Strong objections to sturgeon farming project


KUANTAN: Right from the get-go, the sturgeon farming project in Kuala Tahan received strong objections when word came in 2013 that it would be built on the fringe of Taman Negara.

The joint-venture project, between Felda Investment Corpo­ration and MMC Hassed Co Ltd of South Korea, was opposed by local tourism operators and environmental groups, who feared there would be a severe impact on the ecosystem and the eco-tourism value of the area.
