KUALA LUMPUR: The federal government has not made a decision on whether to compensate Pahang RM17.1bil for conserving its forests. “All state government wants compensation, whether we will be able to give them the compensation is a different problem,” Xavier said. Xavier said all water catchment areas and its buffer zones must be preserved and gazetted. “Nobody should go into water catchment areas,” he said.
