Pahang may have found the “secret formula” for this - tell them that they are “saving the environment” This was the supposed “noble cause” that led the state’s forestry department

The General Operations Force (GOF) were also there to enforce this new-found “passion” to go green. Why, it almost seemed that the durian farmers were like “eco-terrorists” that had to be deterred by men wearing army uniforms and toting machine guns. What a “fantastic” show of force!
