This Land Is Whose Land?

Dominating headlines for this past week has been the situation in Gua Musang in Kelantan, as tensions ran high when a blockade that was set-up by the Temiar tribe from the Orang Asli community was destroyed by men believed to be ad-hoc workers for a plantation. Sheridan Mahavera, journalist with The Malaysian Insight who has been following the developments closely, talks about the "unseen hands" behind this conflict.
