CAMERON HIGHLANDS: It will be two years before the Orang Asli residents of Kampung Sungai Ruil can return to their settlement, after they were ordered to vacate following a landslide in October last year.

Deputy Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Rubiah Wang said in the meantime, all 89 residents from 17 families were placed at the Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) quarters.
