Different take on state development


I REFER to the report “Colour of greed marring Perak’s natural heritage” (The Star, Feb 8; online at https://bit.ly/38rR2ni) about over-logging and forest-clearing work being done in an area belonging to the state development authority at the Kledang Saiong Hill.

The real fault here lies not with the current Pakatan Harapan state government because it was the previous administration that approved the project. The former government contributed significantly to the problem, hence the rakyat’s anger should rightfully be directed at it.
