GEORGE TOWN, April 30 An environmental group wants local authorities and the state government to investigate massive hill clearing works in Batu Ferringhi here.
Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) president Meenakshi Raman said the hill slope off Persiaran Sungai Emas 3 has been cleared and terraced.
“During SAM’s survey, we found the access route which leads to the cleared land but were unable to go any further to avoid trespassing as we were uncertain of the status of the land,” she said in a statement today.

PUTRAJAYA: Starting June, plastic waste importers must pay RM20 for every tonne of scrap brought into the country for recycling in a move by the government to regulate the recycling industry and curb plastic pollution.
Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said the government had wanted to charge a fee of RM50 for every tonne but it was negotiated down to RM20.
“They have agreed, so we will implement this in June, ” she told The Star.
