Cleared portion of Bukit Botak in Penang illegally turned into ‘durian park’

GEORGE TOWN: The top of a 350m-high hilltop in Penang has been illegally cleared for durian farming, with errant landowners ignoring three orders for them to stop work since March, the city council said today.

The errant landowners have cleared the hill 150m downwards from the summit towards a park, with concrete-paved roads wide enough to take in two cars, with durian and fruit saplings dotting hill contours.

A total of 16ha of land, or about the size of 15 football fields, had been cleared at the top.

It is 10 times more than the infamous Bukit Botak clearing in 2013, which happened to be on the same hill range, but at a different site.
