Estate workers of Jaya Acha oil palm estate in Labis, Johor, held a peaceful demonstration against their employers after they were banned from rearing animals.

The estate management had given the workers a month’s grace period for them to move their 333 cattle elsewhere, failing which the cows will be confiscated, Makkal Osai reported.
