: The Orang Asli community in the Lojing Highlands, here, claimed that vegetable farming activities in the area have caused pollution to the Belatop River which is their main source of water supply.
One of the residents, Along Ronggeng, 59, said the water in the river was now dirty as it is contaminated with fertilizer waste and also due to the soil erosion, causing mud water to flow into the river. Kampung Pos Brooke village head Rian Bujang said the pollution of the river water had been a problem facing the Orang Asli community in the area for more than 20 years.
“The problem has been going on for over 20 or 30 years and is believed to be caused by farming and land clearing activities.” he said.
