PSM chairperson Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj has taken issue with the claims by the Perak state government, in which they denied that a group of farmers in Kanthan, Tambun is being forcefully evicted as it is being done according to the law.

Jeyakumar disputed the claims by saying that the use of Section 425 of the National Land Code was inappropriate in this instance, as it covers the occupation of state land without permission from the appropriate authorities.
