Indigenous tribe in Kuang fears new quarry will lead to pollution, floods

Orang Asli Roha pointed at the tall durian trees on her farm and said she was thankful that her ancestors didn't cut them down and replace them with oil palms.

She recalled how villagers of Kampung Orang Asli Hulu Kuang turned to planting oil palms because it is lucrative.

But Roha's grandfather prohibited the family from doing so, because "our grandchildren will like to eat durian, so we have to keep it"...
