Orang Asli in dire need of food supplies


IPOH: Some 5,000 Orang Asli of Kampung Senangit in Pos Kemar, Grik, are without food supplies since the implementation of the movement control order (MCO).

Their predicament worsened when their plants, including tapioca, were destroyed by a herd of wild elephants that entered the village a few days before the MCO started.
