KUALA LUMPUR: In the aftermath of the deadly Batang Kali landslide that has claimed at least 26 lives, questions are being raised about licensing approvals that are needed to run campsites in Malaysia. 

After the landslide in the early hours of Dec 16, Local Government Development Minister Nga Kor Ming had said that the operators of the Father’s Organic Farm in Batang Kali were permitted to open organic farms but had not put in an application to set up campsites.
