Ancient cave under threat


IPOH: A herd of buffaloes, illegal digging works to search for crystals and graffiti, are ruining a limestone cave within the Kinta Valley Geopark near here.

Gua Matsurat, situated within the Ipoh township, near the famous Gunung Lang is rich in history but if people continue to dig further, the walls of the cave could collapse destroying a link to the past forever.
