MORE than 1,500 people, including two environmental groups and orang asli villagers, are pleading for the state government to withdraw the approval given for a logging concession on a piece of land within the Bintang Hijau Forest Reserve known as Compartment 66.
They group started its protest against the approval when the villagers first saw a sign put up at the forest area in Hulu Lawin, near Grik, two weeks ago while they were there to pick some herbs.
