PETALING JAYA: A PKR vice-president has urged authorities to immediately stop the eviction of farmers on government land.

Tanjong Malim MP Chang Lih Kang said there were many cases of forced eviction of farmers, with the main reasons being the land was given to developer companies for housing projects or large-scale plantations.

He said such incidents continued despite farmers having spent years applying to state governments for the land.

In a statement, Chang said instructions should be given to halt the eviction of farmers on government land or government agency land, or land leased to private companies.
