Authorities have blamed the recent Cameron Highlands mudslide on rampant illegal land-clearing and occupation by undocumented foreign workers. This led to a mass crackdown last week, in which 181 illegal immigrants were held. The move has drawn the ire of migrant-rights NGO, Tenaganita, which conducted its own fact-finding mission to get behind the truth of matter.

BFM speaks to the director of Tenaganita, Aegile Fernandez, on the findings.
