KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 — The Royal Malaysia Police has mobilised its General Operations Force (GOF) team to Raub, Pahang, to maintain public order in the district following the dispute between durian farmers and law enforcers yesterday.
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the police also called on all quarters involved to use the right channels if they were any objections against the action taken by the law enforcers.
He said the legal matter concerning the encroachment of forest reserve by the farmers was under the purview of the Raub District Land Office and Pahang Forestry Department.
“The GOF was mobilised there (Raub) to maintain public order and the police will not compromise with any quarters who try to disturb the authorities from discharging their duties.”
He said this to reporters after checking the situation at the Sri Sabah flats in Cheras which had come under the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) from July 3 to 16.
