The Pahang state government has initiated enforcement actions involving the forfeiture of 122 land titles belonging to Berjaya Hills Resort Berhad in Bukit Tinggi, Bentong. This action is due to unpaid land tax arrears totaling approximately RM70.48 million. Various local organizations, including the Pahang State Veterans Association and UMNO Youth Pahang, have expressed support for the state, arguing that corporations must adhere to the same legal and financial obligations as citizens.

Following the enforcement, the Pahang state government stated it is open to discussions with Berjaya Hills Resort Bhd, provided any resolution strictly follows existing laws. The dispute is rooted in disagreements over land quit rent rates, which saw significant changes following appeals in 2020. 

While authorities have sealed or restricted access to certain areas such as staff quarters and specific recreational sites, Berjaya Corp Bhd has reported that its main businesses remain fully operational and that the enforcement is not expected to have a material financial or operational impact on the group.
