Shafie to make a decision on coal mining in Maliau Basin


KOTA KINABALU: A 30-year-old question on whether Sabah should allow coal mining has resurfaced under the new state government.

The question was raised by the late primary industries minister Tun Dr Lim Keng Yaik in the 1990s when he asked the Sabah government whether it wanted to save the monkeys or earn money by allowing mining in the famed Maliau Basin, known internationally as the Lost World.
