untrue claims against these farmers? Was the decision to take enforcement action done in a rush without through examination? Or is the aim to tarnish the farmers’ names so they do not obtain the rakyat’s sympathy?,” he said.has yet to verify the authenticity of the document.
