ALOR SETAR: An NGO vocal against the des­truc­­­­­­tion of natural re­­­sour­ces has raised concerns over logging in Bukit Keramat, near the Ahning Dam’s buffer zone.

“Logging within a 2km distance of the lake could kill and dry up its tributaries, and this could affect the dam,” said Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed (pic), the president of Pertubu­han Pelin­dung Khazanah Alam (Peka).
