BUKIT MERTAJAM: The developer of a 34ha land near the Mengkuang Dam here is dismayed that a neighbouring landowner trespassed into and illegally cleared trees on his land.Its consultant Adib Anas said state approval was being obtained for the mixed development site when they found out about the trespass.

The project involves, among others, 370 units of low-cost and medium-cost flats, 600 units of landed houses and a commercial area.“Not only did the landowner not obtain permission before building an access road to his land up on the hill, but he also excavated sand from the piece of land and used it to cover a large area on top of the marsh.
