Perak govt to probe whether land clearing caused floods

IPOH: The Perak state government will carry out an investigation following claims that land-clearing activities at a durian orchard in Kampung Pasir, Ulu Slim, may have caused flash floods in the area, says Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.

The Perak Mentri Besar said the investigation would focus on whether the operator of the 43ha orchard had the necessary planning permission from the Town and Country Planning Department, and complied with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
