Minister has photographic evidence but cannot talk too much about it
CAMERON HIGHLANDS: Natural Resources and Environment Minister G. Palanivel said he knows there is a mastermind behind the illegal land-clearing in Cameron Highlands which led to the flash flood and landslides there.
While admitting the persons existence, coupled with photographic evidence, the Cameron Highlands MP said he cannot say much or disclose more about the matter.
Earlier, maybe about 20 years ago, Cameron Highlands was a preserved area, there was no illegal land-clearing. The farmers did good farming, exporting to Singapore and other countries up to RM2 billion in value.
Now, however, something is happening, I am still unable to control them, he told reporters here today.
Earlier, he attended the Special Meeting on Flash Floods and Landslides in Cameron Highlands which was chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin at the Cameron Highlands District and Land Office here.
Palanivel said the Vegetable Farmers Association from the Chinese community here had also complained to him about certain parties which were destroying the hills.
They always complain to me that the hill is being disturbed, the only thing is, something is behind something, which I cannot reveal too much. I have a few photographs, but I cannot talk too much about it. They are doing some illegal work, this happened (over) the last 10, five years, he said.
Meanwhile, Palanivel said he would send a letter to the Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Ahmad Shah to request for an audience to clarify the situation in Cameron Highlands.
I will send him (Sultan of Pahang) a letter to request for an audience. He was not angry with me. I was here last Tuesday, then in Paris on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Often, I am here, he added.

Palanivel: A mastermind behind illegal land-clearing
Minister must explain why he is unable to say anything on illegal land-clearing in Cameron Highlands.
KUALA LUMPUR: Natural Resources and Environment Minister G Palanivel must break his silence and name the mastermind behind the illegal land-clearing in Cameron Highlands if it is true that he has the information, Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo said today.
Palanivel was reported by Bernama to have said that he knows of their existence and has photographic evidence but still unable to control them.
The minister had also said he could not reveal too much.
I demand that Palanivel speak up. First, he must state if the Bernama report is correct. Then if it is, explain why he is unable to say anything on this matter, said Gobind.
People have suffered great losses. Why is he frightened? Who or what is he afraid of? What could be more important now other than assisting the victims if he has the information and ensuring this doesnt happen again? he asked.
Gobind said as a minister and peoples representative he was duty-bound to speak up on the issue.
He said if he could not speak up, then he should resign both as minister and MP of Cameron Highlands.
The Deputy Prime Minister who chaired the special meeting on floods and landslides in Cameron Highlands yesterday should respond to the revelation by Palanivel, he said.

40,000ha in Sabah illegally cleared
KOTA KINABALU: The State is not without its share of rampant illegal land clearing activities, the likes of which caused the tragedy in Cameron Highlands in the peninsula, recently.
However, in its attempt to arrest the problem, certain quarters have been fond of painting a negative picture of the authorities, particularly the Forestry Department, instead of commending them for implementing the law.
The Government, through the Forestry Department, had over the past eight years recovered about 40,000 hectares within forest reserves that had been illegally cultivated with oil palm trees.
Forestry Director Datuk Sam Manan said the offenders, who are local "towkays", have been charged in court and fined together with their workers, most of them illegal immigrants.
"That was not the only case of illegal land clearing in the State. In fact, it was very rampant until stronger political will put a halt to it," he said, adding that the areas where the problem is most prevalent are Semporna, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Beluran and Paitan in Pitas.
He said, between 1999 and 2002, illegal land clearing activities were massive especially in the Ulu Kalumpang Forest Reserves and some parts of Lahad Datu and one big company operating illegally in Beluran.
"These are local individuals, local towkays using illegals as workers. Contrary to belief, there are very few companies involved in this activity. All driven by greed. They thought they could get away with it.
"Maybe they could have because there was no political will, no political support a long time ago. But ever since Datuk Seri Musa Aman became the Chief Minister, we have managed to enforce the law better because of his support," he said.
According to the department's annual report last year, encroachment of forest reserve lands such as illegal oil palm plantations are the main threat and most pervasive operation in the State since 2003 until late 2013.

BRADDON Liberal MHA Joan Rylah has blamed a contractor for land clearing on her property, which led to council intervention and a state authority's investigation.
BRADDON Liberal MHA Joan Rylah has blamed a contractor for land clearing on her property, which led to council intervention and a state authority's investigation.
"We engaged an independent contractor to undertake work to clear fire hazards, clear fence lines, remove weeds and dangerous trees at risk of falling, from beside the road and to protect infrastructure," Mrs Rylah told The Advocate.
"Many of the trees were considered a danger to stock and ourselves, as land owners."
Mrs Rylah said she was not on site (near Somerset) when any of the work was done.
She said she and her husband, Rod, believed the contractor should have been aware of the riparian reserve.
"On October 27, we were notified by the Forest Practices Board of a possible breach," Mrs Rylah said.
"We immediately instructed the contractor to stop all works and complied with FPB directions.
"Approximately two weeks later, the Waratah-Wynyard Council notified us that a development application was required.

Contractor blamed for land clearing
BAYBORO | The matter of a controversial land-clearing project in Pamlico County could be headed to court, and the Pamlico County Board of Commissioners will be asked for its support Monday at a 7 p.m. meeting.
The Atlas Tract, a 4,658-acre tract of forest and wetlands in the Florence community, is the subject of a possible lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers by the Coastal Federation and local citizens.
Those groups allege illegal ditching and the destruction of wetlands, charges that were first offered by citizens in 2013, with complaints to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. That federal agency gave an Illinois company the authority to clear and ditch land for conversion to agricultural use.
The land owners are Spring Creek Farms LLC, of Illinois.
Spokesmen for the Southern Environmental Law Center and the property owners are on the agenda for Mondays commissioners meeting at the county courthouse.
According to Alan Propst of Oriental, a leader of the citizens group, the request will be for the commissioners to support a letter of intent to sue the federal agencies.
The commissioners last year sent letters to the federal authorities for information and to voice concerns.
The clearing allegedly will undermine the water table in the area and adversely affect nearby estuaries.
Propst said the support of commissioners was vital if a lawsuit goes to federal court.
According to Propst, 251 acres have been cleared and ditched to date.
