‘Bauxite mining go-ahead depends on EIA report’


KUANTAN: The future of bauxite mining activities in Felda Bukit Goh and Felda Bukit Kuantan here will depend on the Environmental Im­­pact Assessment (EIA) report by the relevant authority appointed by Perba­danan Kemajuan Negeri Pahang (PKNP), says Sungai Lembing assemblyman Datuk Md Sohaimi Mohamed Shah.

He said as long as the outcome was not satisfactory, the Federal Government’s moratorium period on bauxite mining would not be lifted.
