The department will certainly take appropriate action to rectify the situation, including repairing the steel mesh where necessary, said Pahang Forestry Department director Datuk Dr Mohd Hizamri Mohd Yasin.

KUANTAN: Nature lovers can be rest assured that there will be no new logging in the Persit forest reserve as what has been claimed on social media, says the Pahang Forestry Department.

Its director Datuk Dr Mohd Hizamri Mohd Yasin (pic) said there was an old logging permit for the area in Lipis. However, circumstances had changed in recent months that rendered it invalid.
