Groups oppose plans for Penang Hill

Malaysian Nature Society Penang branch adviser Kanda Kumar said when a developer had plans for Penang Hill in the 1980s, members had gotten a grant and camped there for a week to document its flora and fauna to counter the Envi­ronmental Impact Assessment report.
