BERA: A man was allegedly punched during a joint enforcement operation at the Tasek Bera Conservation Forest Reserve, police said.
In a joint enforcement operation at Tasek Bera Conservation Forest Reserve, a 54-year-old man was arrested after allegedly punching someone during the 1.20pm assault, police reported. The incident occurred when a group of Orang Asli provoked and obstructed the enforcement operation led by the Pahang State Enforcement Unit at Kampung Lubuk Tambangan near the Ramsar site.
The man sustained injuries following the alleged punch and was not a member of the enforcement team. The investigation into the incident is ongoing under multiple sections of the Penal Code, including those related to causing hurt, obstructing a public servant, and criminal intimidation. Police may make further arrests to assist in the investigation.
Additionally, five Orang Asli were arrested on September 15 for obstructing an enforcement team setting up barriers at Kampung Pathir, close to the lake. The current operation, which began on September 14, aims to curb land encroachment and carry out remeasurement exercises at the Tasek Bera forest reserve, involving several government agencies and law enforcement bodies.
