SEMENYIH: The Federal Government will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Sabah government next week to plant more “elephant grass” in an effort to create more wildlife corridors.

Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok said part of the funds for the planting would come from the RM1 cess imposed on palm oil players for its environmental and conservation agenda.
