IN the past month, the media has highlighted a string of land-clearing activities – the latest being at a hillslope near the Teluk Bahang dam.

Massive clearing along the Penang Hill range reported by The Star two weeks ago was followed by a statement from the state government that a Penang Hill Land Working Committee had been set up.
