GELANG PATAH: Residents yesterday grilled the proponent and consultant of the controversial Forest City project once a briefing on the detailed environmental impact assessment (DEIA) of the project was over at the Kampung Pok community hall here.
Kampung Pok Village Development and Security Committee deputy chairman Azman Abdul Rahman said it puzzled him to hear that 60 per cent of the 100 villagers polled by the DEIA consultant were supportive of the project as he did not even know when the survey was conducted.
He said what he heard from the ground contradicted the result of the social and economic impact study.
“As far as I know, we are against the project, and we want the project proponent to find an alternative road so that their access road will not pass by our village,” Azman said.
