Limestone hills near Simpang Pulai earmarked for industry, says Perak MB

IPOH: The three limestone hills near Simpang Pulai where quarrying is being carried out have been gazetted under the mineral and rock industry economy zone, says Datuk Saarani Mohamad. The Perak Mentri Besar said the hills Gunung Lanno, Gunung Terundum and Gunung Rapat have been gazetted under the Batu Gajah District Council’s Local Plan 2025. Saarani said the majority of the caves located in the three hills are on the property of the quarry operators. “The three limestone hills are not listed as part of the Kinta Valley Geopark. All 18 geopark sites are also not part of the economy zone, ” he said in a statement.

Perhilitan seizes gibbons from rehabilitation centre operated by former ranger

PETALING JAYA: The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) has removed several gibbons from the premises of a sacked former employee who was conducting a rehabilitation programme for the endangered primates. Mariani Ramli, a former ranger who was dismissed from the department in 2017, had previously been given permission by her employer to rehabilitate six gibbons that would later be released into the wild. Upon her dismissal however, the department withdrew that permission. Mariani had challenged her dismissal and the withdrawal of the permission by filing judicial review proceedings. The High Court had in July 2019 set aside the decision to terminate her employment and also the decision to withdraw the gibbons from her care.
