THE Shah Alam Community Forest (SACF) Society says it cannot accept the Selangor Forestry Department’s explanation on Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve’s excision process.

“If the excision process had been put on hold until this year, then the requirement for holding the public inquiry must still apply,” said the society.
