The villagers in Baling are blaming durian plantations for the floods.
BFM talks to Kiu Jia Yaw, co-deputy chair of the Bar Council environment and climate change committee, and Khor Yu Leng, a political economist at Segi Enam Advisors. They look at the impact these plantations have had on our environment and the issues behind the way forest land is parcelled out.
