The Kelantan Orang Asli community has vowed more blockades against loggers in Gua Musang.

This comes after the Kelantan Forestry Department, backed by police, dismantled their blockades in Pos Pasik, Pos Petei and Pos Bihai and arrested 54 members of their community on Tuesday.

'The blockades will continue, as it's the only way to save the jungle,' say the arrested Kelantanese.
