Three men, including Indonesian, detained for encroaching into forest reserve
RAUB: Three men, including an Indonesian national, have been detained for allegedly encroaching into the Rotan Tunggal Forest Reserve in Kampung Sang Lee near here on motorcycles, police said. District police chief Superintendent Mohd Shahril Abdul Rahman said the department was alerted to individuals spotted trespassing into the forest site at around 8am yesterday. "Police personnel from the Raub district headquarters and Tranum police station monitored the area for several hours before they spotted three men on separate motorcycles entering the forest reserve," he said in a statement. Shahril said the intruders, aged between 38 and 51, were detained in the forest reserve at approximately 12.30pm. The suspects were handed over to the Forestry Department for investigation under Section 88(1) of the National Forestry Act 1984, which carries a fine not exceeding RM20,000 or imprisonment of up to three years, or both, upon conviction. Shahril said police view the encroachment of forest reserves as a serious offence. He urged members of the public with information on such activities to contact the Raub police headquarters operations room at 09-3552222.
