Pasir Mas: More than 400 logs of various sizes and species as well as wood processing machines were seized in a raid on a timber mill suspected of operating illegally in Kampung Tok Limin, near Bunut Susu in Pasir Mas today. General Operations Force (GOF) Southeast Brigade Commander Datuk Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid stated that the operation, conducted by a team of Battalion 8 GOF members at 10.45 am, was part of Op Bersepadu Khazanah.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the inspection revealed that the mill lacked a valid licence from the Forestry Department and was sourcing timber supplies without the necessary permits and taxes from the surrounding area. Four local men, aged between 34 and 67, were detained to assist in the investigation. The total value of the seizure, including timber, machinery, and wood processing machines, is estimated at RM1.17 million.

The case is being investigated under Section 93(2) of the National Forestry Act 1984 (Act 313), and all suspects, along with the seized items, have been handed over to the Kelantan Forestry Department for further action. The Southeast GOF Brigade has committed to intensifying operations to combat illegal timber processing, particularly in the country's border areas.
