Perak Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad has denied allegations that the Perak Menteri Besar Corporation (MB Inc) resorted to persecution and forcibly evicted farmers in Pasir Panjang Ulu, Perak Tengah district.

He said the process was carried out legally, adding that MB Inc held a series of direct negotiations with the farm operators since 2021, in addition to offering ex-gratia payment at a reasonable rate.
