GERIK:The Perak government suffered a loss of millions of ringgit due to the group of farmers in Kanthan, Tambun who engaged in illegal agricultural activities at the Silver Valley Technology Park (SVTP) project site belonging to the Perak State Development Corporation (PKNPk).
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad (pic) said the loss was due to the farmers' actions of not paying premiums and agricultural land taxes as well as temporary occupation licence (TOL) since they have been engaged in illegal agricultural activities for the past 11 years.
