Farmers lament financial losses sustained from jumbo intrusions

Gerik villagers and Gerik-Jeli East-West Highway users are accustomed to seeing elephants wandering along roadsides or venturing into villages and farms.

For villagers and farmers in Gerik, the presence of elephants often results in the destruction of crops and property.

The hardest hit are rubber plantation owners in Kampung Tanjung Rimbun I and II, who have suffered significant losses.
