The Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa) has built a concrete road behind Kampung Brooke Lama, Pos Brooke, Gua Musang that connects over 500 villagers to surrounding areas and the main road, said Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Zahid, who is also rural and regional development minister, said this was in contrast to media reports that the villagers were forced to risk their lives going across a dilapidated iron suspension bridge, including sending their children to the nearest school.
