BUKIT MERTAJAM: Some 2,000 villagers in Kampung Mengkuang Titi and Kampung Mengkuang here are at the mercy of mother nature following deforestation and illegal logging on a hill near the Mengkuang Dam.
All that is left of the land, which is the size of two football fields, is barren soil and dried branches. The affected area is just 100m away from the dam’s spillway.
