Representatives of villages in Gua Musang and Gerik lodge police reports. FMTNews OrangAsli
An example of a wooden blockade, erected by Orang Asli villagers in Gua Musang in 2018.
Amino Angah, a spokesman for the residents of Kampung Kelaik in Gua Musang, told FMT parts of the land had already been cleared to make a road.But he added that the blockade, made of wood and bamboo, might not hold. “Our water catchment area could have been affected too if we had allowed the land clearing for a few more days.”The report said the village had been “pawned away“ by the Kelantan government and the company concerned should not have dispatched bulldozers although it might have legitimate permits.
Centre for Orang Asli Concerns coordinator Colin Nicholas said no logging activities had begun in the area and the villagers were supposed to meet representatives of the company involved.
