Mysterious fire destroys 'illegal' timber (yet again).

“It was reported under the pretext that the company’s timber was burned by a fire from the forest nearby, but I think it was set in order to destroy evidence that the committee could have used to find out who the real owner of the timber was and whether it was legal or not,” Mr. Leng said...
