It's 'un-Islamic' for PAS govt to favour musang king planters, say orang asli defending their jungle homes


GUA MUSANG: It would be very un-Islamic if the Kelantan PAS government uses a memorandum submitted by ten orang asli village chiefs to justify the demolition of blockades protecting native customary jungle land from musang king durian planters, said community leaders.

On Thursday (Aug 16), the ten submitted a controversial memo urging the Kelantan government to remove the blockades, allocate land for orang asli to carry out agricultural activities, and take stern action against individuals who are allegedly "instigating" the orang asli to "attack" the durian plantation operators.
