CAMERON HIGHLANDS, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri G.Palanivel has proposed issuing Temporary Occupation Licences (TOL) to illegal farm operators here to curb haphazard land clearing.
"Although they're operating illegally, we want the cooperation of the land and district offices to issue TOL with the appropriate fees. Let them occupy the land they're on now and not expand it further," he said after presenting aid in conjunction with Chinese New Year in Brinchang here Thursday.
He said the proposal was based on the fact that the farmers have worked on the land for years and some were even exporting their crops.
The various agencies including the Department of Environment and Department of Minerals and Land have agreed to the TOL during the discussions held, he noted.
"All parties have agreed for the farmers to maintain the land they're occupying and be issued a TOL. They won't be evicted for the time being so we hope they will also cooperate with us," he said.
Palanivel explained that some of the illegally cleared land would be replanted with a variety of trees to prevent erosion which could lead to natural disasters such as land and mud slides.
An English daily had earlier reported that the illegal clearing of land was still being carried out despite last year's (October) flash floods tragedy which claimed three lives.
It further claimed that "the Pahang government's gloves are off as it moves in on those involved in illegal land-clearing and farming in Cameron Highlands."
"It has sat down with the Natural Resources and Environment, and Home ministries to discuss a massive crackdown to arrest the problem once and for all. They are closely guarding the details of the operations, as they learnt from past operations, that those they were after were often tipped off," the daily added.

The Great British Interior Design Challenge BBC2
"IN Britain," notes architecture and design critic Tom Dyckhoff, "we have an amazing array of places we call home." Especially since the cutbacks 50 per cent of public sector workers now live in the woods.
"But," adds Dyckhoff, "when it comes to interior design, we don't always make the most of the rooms we live in."
True. I've been saying for a while we should convert the front room into a replica of the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.
BBC2's new show seeks to find the finest amateur interior designers in the land. It's the latest example of putting the words 'Great' and 'British' in front of a domestic chore, this time decorating, previously baking and sewing, in an attempt to make it sexy. The Great British Bath Wipe Round starts next week.
Last night's contestants were charged with stamping their mark on three art deco homes in Kent. "Built in the 1930s," noted Dyckhoff, "to those who owned them they must have seemed like the glamorous otherworldly homes they'd seen on the silver screen." People in Wolverhampton feel the same when they watch Apocalypse Now.
They included 26-year-old illustrator Amy. "I grew up by the beach," she revealed, "and that really inspired my work." Thankfully, she wasn't from Sellafield.
"My style," she said, "is coastal vintage with a light modern twist." Think fishing village with a McDonald's.
The contenders were given 1,000 and just 48 hours to impress the judges. Award-winning architect Daniel Hopwood and interior designer Sophie Robinson.

The Great British Interior Design Challenge (BBC2): TV review
A low-power, multiroom sensor network watches for drips and runs on a coin-cell battery.
Earlier this month, as Google was snatching up the smart-thermostat maker Nest for $3.2 billion, a lesser known home sensor company made its own announcement. SNUPI Technologies, a Seattle startup, said it had garnered $7.5 million in funding. That might be pocket change compared to the Nest deal, but it was a significant endorsement just ahead of SNUPIs first product launch: a low-power wireless sensor network called WallyHome that tracks humidity, water leaks, and temperature throughout a building.
There are already many home monitors on the market; some, such as Lowes Iris Home Management System and a water leak and flood sensor from General Electric, are even wirelessly networked. What makes WallyHome novel is its use of a low-power communication scheme that lets sensors send data back to an Internet-connected base station over significant distances and through obstructions like walls and floors while sipping power from a coin-cell battery.
SNUPI cofounder Gabe Cohn believes this long-distance, low-power approach will endear the product to homeowners who want a reliable sensor network that requires little maintenance and can be installed easily. The base station plugs into a wall outlet and an Internet router via an Ethernet cable. Six wireless sensors are placed in leak- or humidity-prone areas, such as behind a toilet, under a dishwasher, or near a sump pump. And each sensors battery should power the device for up to 10 years without a replacement, Cohn says.
Most sensor networks rely on wireless protocols like Wi-Fi, ZigBee, or Bluetooth to send a signal to a base station tens of feet away. Some of these networks require devices that boost a wireless signal so it can go around walls or through floors, and they tend to require multiple battery replacements during their lifetimes.
Instead of blasting a wireless signal tens of feet, the WallyHome sensors emit a relatively weak wireless signal. While the signal isnt powerful enough to reach a base station on its own, it can reach inside walls and resonate with the copper wiring that carries electricity. WallyHome effectively turns these internal power lines into antennas, propagating sensor data to a base station, which is plugged into the same lines. Data is then uploaded to a cloud-based data collection and analysis service, and a person can check the status of a sensor using the Web and a smartphone app. The system sends a text, e-mail, or mobile phone alert if water is detected or temperature and humidity thresholds are exceeded. You have these wireless sensor nodes you can place anywhere in the house or building because power lines go anywhere, says Cohn.
The concept of using power lines to augment wireless sensor networks arose from research conducted by Cohn and co-inventors Matt Reynolds and Shwetak Patel, both professors at the University of Washington. In addition to cofounding SNUPI (Sensor Network Utilizing Powerline Infrastructure) in 2012, Patel, who was one of MIT Technology Reviews 35 Innovators Under 35 in 2009, also cofounded Zensi, acquired by Belkin in 2010. Patel was awarded a MacArthur award in 2011.
Elizabeth Mead, an analyst at IHS, a research firm, says that energy management is crucial for home networks. Low-power devices are becoming increasingly important, especially as the number of sensors in home networks proliferate.
Cohn hopes WallyHomes water-watching network will appeal to people who might have a second home that isnt regularly occupied, or who have previously experienced water damage, which can cause thousands of dollars of damage.
Over time, the system, which runs sensor data through machine-learning algorithms, will eventually be able to infer trends and anticipate changes in the environment, Cohn says. It could, for instance, notice that leaks from frozen pipes are common in certain areas at certain times of the year and issue warnings to customers.
