GUA MUSANG, Aug 24 — The Bateq Orang Asli community at Kampung Aring 5 in Pos Lebir here has been living in fear since elephants invaded the settlement and damaged houses and crops in the past week.
“The first day the elephant entered the village was on August 16, the next day it came with its young. On the third day, it broke the window panes of a house and ransacked the kitchen with its trunk,” he said at Kampung Aring 5 here today.“The owner of the house managed to get all his children out before calling other residents for help.
Resident Ghani Alang, 55, said that since the intrusion of these wild animals, residents could not go out looking for durians, with some not even daring to stay in bamboo houses anymore. Meanwhile, director of the Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks Kelantan Mohamad Hafid Rohani said they have investigated the scene following reports received from villagers.
