Its minister, Datuk Seri G. Palanivel, said the Perak Land and Mines director-general and environment director-general would discuss the matter with the district land office.

He said the district land office, state government and the Attorney-General's Chambers should immediately put a stop to such illegal activities in the affected areas.

"Furthermore, land clearing on hilly areas will cause soil erosion and floods," he said in a statement here yesterday.

Palanivel was commenting on a News Straits Times report which stated that the Sungai Bertam tragedy had failed to prevent stubborn farmers from farming along river reserves, buffer zones, roadsides and hilly terrain.

On Oct 23 last year, tonnes of water were released from the Sultan Abu Bakar Dam after it hit the dam's maximum threshold limit, following heavy rains. In the ensuing flash floods, three people were killed.

Palanivel, who is also Cameron Highlands member of parliament, said illegal land-clearing activities in the highlands should cease, and the land office should take stern and immediate action to protect the land.

He said Cameron Highlands was a tourist area but arrivals were dropping due to illegal clearing of land for agriculture activities, which had also adversely impacted the environment.

Palanivel said environmentalists were "very angry and annoyed" at the rampant destruction caused by illegal land-clearing activities. Bernama

Palanivel: Illegal land clearing must stop

CAMERONHIGHLANDS:The farmers here are unstoppable, with illegal land-clearing along Sungai Bertam, the scene of the flash floods that killed three people less than three months ago, back at full steam.

The Oct 23 tragedy, which saw tonnes of water from the Sultan Abu Bakar Dam released after it hit the dams maximum threshold limit following heavy rains, has failed to serve as a reminder to the more than 1,500 farmers operating in Bertam Valley.

Recent checks by the New Straits Times revealed fresh, full-scale farming along the river reserves and buffer zones, roadsides and hilly terrain notwithstanding.

Except for a few marked sections, where river widening and deepening activities are being carried out, almost every metre of the river reserve is dotted with rows and rows of leafy greens and flowers.

Even the spot where the body of the last victim was found was not spared, with preparations being made to plant flowers and vegetables.

A farmer, who wanted to be known only as Kamaluddin and operates a strawberry farm in Habu, some distance from Bertam Valley, said those affected by the floods were back in business within just a few days of the tragedy.

"They know that the river is off-limits because of the widening project, but they just can't be bothered.

"The debris from the floods was cleared within days and you can see the plots of vegetables now ready for harvesting."

The more than 80 houses destroyed in the incident had also been rebuilt, he said.

"Replacing the old dilapidated shacks and semi-wooden houses washed away by floods are concrete houses built close to each other mainly for their workers, who are mostly Indonesians and Bang-ladeshis.

They are not James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 but they're cut from the same cloth.

Sort of.

A shipment of furnishings from the Aston Martin Interiors collection is anticipated to arrive at a South Florida showroom early February, turning Pompano Beach-based Zelman Style Interiors into the exclusive Florida distributor of the luxurious furniture line.

The "sleek and contemporary" collection includes chairs, sofas, desks and lamps that are made with the same technologies and materials used in the production of the coveted English sports cars, said Steven Zelman, founder and owner of Zelman Style Interiors.

The pieces will be showcased at Zelman's Sunny Isles Beach showroom at 17070 Collins Ave.

Zelman said the collaboration evolved after one of his friends saw the line in Italy and informed him that the manufacturer was seeking distributors.

"We both did our due diligence to find out if we wanted to do this," Zelman said of himself and Formitalia, the company that produces and markets the furniture. "It's a car line and not many (interior designers) would have taken it.

"But Aston Martin has that air about it, very James Bond. It's classic."

Zelman, who's been in the industry for more than 25 years, is confident the new collection will give him a competitive advantage over other local high-end designers.

His clients, he said, include celebrities, athletes and CEOs from South Florida and around the world who book him for projects that cost anywhere from $100,000 to $10 million.
