Baling folk blame huge durian project


ALOR SETAR: Tahak Lahamat, 80, has a small durian orchard at the foot of the Gunung Inas mountain in Baling near here. But now, he hates durian cultivation.

He is among many villagers in Baling who are blaming a mammoth 1,200ha durian plantation on top of the mountain for the devastating flood that destroyed their homes, cars and pretty much everything they owned on Monday.
