BELUM: Claims of child deaths among orang asli in the Royal Belum State Park, uncovered in a documentary by R.AGE, triggered an investigation involving the state health department, Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa) and Temengor assemblyman Salbiah Mohamed.

A task force headed by state health committee chairman Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon went on a fact-finding mission yesterday in Sungai Kejar where the deaths were reported.
