CAMERON HIGHLANDS: NATURAL Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri G. Palanivel plans to hold discussions with Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob to seek the best solution to the problems here.
He will also have talks with the Pahang Public Works Department, the Rural and Regional Development Ministry and state government agencies.
Besides the problem of illegal land clearing for agriculture, the proliferation of illegal settlements and business areas in the highlands has become a major problem.
Speaking after visiting the site of Sunday's landslide in Brinchang yesterday, Palanivel said such problems had got out of hand, and uncooperative residents and business operators had made it even more difficult for the government to tackle the issues.
"We may have to find new sites before we can relocate homes and business premises operating illegally near rivers and hillslopes.
He said the government had to take a cautious approach to addressing illegal land clearings for agriculture as it contributed RM2 billion worth of exports annually.
The landslide on Sunday left two people injured and damaged a car workshop, two houses and about 10 vehicles.
