Forest being cleared illegally by developer to build resort, locals claimed

Some locals in Kampung Geruntum, Gopeng claimed that the hilly terrain was being cleared to make way for a resort project.

ONCE it was a pristine site for white-water rafting enthusiasts to enjoy the clean and superb lush green forest view at Kampung Geruntum in Gopeng.

Now, charred ground and uprooted trees greet tourists at the area where a well-known white-water rafting site was located, riling up nature lovers and locals there.
