KSSB’s shortcomings the reason for rampant illegal mining


PETALING JAYA: When state-owned Kumpulan Semesta Sdn Bhd (KSSB) was formed in 2008 to manage sand mining in the state, it faced allegations of corruption and conducting devious operations. And this matter continues until today.

Because this is the only company allowed to carry out sand mining in the state, it is unable to meet the huge demand for sand, making illegal mining rampant in the state.
