KUANTAN: After more than three years, the moratorium on bauxite mining activities in Pahang has ended but this does not mean mining can restart tomorrow.

As emphasised by Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Dr Xavier Jayakumar, the stop-work order would only be withdrawn after all relevant parties were ready to implement and enforce the standard operating procedure (SOP) made available on Sunday (March 31).
