Orang Asli villagers from Kampung Kelaik, Kelantan, claim to have evidence that an iron ore mining company is still operating.

This is despite Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad saying on Dec 18 that the mine - operated by Redstar Capital Sdn Bhd - was not in operation.
