Cops to Tasek Bera villagers: Let survey teams do their work
KUANTAN: Police have urged villagers near Tasek Bera to cooperate with enforcement authorities conducting a remeasurement exercise at the Tasek Bera Conservation Forest Reserve.
KUALA LUMPUR: Acting Pahang Police Chief Datuk Azry Akmar Ayob has called on villagers in the vicinity of Tasek Bera Conservation Forest Reserve to assist enforcement authorities in a recent remeasurement exercise. The police chief emphasized that community cooperation was essential for the seamless execution of the survey work.
However, some villagers have erected unauthorized barriers, which has impeded public servants from carrying out their duties effectively. This obstruction led to the arrest of five individuals on September 15 for obstructing civil servants. They were subsequently released on police bail the following day.
Azry addressed the issue of Orang Asli villagers near Tasek Bera, who had set up guard posts, erected barriers, and clashed with enforcement officers attempting to enter their villages for land surveying on September 14. He urged the public to rely on verified information regarding the incident and the ongoing operation at the forest reserve.
It is crucial not to take any action or disseminate unverified information on social media platforms. He stressed that the cooperation of all parties is vital to ensure that the situation is resolved appropriately.
