KUCHING: There is a possibility that illegal mining of bauxite is still taking place in Felda Bukit Goh, Pahang, although there is no conclusive evidence.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar (pic) said he noticed several heaps of bauxite, as if they were stockpiles, during a recent aerial surveillance of the area.
