Lojing - major disaster waiting to happen


Sick river: Sungai Belatop is one of the rivers in the Lojing Highlands which has been found to contain high levels of suspended solids as well as heavy minerals.

GUA MUSANG: Lojing is dying. Something must be done fast by the authorities to rehabilitate the highlands or it will face problems like Ringlet in Cameron Highlands.

The saddening fact is massive land clearing for farms in the Lojing Highlands was highlighted more than three years ago.
