Aid convoys make route to Orang Asli settlement impassable


GUA MUSANG: The impending arrival of the monsoon rain brings furrowed brows to the Orang Asli community at Pos Bihai because the logging trail, which is their only access to civilisation, is being damaged by four-wheel drive (4WD) do-gooders.Pos Bihai chief Alang Segan, 50, explains the paradox.

He said during wet weather, large 4WD convoys ended up churning up the only route they have to enter their village when these brought aid to Orang Asli posts in Pos Bihai, Pos Belatim and Pos Balar.
