Miner in standoff with activists


No way out: Heavy machinery blocking the exit route at the site. The sand mining operator threatens to sue the politician and activists.

IPOH: It was supposed to be just a press conference on the alleged destruction of a turtle landing area, but it ended with a politician and several activists being trapped for hours at a sand mining site, even though they had the police on their side.

For five hours, they were barred from leaving the sand mining site in Segari, Lumut before they managed to leave.
