MB: No halt to bauxite mining

Problem in the air: Workers hosing down vehicles covered in bauxite dust in the Kuantan Port area.

KUANTAN: Pahang cannot immediately put a stop to bauxite mining because it has to consider those earning a living off it, says Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob.

The Mentri Besar said bauxite mining generated economic activities that had spin-off effects in the state.
