KLANG: Raging forest fires have destroyed a large chunk of the Kuala Langat Selatan forest reserve as more hotspots are detected, aggravated by the dry weather and wind conditions.
The authorities have expressed concern that the present hot spell could cause the fires to spread rapidly and turn the area into a furnace.
After the first round of fires were put out last week, they have since spotted at least 16 new hotspots, mostly due to open burning activities.
The forest fires are believed to be caused by farmers who habitually burn their land to prepare for the planting of new crops.

NINETEEN chemical barrels were found on Sungai Langat river reserve land in Taman Sri Reko, Kajang, Selangor.
Thirteen were 160l barrels believed to contain solvent while six others were 5l barrels believed to contain thinner.
However, no traces of the chemicals were found in the water body close to the site.
State environment, green technology, tourism and Orang Asli affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said residents nearby spotted the barrels a few days ago and reported the matter to Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj).
The area was an illegal waste dumping site which had been cleared, he said, and possibly used as a chemical dumping ground now.
