KUANTAN: The issuance of new temporary occupation licence (TOL) for Cameron Highlands has been frozen since 2008, said Pahang Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.

He said the strict measure was taken to limit land exploration, even legal ones, for the purpose of agriculture by vegetable and fruit farmers.
