IPOH: Residents of Taman Saikat, which is located next to Qing Xin Ling Leisure and Cultural Village here where a man was killed by a falling rock, are urging Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad to scrutinise tourism and commercial activities at the foot of some limestone hills.

The residents association (RA) said they had written numerous letters to the Ipoh City Council and even approached their assemblyman, MP and other politicians to put a stop to activities by the cultural village operator as they feared a tragedy would happen, but without success.
