Musang King durians planted on Gunung Inas despite not being forest plantation species, says Takiyuddin


KUALA LUMPUR: Despite being unsuitable to be planted in forests, there are about 5,000 Musang King durian trees planted in a 52ha plantation on Gunung Inas, Kedah, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan also said the Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department (JPSM) had ordered an order to halt all immediate plantation of Musang King durians in 2020, when the Kedah government issued an approval in December 2019.
