Savior of Cameron Highlands

I am watching TV3's Prime time program "Aduan Rakyat", and for 2 weeks Karam Singh has been awesome in his exposure of blatant abuse and corruption in the giving of lands illegally for agriculture and housing. The program has exposed the blatant disregard for the environment and even for the existing laws in place to protect the Highlands from further irreversible destruction. As Karam Singh mentioned in the beginning of the program 2 weeks ago, he has re-visited the site after 12 years, only to find that our treasured Highlands has been terribly abused, and raped beyond recognition. The authorities, when confronted, and in front of TV cameras have vowed to stop the carnage, but I am afraid, the minute TV3 finishes the program, the carnage will continue.

Can we hope that the good work done by TV3 can be protected, and the Highlands saved for our future generations?

Please carry on the good work TV3, and we the public must also join in with our support to protect our Highlands. We must campaign the Government to declare Cameron Highlands a Heritage Site, to be fully protected by law. Violation of the land should be declared a crime against the Nation.
