Aid convoy to remote Orang Asli settlements in Kelantan forced to turn back


GUA MUSANG: More than 150 participants of the “Bergagoh Ma Senoi Bek” four-wheel drive (4WD) convoy programme to offer food aid to the most remote of Orang Asli settlements had to call off the mission after the route to the location became impassable.

Separated into two groups for the humanitarian journey to deliver food aid to the Orang Asli community at Pos Gob near here, the convoy in 41 four-wheel drive vehicles - under the corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) - was forced to come to a halt by treacherous terrain.
