KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 10 — The mudslide that inundated parts of Kampung Raja in Cameron Highlands, Pahang, in December last year was likely caused by a nearby farming project that has yet to be approved by the Environmental Department, Minister of Natural Resources, Environment, and Climate Change Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad revealed today.
The land, spreading over six hectares and “given” to the developer in August 2021, is adjacent to the village hit by the floods that damaged homes and other properties. The slopes of the area are also known to be landslide-prone, designated by the Pahang Mineral and Geoscience Department as medium-dangerous, the minister revealed.
“As such, the JAS has acted under the Environmental Quality Act 1974 to issue a Directive Notice under Section 31 and 37 to stop all site works until an EIA is obtained. The developer was also directed to conduct remedial actions to prevent mud floods.Kampung Raja in Cameron Highlands, a popular tourist spot, had already been inundated by floods and mudslides twice before the most recent one in December 2021.
