PM to help resolve Temiar folk’s customary land issue


PUTRAJAYA: The Prime Minister gave his assurance to a group of Temiar orang asli that he will help resolve a problem associated with their customary land in Kelantan.

A total of 220 orang asli from 17 settlements in Gua Musang had come in five buses to seek Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s help to find a solution to the problem of their customary land being encroached by several companies and used for durian farms since Feb 18 – so much so that they were forced to erect barricades to keep away the intruders.
