DOE: Gunung Inas EIA was for rubber tree plantation, not durian farm

Published: Jul 9, 2022 11:01 AM

The controversial mountain-top plantation linked to the recent flood in Baling, Kedah, was not supposed to plant durians, according to the Environment Department (DOE).

Instead, the department said that the environmental impact assessment (EIA) that was approved in July 2013 was for a rubber tree plantation.
