Between Banana Leaf and a Blockade

The Orang Asli community in Gua Musang first set up the blockade in September to protest the logging at the Balah forest reserve, which is believed to be their ancestral land. Calling it an intimidation and harassment, Komas said that the Orang Asli tried to discuss the matter with the Kelantan government but the efforts were to no avail.

After about 2 months setting up the blockade, the Orang Asli protesters were said to have been served a notice on 6 November by the state government, which asked for them to remove the blockade by 20 November. The protesters did not respond to the notice and stood their ground.

Despite the warning from the forestry officials, the Orang Asli protesters refused to budge, which lead to the arrest of 41 activists who were detained at the Gua Musang district police headquarters.

This is taken directly 2 years ago as Kelantan got hit by the biggest flood. All due to logging....This is in Kuala Krai, i didnt go to the Gua Musang mission.
