KUANTAN: Some residents of Kampung Bukit Palas in Cherating here, claim their lives have been disrupted because of the sand-mining operation there allegedly for a nearby development project.
Housewife Zaleha Abd Ghani, 52, said the sand mining operation which is taking place less than 30m from her house, began last November, and since then she had to close the door and windows all time to keep the dust out.
Zaleha was met after attending a residents' meeting with Beserah assemblyman, Andansura Rabu in the village, which was also attended by a sand and timber entrepreneur in the area. "We were told that this project might take two years. If it's been like this for a few months, we can’t imagine what the situation will be like .
Zahari, who has been living there for 15 years, claimed that they are also wary of timber trucks moving in and out of a logging site a few kilometres from the village."We are worried as the main road to the village is very badly damaged due to the movements of the heavy lorries carrying sand and timber logs frequently, thus creating a constant danger for us and our children," he said.
