DEFORESTATION INC | In 2019, signs of logging appeared near Kampung Lawai, an Orang Asli village located in Jalong Tinggi, Perak. 

Kampung Lawai is the highest among the several Orang Asli villages in that area, with an altitude of more than 635m.

Heavy machinery was brought up the mountain, causing damage to the roads and polluting Sungai Korbu, the main water source for the villagers.
