MNS fully behind FRIM against plan


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s image will suffer internationally if a proposal to build an ele­vated highway within the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) area materialises, Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) president Prof Dr Maketab Mohamad said.

He strongly condemned the proposed highway across FRIM, which is the largest and oldest­ man-made tropical forest in the world. He called on the developers to find an alternative route that would not threaten FRIM’s grounds.
