KUALA LUMPUR: Despite being unsuitable to be planted in forests, there are about 5,000 Musang King durian trees planted in a 52ha plantation on Gunung Inas, Kedah, the Dewan Rakyat was told.
Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan also said the Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department had ordered an order to halt all immediate plantation of Musang King durians in 2020, when the Kedah government issued an approval in December 2019.
"JPSM sees this as a violation of terms, because the Musang King is not a forest plantation species and despite that, there are 5,000 trees planted in an area of 52ha in Gunung Inas," Takiyuddin said during Minister Question Time in Parliament on Tuesday morning. Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim then interjected when he recounted the recent Baling floods earlier July, and asked whether the three water ponds near a durian plantation in Gunung Inas had caused the tragedy.
