Sultan of Pahang shocked by 10,521ha land encroachment in Raub
RAUB: The Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, expressed shock upon learning that approximately 10,521ha of land in Raub had been illegally encroached.
The ruler was astonished by the vast scale of the encroachment, which is equivalent to approximately 14,700 football fields.
"I was surprised during the briefing by the UPNP (Pahang Enforcement Unit elite team), as around 26,000 acres of land have been encroached upon for decades in Raub.
"This encroachment must be stopped through the most effective methods.
"If this is allowed to continue, it would appear as though there is no enforcement from the Forestry Department, District and Land Office, or the Menteri Besar's Office.
"Those planning to apply for government land must go through the proper channels and procedures," he told reporters after attending a briefing on the recent Op Sekat 3.0 enforcement operation at Batu 3, Jalan Sungai Ruan–Sungai Klau today.
