IPOH: Allegations of mistreatment and forceful eviction against a group of squatter farmers from Perak who protested outside Parliament on Tuesday (Sept 12) are not true, says the Perak State Development Corporation (PKNP) chief executive Datuk Redza Rafiq Abdul Razak.
He said the state, through the corporation, has held a series of negotiations and engagement sessions to resolve the relevant issues with the farmers that had gone on for more than 11 years.
"At the same time, we have received a memorandum from local folk, including residents from Taman Chepor Sentosa, who often face natural disasters and destruction of properties caused by flash floods they claim are due to the uncontrolled farming activities," he added. The group, which was said to represent about 250 farmers in Perak, claimed that they had farmed on some 645ha of land for more than 80 years.Redza Rafiq said the state often emphasised the importance of practising proper land use and planning procedures.
Redza Rafiq also said the state was always committed to ensure the availability of sufficient food resources.
