SEREMBAN: Authorities have uncovered illegal pig farming activities being carried out in parts of Port Dickson.
State Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Committee chairman Bakri Sawir said there were several farms in operation."I will call all the parties concerned and we will find a solution to this. The important thing is that we need to be fair to all involved," he said when contacted on Tuesday .
However, Bakri said the state government was adamant not to revive plans for a pig farming area in Port Dickson near the Negri Sembilan-Selangor border. The federal government wanted to set up the PFA on a 480ha plot of land following the Nipah virus outbreak in Bukit Pelanduk in Port Dickson, which caused 108 deaths in 1998.Bakri said a committee had been formed to resolve the illegal pig farming activities in Port Dickson.Bakri said at present, the state government only allowed pig farming activities in Air Kuning near here.
Fishermen and boat operators along the Negri Sembilan-Selangor border had also complained of dwindling catch, allegedly caused by the river pollution.
