This is because bamboos and other forest products are their sources of livelihood, says minister Waythamoorthy.
The Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation is urged to use its discretion and allow the Orang Asli community in Kampung Songkok, Hulu Selangor, to bring out bamboos and other forest products from the nearby forests.
He said that in response to a news report yesterday that the Orang Asli community from Kampung Songkok had been complaining that part of the forests near their village had been seized, thereby preventing them from taking out forest products. He said Jakoa had made the application to gazette the 247-hectare of land in both areas in September 2017.
