According to Kuasa, 400ha of Bukit Kinta's forest reserve plantation project will see trees felled for logging activities.

IPOH: Two environmental non-governmental organisations (NGOs) say that they are not against development in Perak – but it should be done in a sustainable manner.

In different press statements on Monday (May 13), the Organisation for the Preservation of Natural Heritage Malaysia (Peka), and Kumpulan Aktivis Sahabat Alam (Kuasa) said the state should not blame NGOs for its inability to solve issues concerning the orang asli.
