Original text on this topic:
There are game rangers for the rhino management team to patrol the Kepoh, Juaseh, Sungai jemai, Bekok, and Sungai Jasin areas periodically. However, the effectiveness of curbing encroachment of the extensive region is questionable. The forest is accessible at Kepoh, Juaseh, Sungai Jemai, Bekok and Sungai Jasin by logging roads or jungle tracks. The establishment of the temporary Kepoh Camp can only check poachers on the west side where as the other three points are left to be encroached at any time. Setting up guard posts at Pukin, Bekok and Sungai Jasin and a constant patrolling of the area is essential.
