Paper publish TOL increase in Cameron Highlands

A major landslide and flooding in Cameron Highlands have triggered questions on how the land is being protected.

In New Straits Times, 17.11.2014 it says there is an increase of licensed land between 2003 and 2012. Yet, these Temporary Occupation Licences or TOL are said to be frozen since 2001.

Its good if there is a balance between development, sustainability and tourism. Tasik Cini, Genting and all other land must be given focus on enforcement and relevant department audited frequently.

There really isn't much the public can do except watch at how much the government will expose in its findings. Excuses such as National Forestry Act 1984 and Land Conservation Act 1960 needing amendments does not explain the mismanagement of Malaysia's resources. its also a wierd and questionable action to station MACC officers at Cameron Highlands.
